Dragon Disciple... for Half-Dragons?

[Raelik]

I'm running a game that has reached high-level (13), and I'm just thinking ahead for one of the NPCs that the group adventures with: A half-dragon/ogre. I just read the epic progression for dragon disciple on the WotC site, and wondered: Couldn't I turn this lvl 11-20 progression into its own lvl 1-10 Epic Prestige Class for true Half-Dragons? It appears to be a relatively simple matter. but I'm curious as to what pre-requisites I should set for it?

Interesting idea, but it will get the right attention in House Rules. I'll slide it over.

Welcome to the boards!

Heh, yeah, it probably would, wouldn't it? Thanks

Wow, I like this idea!

Prereqs, eh? Hmmm... Just to throw out an idea, maybe the character must have either BAB +21 (including epic attack bonus), three base saves at +12, ninth level spells or sneak attack +10d6. That keeps it pretty broad-based, allowing almost any class to get in pretty early in their epic career. (Oh, and the character must be a half-dragon to take it, of course.)

I luuuuuuv the idea of half-dragons, but hate the implementation. So, I made a weaker template (CR +2/LA +2), and then made a bunch of PrCs that ONLY half-dragons can take, to further enhance their draconic heritage:

there is also a PrC from Miniatures Handbook called Dragon Samarai that allows half-dragons and may be adaptable.

i don't know the specifics (cuz i was a player and not the DM) but if you read the last 10 posts or so in the story hour in my sig... we fought a half-dragon/half-drow with levels of sorc and i believe the DM may have added Dragon Disciple to his classes.

the reason i say this ... it had wings and a tail (normally Medium sized base monsters for a Half-Dragon template don't have wings only Large or greater) ..but Dragon Disciples are special and gain wings.
