ok this may have been asked before but I only have about 10 minutes...and I can not seem to find the search function for the forums soo I will just ask

in the monster manual 3...
the Dracotaur starts play with 3 levels of a class called "Dragon" thats in simply dragon...I have the Draconomicon but it does not mention this class...is it in the new book on dragons(sorry I spaced on the name of this book)? or is it somewhere else?

ooh and in the level adjustment of +5 does this include the 3 levels of "Dragon" or is that seperate?

thank you for any useful information

it gives all the bonuses it receives from it in the description so no worries. it's just racial levels. not a true base class. and the +5 does include the 3 racial levels.

i suppose in theory you could. it's pretty easy to figure out the progression on dragon racial levels from the details given. I don't you'd get any cool class abilities or bonus feats though.

Monster Manual 1 should have dragon hitdice near the end of the book, which maybe close enough.

The Monster Manual does have info on what a hit die of dragon entails. That's all you need, other than knowing how many levels of dragon a creature has. For the record, dragon is not a class; it is a race. However, current game mechanics has it operate much the same.

The Dracotaur has 3 Racial Hitdie (dragon) and +5 LA making it equilevalent to 8th level character. (ECL 8). So 1st level dracotaur barbarian would be in par with other characters at level 9.

The Dragon HD grant following:
skill points: 6+Int (x4 at 1st level)

lvl bab f r w
1 +1 2 2 2 feat
2 +2 3 3 3
3 +3 3 3 3 feat


The rest of the progression is copyrighted and I'd break the code of conduct if I posted my version of good dracotaur progression here.

Actually, a preview of the dracotaur was shown on the wotc website, meaning anyone can actually have access to its full stats, so I guess an allowance could be made here. :) Or are you refering to some SS progression in some splatbook?
