I don't think this will work without problems for a complete document.

Enclosing each paragraph with \bpar ... \epar allows you to count the  
paragraph
number since the last chapter and you can save \prevgraf at the end  
with twopass
data for the next run.

But wouldn't a direct \lettrine at the begin of the first paragraph be  
easier.
