I'd say try to work in a way of obtaining the dragontype early so that you can get feats like Dragon Tail. But beyond that, looks good conceptually.

Getting your breath weapon once every 1D4 rounds instead of 1/day is worth a feat [RotD], if only for the utility. Too bad you only qualify for it rather late.

Tytalus - in fact, he doesn't qualify for it until 20th level, when he obtains the half-dragon template, which is the prerequisite for that feat.

Robilar's Gambit? It comes off Combat Reflexes, and you'll have plenty of HP and AC from natural armour boosts to counteract the penalty. What spells are you choosing?

How about:

Duskblade 3/Fighter 2/Dragon Disciple 10/Dragon Devotee 5

Maybe take dragonborn goliath, since you keep the powerful build IIRC.

why do you take 6 (!!!) levels of fighter before entering devotee??

why not try something like fighter 4 paladin 2 devotee 4 disciple 10

you would get all the ability bonusses you did get ... stilll get your 4 fighter bonus feats that you would get wout of the 6 levels of fighter (ok ... you'll lose one feet the one war or another) get one smite attempt per day AND you get your cha Mod on your saves ... sounds like a fair trade to me ...

You can't take Dragon Devotee if you have the dragon type, which Dragon Disciple 10 gets you. You'd also have some strange spellcasting (Duskblade 3+bonus spells, Sorcerer 2).

Dungeoncrasher.

You might want to check your build. IIRC, Dungeoncrasher requires you to give up two of your bonus feats, one at 4th and another at 6th.

No, you give up your 2nd and 6th level fighter feats.

Sorry about the slow response, I was at my hateful new job.

If I could get the dragon type early I'd love two, but the best I can do is two levels earlier, which then pushes back the dungeoncrasher progression.


Robilar's Gambit and Combat Reflexes could be good, though Goliath has a racial dex penalty, I'll think about it. As to spells, I have no real idea. Ones that are useful at high levels without needing a caster level.

DM, your build is nice, though the levels would have to be moved around. However, the only reason spellcasting is even in this build is to qualify for Dragon Disciple. I though, how can I turn Dragon Disciple into a fighter PrC, and this is what I came up with.

Yes, six levels of fighter is for dungeoncrasher, and it replaces the 2nd and 6th bonus feats.

I'd work on the build more tonight, but I'm exhausted. Sorry.

Well you already have Combat Reflexes in the build, and Robilar's is a good feat that needs no other prerequisites...

Oh yeah...I do, for Dungeoncrasher. I told you I was exhausted last night.

It has been added to the build.
