Ah, but there is nothing in the game implying that they CAN'T do that.
It's true... I have always wondered exactly what led to the Cult of Andraste believing that a dragon was the reincarnation of the Prophet, but in all fairness I just assumed they saw such a mythical creature as something to revere rather than that it actually took the Prophet's form or anything.

As for the Broodmother... doubt that thing could move at all, and indeed it wasn't going to be able to; the Broodmother was going to be the second-most important role in the game not for her attacking capabilities (which were zero) but what else she brought to the table for the mafia. Disguising a giant boob-creature as a humanoid... don't think that's possible.

My idea was to have a cabal of blood mages or something similar as one mafia faction, some Darkspawn as the other... it would mean I could chop-and-change the hit point system (or scrap it entirely) and perhaps that the abilities/specialisations mechanic could extend to all characters (with a few special exceptions!).
