Hopefully I didn't post anything that has already been posted but my request seems somewhat original to me so thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.
Also if it's not to much trouble I would be eternally greatful if you could help with a build for a friend of mine, he is a Half-Black Dragon Fighter...
P.S. ECL is 7
If your heading for Master of Many Forms (MoMF) Bible http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=639448 and read there... they have everything you need
Master of Many Forms (MoMF) are fairly standard... here's a link.
From your PrC suggestion, I'm guessing the books are at least Core+Completes. Any campaign details would be appropriate.
The half dragon thing is kinda an automatic thing for his build though so any feats combos that can help him be more of a threat in an overpowered world would be most appreciated, and the momf bible is very helpful so thanks for that.
The fighter is a more intelligent and coniving character, that is particularly anti-mage in combat.
Apart from that, half dragons get a sizable strength modifier, so he should probably try to maximize the benefits of it. I have had players who did very well with the halfdragon template once they got some levels under their belt.
As for the druid, don't have to optimize much, especially with master of many forms, its auto-nice.
Dragon Breath[General](Races of the Dragon)Prerequisite: Half-dragon, 6 HD, breath weapon.
Benefit: You can use your breath weapon every 1d4 rounds.
Normal: A half-dragon's breath weapon can only be used once per day.
also these help:
it would be good if the 1/2 Dragon character were Large(Goliath or 1/2 Giant should also qualify), that way he could have Wings.... if you still want wings... it will take 2 feats to get flight
for breath weapons:
Entangling Exhalation[Breath](Races of the Dragon)Prerequisite: Dragonblood subtype, breath weapon.
Benefit: When you use your breath weapon, you can choose to enmesh all creatures in its area instead of producing its normal effect. Your breath weapon deals only half its normal damage; however, any creature that takes damage from your breath weapon becomes entangled and takes an extra 1d6 points of damage, of the same energy type as normally dealt by your breath weapon, each round at the start of your turn. This effect lasts for 1d4 rounds.
If your breath weapon doesn't deal energy damage, creatures damaged by the initial breath are still entangled but don't take additional damage on later rounds.
Quicken Breath[Metabreath](Draconomicon)Prerequisite: Con 19, breath weapon.
Benefit: Using your breath weapon is a free action. When you use this feat, add +4 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.Normal: You cannot use this feat and the Maximize Breath feat on the same weapon at the same time.
Shape Breath[Metabreath](Draconomicon)Prerequisite: Con 13, breath weapon, size Small or larger.
Benefit: If you have a line-shaped breath weapon, you can opt to shape it into a cone. Likewise, if you have a cone-shaped breath weapon, you can shape it into a line. When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
Normal: Without this feat, the shape of your breath weapon is fixed.
Split Breath[Metabreath](Draconomicon)Prerequisite: Con 13, breath weapon, Shape Breath, size Small or larger.
Benefit: Your breath weapon retains its size and shape, but splits into two areas that you aim separately. Each portion deals half the damage the breath weapon normally deals or lasts half as long as the effect normally lasts. For example, an old silver dragon that uses this feat on its cold breath weapon produces two 50-foot cones of cold that deal 8d8 points of cold damage each. If the same dragon used this feat on its paralyzing gas breath weapon, it would produce two cones of gas, each of which could paralyze a creature for 1d3+4 rounds. You can aim the split breath effects so that their areas overlap. Creatures caught in the area of overlap are struck by both weapons and are affected twice, subject to all the normal rules for stacking magical effects.When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of to you must wait before using your breath weapon again.
:D
That is simple fun on a can
So yeah thanks for the ideas
and hopefully i can help out in some way some day.
Whats the easiest way for a half dragon character to gain wings, other than being large that is.
Revisiting this thread I have a new question

Not being a half-dragon and being a dragon disciple instead.
Not being a half-dragon and being a dragon disciple instead.
not helpful
The very simplest way, though, is to just be a large half-dragon, as they are bewinged automatically from my grasp of the RoD rules. As the RoD rules are the most recent and explicitly over-ride the older ones, this should work.
As for large-size, the fanged ring from... dragon magic, to keep it in the family. I think that's the book, and I think this should function, or ye olde permanency+enlarged person, if your subtype doesn't lock you out of that.
I don't think he meant to be harsh or impolite. My impulse is to guide you towards some of the races of the dragon feats, but to also seriously suggest that you might consider the dragonborn template instead.

Well the thing here is the character has akready been created I'm looking into the wings for a friend as an after thought.
I think half-dragons are still humanoids, they just get the dragonblooded subtype now. Am I incorrect?
nope they are full on dragon type(unfortunately) since there is a feat he could''ve taken as a to get wings from the dragonblood subtype
Fanged Ring, dragon magic, should do it. It's a little 3rd ed, but it's pretty reasonably priced, if a lil low.

Full dragons can take any feat that has the dragonblood subtype.
Is true, but we want to avoid wasting feats on things we can buy outside of Sigil.
Fanged Ring doesn't actually make you Large though, it gives you Improved Natural Attack and Improved Unarmed Strike, which leaves flight to Wings of Flying or a Phoenix Cloak. Having flight naturally also has the advantage of surviving in an anti-magic field and saving you 50,000 gold that you could be spending on something else if your build isn't feat intensive.
He has a Magebane Greatsword
a ring of silence
belt of enlarge person(houseruled to work on him)
that plus his class features
make him do 3d6 against divine spellcasters
and 6d6 against arcane casters 6d6+14 against damn near any arcane caster of his level at least i think so, plus the vicious strike class feature so if he readies his action to wait for them to cast a spell and hits them it does double damage.
