Multiclassing would be best though. A comparable level of effort put into a dragon at high levels should yield a character at least as strong as a biped with the same amount of effort. Perhaps even stronger since the dragon had to bear with being extremely weak at low levels while the biped did not.
Ok, now here I have some questions
1) How is a low level dragon less powerful then a low level biped?
Now based on my understanding, level for level dragons are quite a match for bipeds until bipeds start getting into multiple classes.
A level 1 dragon can cast spells, have built in armor (horde), and fight, can heal.
A biped at level 1 (1 level) can do one of those.
