[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 5655395, member: 97681"] Dewd, just because something has the word "dragon" in it, doesn't mean its gonna make you more dragony, or a better Sorcerer. You can bring all the fluff of a Draconic Dragonblooded Sorcerer/DragonDisciple to the table with only half of the suck on a simple Dragonblooded Sorcerer20 chassis. With regards to the guy who says you HAVE to PrC a Sorcerer, I counter this with "at what cost". I could spend 3 feats to get into Mage of the Arcane Order (commonly cited), which, if I'm not human, is all of my feats up to level 6, or I can grab some early power combos like Fell Draining + Practical Metamagic (Fell Draining) and pop off some 1st level Fell Draining Sonic Snaps and some 2nd level Fell Draining Magic Missiles. With careful spell preperation, you can overcome most of the lack of versatility. Its not that hard. Even skill points are a rough investment for a Sorcerer. You generally gotta keep your Concentration up, and its generally not a bad idea to keep ranks in Spellcraft. Well, that's all of your skill points/level unless you are human or have a +1 or higher Int (and Int isn't a real priority stat, unlike Cha, Con, and Dex). Other good skills include Bluff and crossclass ranks in UMD. If I have to amp up a whole bunch of knowledge skills or other misc skills like Profession: Gambler to qualify for PrCs, I'm either gonna detract from the stuff I want to do, or from the stuff I need. So yea, it sucks that you don't have any class abilities. Bummer. But you're a freakin spellcaster. You're best off focusing on that glorious glorious fact. Take abilities that are gonna make you better today rather than aiming for some pie in the sky PrCs. [/QUOTE]
