12-05-05, 10:32 PM O.k. The Sorcerer claims to have the blood of dragons in his/her veins and proves it by casting spells. How about a non-spellcaster descended from dragons (without a draconic template, wiseasses)? Heres what I have so far.

—12-sided Hit Dice.
—Base attack bonus equal to total Hit Dice (as fighter).
—Good Fortitude, Reflex, and Will saves.
—Skill points equal to (6 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per Hit Die, with quadruple skill points for the first Hit Die.

Any suggestions for weapon/armor proficiencies, class skills, or special abilities?

I'm thinking Darkvision and Low-light Vision for races that don't have them, and Improved Darkvision and Low-light Vision for races that already have them, but aside from that, I'm stuck.

You could in theory just stretch the Dragon Disciple out over twenty levels, adding little in the way of abilities because the skill points and BAB are so high.
You could have the PC choose a dragon type like a cleric chooses a domain, with a few abilities tied to such a selection, along with additional skill selection.
Highly limited arcane spell casting, like the Hexblade.
Natural weapons and armor.

Really dragons are too good to be translated into player class completely.

12-06-05, 05:42 AM Give them eldritch blast (breath weapon), but it is either cone or line (player's choise) and deals energy damage (player's choise exept sound), reflex save for half. DC con based.

Give them energy resistance that slowly gets better to immunity. And to blance that, vunerlability. And maybe as a bonus one other minor energy resistance.

No armor or weapon proficiencies. And give them natural weapons (claws and bite) and natural armor.

You should give it few variables to choose as "upgrades". Like wings, tail, spell resistance, frightful presence, spell like abilities, DR.

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Thanks.
