I was wondering if there is any way to get more uses/day out of dragon marked abilities without taking the dragon marked heir prc or the feats lesser and greater dragon mark.

In a word... no.

Actually, I believe so. My ECS isn't by my side at the moment, but some of those Syberis shard items provide extra Dragonmark uses IIRC.

Edit: I found it. Dragonshard Reservoir, on page 260 of the ECS.

It's not in the rules, but a DM might let you activate it an extra time for an action point.

I think 2 action points would be more in line, since it's comparable to the Activate Class Feature ability of action points.

Don't forget that improving your Dragonmark with the regular feats gives additional uses of lower level abilities anyway.

Edit: I should read more thoroughly. Ah well. Yeah, those fancy rod things and such.

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at the stuff you've mentioned.

Absolutely yes. pg 260 of the ECS describes the Dragonmark Reservoir. 7,000 gps for a Least Reservoir which gives you an extra use (of your least dragonmark ability) per day.

Actually, a series of feats that grant you one additional daily use wouldn't be out of line.

Improved Least Dragonmark [General]
You are more adept at using your least dragonmark.
Prerequisites: Least Dragonmark
Benefit: You can use your least dragonmark spell-like ability one additional time per day. The caster level of your dragonmark spell-like abilities increases by one. If you are capable of using more than one spell-like ability with your least dragonmark, you select to which spell-like ability this feat applies.

Improved Lesser Dragonmark [General]
You are more adept at using your lesser dragonmark.
Prerequisites: Lesser Dragonmark
Benefit: You can use your lesser dragonmark spell-like ability one additional time per day. The caster level of your dragonmark spell-like abilities increases by one. If you are capable of using more than one spell-like ability with your lesser dragonmark, you select to which spell-like ability this feat applies.

Improved Greater Dragonmark [General]
You are more adept at using your greater dragonmark.
Prerequisites: Greater Dragonmark
Benefit: You can use your greater dragonmark spell-like ability one additional time per day. The caster level of your dragonmark spell-like abilities increases by one. If you are capable of using more than one spell-like ability with your greater dragonmark, you select to which spell-like ability this feat applies.

Cheers,

Isn't the Dragon Shard Resevoir way overpriced. Gives you one additional use of a least ability for 7,000 gp. Isn't there a cane in RoE that does the same thing for 1,000 gp?

Yep, Dragonmark Sceptre, pg 173. I reckon 1,000gp is too cheap, but 7,000gp seems like waaay too much for the ring.

MoE has items like this, also. But they are most useful to characters with the Greater Dragonmarks, are keyed to each house, and are expensive.
