10-09-07, 06:38 PM I'm a little lost on how to give a dragon class levels. Mainly where do stop thier hit die advancement, and give them the class hit dice.
So you have the complete picture, I want to make a Blue Dragon Cleric/Unholy Ravager of Tiamat. I want the dragon to start in on the cleric class at Old age.
Do I just take away one the dragon's normal hit dice and replace it with a level of cleric's hit dice? What about the draconic abilities, do those get affected?

Any help is greatly appreciated.:confused:

Just take an Old Blue Dragon and give it cleric levels, exactly like you would a multiclassed PC (i.e., no 4 X skill points). Once the dragon has enough cleric levels, give it Unholy Ravager levels.
