Be a dragon.
(1)(2) You cosplay as a dragon.
I guess that that's about as good as I could expect.

Locate a real dragon. One that won't kill me.

Cast Barrier.

(2)(3)(1)  You learn the barrier spell!  It requires continual upkeep and concentration to prevent from collapsing.

Check the window outside.

(1)(2) You attempt to look outside, but it is too dark.

>Summon kittens everywhere, become the kitten lord.

(1)(2) You adopt a kitten from a humane society and call yourself the kitten lord.

Locate a real dragon. One that won't kill me.

(2)(1) You go to a dragon cosplaying event.  It is the closest you can come.

Spawn in as a martial artist.

Btw what does having more dice do?

(2)(2) You spawn as a martial artist.  You spawn as a white belt, but you soon get a yellow.  You are now level 2!  Your rolls are now 3d3.

(Less likely to die for one.)

Spawn as a hydra.

(2)(1) You draw a hydra on a sheet of paper and imagine being one.

Oh come on.
Roll something other than a 1 and a 2.

I am starting to lose faith in this setup. You literally can never win until you gain a couple levels, and that takes forever.

(xD6 - x) where x is level might work better.

so, Level 1, you can roll 0 through 5, level 2, 0 through 10, three, 0 through 15, ect. This way, everyone can roll crap, but the high-level guys can succeed more.

As I said, this is experimental.  I'll try this out.

How about something like (x/2.5)d(x+1) instead of CDC so the curve is less steep; and slightly change the effects of high and low dice rolls?

Enter a martial arts competition

Roll something other than a 1 and a 2.

(3) Happy?

Fine then. Create potion to transform me into a Hydra.

(4) You create a potion that can permanently transform you into a hydra.  However, it requires you to use at least two dragon cosplayers, and be in a suit yourself.  Fortunately, there is a convention in town.

How about something like (x/2.5)d(x+1) instead of CDC so the curve is less steep; and slightly change the effects of high and low dice rolls?

Enter a martial arts competition

(3)(2) You enter the competition.  You will be the last to fight in the first round, against someone who you see has a higher natural skill than you.

Sleep for a few more hours until dawn.

(4) You sleep a few more hours.  It is still pitch black outside.

Meditate until I learn space magic.

(3) You meditate for a time, and grow impatient with your inability to learn space magic. [-1 to meditation (If the base roll, after going through the system, is a 5, you still level up)]
