Its not that special or unique.
Palladium/rifts its extremely common to have fully playable stats for monster races that are sentient. Dragons, giants, ferries, ect.
Most are 1step more combat capable than most pc's but 1 to 2 step under in skills.

Honestly, getting a player to not act like a metaphor of a human into a dragon is harder than preparing encounters.
Why limit players to humans and dwarves ? Why not let them be cool shit occasionally?
Get a better system.

What kind of game doesn't let you play as a killer whale, dolphin or hump back whale? Dragons are mundane by comparison....honestly its cliche to say but look past DnD sometime
