This past Saturday, my gaming group got together for another session. As we were playing, the DM looked up at me and said, "Wait... You're playing a Dragonborn, right?"
"Umm... Yeah?"
"You're the only one that can read Draconic out of the group, right?"
After a short moment of everyone looking over their sheets, we did discover that this was true.
"...We'll have to get something figured out for you."
Later that day, I found out that my DM was looking for a way for me to read a note that was left on one of the enemies that we had killed without any of the other players knowing what it said. The wheels in my head started turning and I suddenly remembered a site from my high school days. I was lucky enough to find the site and am now passing it on.
It's called ClaWrite, and it's a "Draconic alphabet based on a 3x3 grid of straight strokes, which are very easlily made with the claws".
It's fairly easy to learn and write, and there are also TruType fonts available if you wanted to make player handouts for any PCs that speak Draconic, but you'd rather them relay the information rather than have them read it from the page.
It does add a fair bit of flavor to the game (as well as lets players stay in character). Try it out with your players and see what you think.
