[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 1128015, member: 9254"] One of my players is starting a DD. IIRC, he's a human rogue 10/sorceror 2/DD1 right now. I'm going to use the 3.5 DD because it's a bit more coherent than the 3.0 one, not that it matters that much. For his purposes, DD will boost his combat abilities. His BAB won't really be better or worse than as a pure rogue but the armor, stat & sensory buffs are nice and will up his normal damage output and HPs. Sure, sneak attack will drop a few dice but they're running into more and more unsneakable targets so the base damage increase is good. The few bonus spells he'll pick up will give him a bit more flexibility but not really more power. The d12s and the natural armor will increase his ability & willingness to be in melee combat. It's definitely a flavor-rich class. There's power but it isn't exactly over the top. Personally, I like it much. It appeals to munchkins (Rar! I'm a half-dragon!) but doesn't really let you munch out. Personally, the half-dragon is a good class for melee-combat multiclassed sorcerors. Pure sorcerors of less than epic levels should probably forgoe it. [/QUOTE]
