I had to pause 2/3 into the episode and hope to finish it today, but I didn't want to forget this thought.
Where can we look for an example of a PC playing a dragon that isn't overpowered at all? You might be thinking Quest for Camelot, and that kind of works, but those guys hardly count as a dragon. I'm thinking about Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Eustace becomes a dragon as a part of a curse, is somewhat useful as a dragon, but it's mostly a burden on him. His dragon form is eventually removed.
It might be a good first step into Monsters and PCs to let a player obtain a cursed item that turns them into a monster. This allows them to have the monster experience they are looking for, and if they hate it or it's overpowered, the curse can be removed and the campaign can continue. If I ever have a player who wants to play a monster, we'll try this experiment first.
