But felt an .. urge, a prediliction towards magic, which lead him to the city, to try to discover his roots. Plus the barbarian tribe he was from felt distinctly uneasy about magic, not so much exiling him as letting him know he should seek life experience elsewhere. While he was in the city he took up fighter training (because that's what he knew, fighting) and trained until he found some interesting information about his blood-line, and started doing some arcane rituals which brought on the changes of Dragon Disciple (because that's the flavor I/we chose to give to DD as to why and how it works). Of course, he's got no more than two levels in barbarian or fighter... and I see your point about convinence. Was it convinence that I did this? In some ways. I did want two more feats, and there was nothing stopping me. Could I make a good story as to why? I could and did! Ah HA! Nope, I dipped into fighter for two bonus feats. Ok, it’s almost the same, but different. Oh, and that character did not get the fast movement from barbarian, as the concept had him in full plate. Sure, I could have had just as good AC and kept the fast movement, however that wasn’t the story I wanted.  But you’re right about going on to whatever PrC I wanted.  I needed to fill 5 levels before I could get DD, and one of those five needed to be sorc. I didn’t want four full levels of barb nor did I want four full levels of fighter, I see both those possibilities as bland and unimaginative.Well, you can call anything unimaginative with enough justification.  The net result is still you saying YOU don’t like that type of imagination, so they can’t have it.  I said above I would have found four levels of barb or four of fighter to be unimaginative, but I would have let someone DO that if they wanted. I would have tried to talk them out of it, sure, in fact I have tried to talk pple out of doing just that type of thing. But that’s persuasion, not dictation. BTW< in all the best novel I’ve read fighters indeed DO wander off into the wilderness and become savage, or savages wander into the city to become civil. From a roleplaying perspective, IMO, a fighter who’d be unwilling to leave the city and discover savagery, or a barbarian who would distain leaving his tribe should… well.. stay in his tribe (or city). Those ppl shouldn’t become adventurers at all! They’re not interested in adventure anyhow.</blockquote>
