[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 5972210, member: 78958"] You'd need to work with your DM a bit, but I imagine a lot of the stuff that's useful for Warlocks can be adapted easily for DFAs. Eldritch Theurge and Eldritch Disciple come to mind, as well as the arcane PrCs and feats usable by Warlocks (e.g. Charm Invocation-->Mindbender-->Mindsight Feat, or maybe even the Obtain Familiar feat). Why not go for a variation on Hellfire Warlock, even? There's a Hellfire Wyrm in MM2, after all... Furthermore, look into the general mechanics of the DFA class. You have: Breath weapons, which are (Su), so they can potentially benefit not only from e.g. metabreath feats and metabreath spells, but also from some stuff in the Tome of Magic that adresses (Su) abilities. Invocations, which are (Sp), so anything and everything to do with (Sp) abilities is fair game - there's quite a bit out there. Draconic stuff - go draconic feats, especially Draconic Aura. Natural Armor, fly speed etc. - everything that normally works with these (spells like Scintillating Scales or Wings of Air, feats like Improved NA or Improved Flight) will work. Make a note of general feats like Ability Focus (Breath Weapon) and Sudden Ability Focus, which can be very handy indeed. So while you'd need to homebrew a bit if you wanted more DFA material specificall, you can use the class's general mechanics and get some mileage out of existing rules material! [/QUOTE]
