[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3983934, member: 17691"] Yeah, pretty good if a bit lopsided. You should have seen what I rolled with the 5d6 drop the lowest set though. :eek: I'm not entirely certain. A sorcerer is thematically appropriate though manipulating material components and voicing a spell's vocal components would be rather problematic for a pseudodragon; not to mention the oddity of having a familiar... The dragonfire adept is also thematically appropriate but it does have its problems, specifically that some of the class' special abilities are redundant when playing a dragon. The class' natural armor bonus, for instance, doesn't stack with the pseudodragon's and bonuses to sleep and paralysis saves don't mean much when one is already immune to those conditions. Some of the invocations are pretty sweet however; especially the ability to assume humanoid forms at 6th level. :] An alternative to the sorcerer is to use the psion class instead; no components to worry about and there's more flexibility in the use of its powers. The dragonfire adept could also be replaced with the warlock class; though I hate its bogus association with infernal powers. :mad: What do you think?I was leaning towards the latter, at least to start. I'll have to see how it develops in-game.As I see it, with their natural camouflage abilities, pseudodragons already have some measure of control over their coloration; I'd been toying with the idea of having my character effect subtle changes in hue based on its mood. :cool: [/QUOTE]
