Drake_the_Windseeker 06-09-07, 02:12 PM	After thoroughly searching through Dragon Magic, I came to find that there was no Epic advancement for this class, which I have recently become fascinated with. I'm largely basing this off of the Epic Warlock build, since that is the only other base class which it seems comparable to. So let me know what you think about this build! Epic Dragonfire Adept You have taken the power of your draconic ancestors to such lengths that you have cast aside the remainder of your humanity in order to obtain the power of great wyrms. Hit Die: d8. Skill Points At Each Additional Level: 4+Int modifier. Invocations: The epic dragonfire adept's caster level is equal to their class level. They do not learn additional invocations. Breath Weapon: The epic dragonfire adept's breath weapon damage increases by 1d6 at every even-numbered level after 20th (10d6 at 22nd level, 11d6 at 24th level and so on). Scales: The epic dragonfire adept's scales increase their natural armor bonus by +1 every three levels higher than 20th (23rd, 26th, 29th, and so on). Damage Reduction: The epic dragonfire adept's damage reduction increases by 1 point (to 6/magic) at 23rd level and by 1 additional point every four levels thereafter (7/magic at 27th, 8/magic at 31st, and so on). Bonus Feat: The epic dragonfire gains a bonus feat every three levels after 20th (at 23rd level, at 26th level and so on). Their bonus feats can be chosen from the following list: Alertness, Armor Skin, Clinging Breath, Damage Reduction, Double Draconic Aura, Draconic Aura, Draconic Senses, Dragonfire Assault, Energy Resistance, Enlarge Breath, Epic Breath Weapon*, Epic Extra Invocation, Epic Prowess, Epic Reputation, Epic Toughness, Extend Life Span, Extra Invocation, Great Charisma, Great Constitution, Lingering Breath, Maximize Breath, Quicken Breath, Recover Breath, Split Breath. Epic Breath Weapon Your breath weapon attains the power of the dragons you are inspired by. Prerequisites: breath weapon that does d6s for damage. Benefit: Choose one of your breath weapons, if you have multiple breath weapons, or apply this feat to your only breath weapon. That breath weapon's damage increases by 1d6. Special: You can take this feat multiple times. The effects stack.

I looked at the Epic Warlock build in "Complete Arcane," but I figured a +1 natural armor bonus to AC every three levels would be comperable to the bonus feats the Epic Warlock got. Perhaps I should give them a bonus feat every five levels, because every epic level progression should get one, eh?

All epic progressions hav bonus feats; a natural armor bonus is in no way comparable. Look at the Warlock again; I myself would have bonus feats every 3rd or 4th level.

EDIT: Well, 3 is fine if you take out those nasty invocations that slow or entangle you on a successful save :/. Well, the Warlock's got equally nasty stuff (Chilling Tentacles, Nightmares Made Real), and it still has a feat/ 3 levels progression. As far as the DA's feat list goes, some suggestions include Damage Reduction, Energy Resistance, Epic Reputation, Epic Spell Penetration, Epic Weapon Focus, and Extended Life Span. There's probably other appropriate feats as well. I sound like a broken record by now, but check out the Warlock for ideas.

Actually, I was thinking about going to see what sort of bonus feats the Epic Dragon Disciple allows for, then the Epic Warlock, and then mixing and matching accordingly. Will do as soon as I feel like it.... probably now, while I'm still thinking about it. EDIT: Edited accordingly.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-11-07, 05:36 PM	Just found some more stuff to build off of. (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20061027a) Epic Extra Invocation should be easy to put in, and Epic Eldritch Blast can be changed to Epic Breath Weapon can be adapted with relative ease.
