I'd like to see if anyone here has general guidelines for both a mechanically balanced and flavorful aspect towards a cleric i'm creating for a one-shot adventure that revolves around slaying a Blue Dragon.

Setting is Forgotten Realms

Level 15

Any 3.5 supplement is allowed

If any more information is needed, i'll be happy to provide it.

Be sure you wait something like 48 hours before you repeat this. ;)

Anyways, the Dragon Slayer from Draconomicon might be just what you're looking for. Are you thinking about focusing on spellcasting or fighting?

03-31-06, 07:28 PM I know I could make a mean melee cleric, but wondered what spells or other feats would suit his theme just fine. Either a pure spellcasting build or tank type would be welcome.

Oh, and this guy is a pure Clr 15 , he won't be taking any prestige classes. :embarrass

03-31-06, 08:35 PM First of all, what race are you? if you are a dragon slayer, maybe try to focus on something that has SR, and high dex. SR for the dragon's spell-like abilities, and dex for AC and reflex saves for the breath attack. Also, what kind of dragons are you fighting? Good dragons? I hope you at least have the draconomicon, and maybe races of dragon. Or, you could ask your DM what alignment you are fighting.

03-31-06, 09:18 PM Well, I did mention it is a Blue Dragon.

I was thinking Human, with Elf a strong possibility.
