alt. Dragon Disciple PrC?

[DeBhaal]

In a recent thread( http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=19629&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 ) Buddha_The_DM revamped the Half-Dragon Template. Towards the end of the Thread was commentary about the Dragon Disciple PrC.

What I would like to know is if any work has been done on this, or if its still on the drawing board.

I had a couple ideas ...
Instead of giving the Sorc or Bard a bonus spell every level except for 3rd, 7th, and 10th. Why not give them their own Spell Proggression, up to 4th or 5th level, from a limited list. Another idea I had was giving a differing list depending on the dragon type you choose.

Any info would be nice!

I haven't done any work on it as of yet. I'm still open to any ideas that anyone may have.

Do you mean 4th or 5th level spells?

Yeah, thats what I ment, I was somewhat in a hurry, and didnt proofread it correctly.

Do you happen to have ideas on it? Or anyone else for that fact, Opinions, complaints, wants, whatever!!

I'm at a small loss as how to handle granting ability score bonuses like the original template does.

Would taking the Highest stat boost and dividing it by half and giving equal increments as the Original PrC does it and give half the other bonuses gained in the leveling, and the remainder in the Dragon Apotheosis
e.g. for the Stat increases, use the Gold Dragon from your Alt.Half-Dragon Templates
1. +1 Str
2. +2 Cha
3. +2 Str
4. +2 Wis
5.
6. +2 Str
7. +2 Int
8.
9. +2Con
10. +5 Str, +2 Cha, +2 Wis, +2 Int, +2 Con

Thats an example of what I mean, but it does look a little on the strong side.

It would be less for the other Dragon Bases, except for the Epic Dragon Bases of course.

How does that look?

 

[Buddha the DM]

That seems good, but I'd make the Bonus at Level 1 a +2 to Str instead of +1, and at level 10 drop the Str bonus to +4.

 

[DeBhaal]

That works, also makes it look a little less powerful, if only because it doesnt say +5 in DA.

What about the Nat. Armor, should it stay +1 at 1st, 5th, 8th and 10th?
Or should we try something along the lines of:
1.
2. Nat.Armor +1
3.
4. Nat.Armor +1
5.
6. Nat.Armor +1
7.
8. Nat.ARmor +1
9.
10. Nat.Armor +3

I was also wondering about Breath Weapon, I was thinking it goes to the Full power at Dragon Apotheosis, then can raise higher beyond that based on HD rather than the Levels.

What do you think?

 

[Buddha the DM]

The second option is better. Remember there will most likely wind up being 22 seperate variations of the Dragon Disciple PrC now.

 

[DeBhaal]

I agree with the Nat.Armor progression, it is better.

Thats the bad thing about re working it to give the DRagon Disciples more choice, there will be a lot more tables and stuff, but it doesnt have to be 22 different ones, we can group them so that the ones that have alike tables all use the same one, make it abit easier.

How likely is it that I can get mroe input on this?! From a couple more people at least. If nothing more than for balance reasons.

 

[Buddha the DM]

Well I see no real need for there to be 22 seperate copies of the BAB & Save Progessions. One set for all should suffice.
