you should also consider your audience.
you may think dropcaps look cool- the readers of your book(s) may not
personally I detest them and they are the first things I rip out of my to-read copy of any book. - so there goes all your hard work!
i think they had their place , in the dark ages, keeping bored monks awake as they hand copied.
now they just reduce overall readability ( several empirical studies have confirmed - ask google)
and the smaller the device screen , the more annoying they become.
