#1 thaosyr23 Nov 03, 2008 13:04:09	thumbing through my copy of the dracronimcon I stumbled upon a sidebar i read before but never paid much attention to and I just knew i had to try: Dragons don't use spell components, especially expensive ones so i set down to work making a dragon focused on spellcasting and settled on a wyrming steel dragon with the loredrake option from DoE 3rd lvl casting for 4 hd, LA can be easily bought off. so far I've got Dragon 4/battle sorc 2(martial prof)/ Abjurant champion 5/ ? couple of questions: if i PAO to an older version of a steel dragon, do i keep my breath weapon (as per rules of the game article) lose it completly, or get the better BW? assuming i do keep my breath weapon, would i use the new age category or my original age category for the con drain effect? what should i use for the rest of the build, i was thinking knight phantom? but i would prefer not to lose anymore spellcasting. I would also prefer not to use the battle sorc if possible to get more spells known out of this build any really nice spells i just have to have that have expensive material components? all books allowed

#3 thaosyr23 Nov 04, 2008 10:21:46	ok then, that's nice. how about snowcasting/ all that cheese? 1: combat casting 3: snow casting 6: cold focus 9: greater cold focus 12: split ray 15: practial mm 18: some mm feat or i could concentrate more on metabreath feats, using them once an encounter and then casting on their (now very low thanks to con loss) fort saves. 1: combat casting 3: heighten breath 6: clinging breath 9: recover breath (so i can try to get 1 more off) 12: hover 15: shape breath 18: quicken breath oh why isn't there an empower breath feat

I ended up going Dragon 4/Stalwart sorc 1/ mindbender 1 then going MAO 2 to vastly improve my spell selection, followed by abj. champion 5 and sacred exorcist if we get that far feats: 1: Combat casting 1(flaw) Arcane prep 1(flaw): empower spell 3: Co op spell 6: Mindsight rest of party is: lvl 5 wiz/lvl 2 MAO God type gray elf(players first wizard, i'm helping him out alot) lvl 7 druid trying for planar shepard human (battle realm i think) and some crazy mix of classes mark of shadow elf w/ dark creature template. going for shadow hunter The party (characters and players) think i'm "Smokey the bugbear" bugbear 3/ sorc 4. I want to see how long I can keep up the charade. Should be pretty long, especially because mindsight complements my blindsense so much. items of note: custom item of continuous "Strength of true form" gloves shieldstone cavern (+1 caster lvl on abj. spells, how I qualified for MB w/ caster lvl 5) spellguard rings: one for the God, one for me whould anyone be interested in a CO diary: Dragon in Eberron?
