[QUOTE="Ashtagon, post: 5687496, member: 72335"] Sanctum Spell (Tome and Blood) requires any other meta-magic feat as a prerequisite. It also only functions while you are within your designated sanctum area. In other words, leave your front door and you cease qualifying for your prestige class. This feat was never updated to 3.5 edition. Dragon's Blood Pool (Complete Mage site) has a prerequisite to work: "To gain the benefits of a dragonsblood pool, a creature must be able to spontaneously cast at least one spell of 2nd level or higher." I don't see a 1st level dread necro able to do that, except with the Sanctum Spell feat, which as noted, means he would only qualify while within his designated sanctum. Necropolitan (Libris Mortis) doesn't affect your feats. Not quite sure why this is in the build. However, the creature's type does change to undead, which would remove the dragon type. An oversight? dragonwrought (Races of the Dragon feat): Thsi feat, among other benefits, grants the dragon type. kobold (srd): A kobold character does not gain any bonus feats for its race. So a 1st level kobold has one feat. Child of Eberron (Dragons of Eberron draconic faith): Adds druid spells to the arcane spell list. However, "All true dragons have the potential to use arcane magic. Most have the ability to select spells from the cleric spell list and certain domains. This variant rule instead provides a dragon with a special ability based on the Sovereign archetype it chooses to follow. This special ability replaces the optional spell selection abilities a dragon normally possesses; as such, a silver dragon that adopts the child of Eberron archetype can no longer cast cleric spells or those from the Air, Good, Law, and Sun domains." I'm not at all sure what natural spell-casting ability this character is intended to be sacrificing. I honestly don't think he qualifies for the optional rule. Note that simply having the dragon type does not make a character a "true dragon" -- the wyvern (srd) is an example of such. So, the build has two feats specified, one of which requires any meta-magic feat as a prerequisite. How does a 1st level character get three feats? As far as I can tell, this character should only have one feat at 1st level. What have I missed? (For reference, no book listed has any official errata) tl;dr - even ignoring the alignment restrictions, the build fails on account of not having enough feats to walk and chew gum. Even ignoring the feat requirement too, it only qualifies for the prestige class while staying at home in bed with a mug of hot cocoa. But ignore the alignment, feat, and mobility restrictions, and this build absolutely rocks! [/QUOTE]
