Dragonfire Adept - did D&D need another breath weapon class?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this class is basically "Hey, people like the Warlock and the Dragon Shaman - let's combine the both into one kewl package!"

...not to mention that we now have two base classes and at least one prestige class that has a breath weapon.

Enough with appeasing the dragon fanboys already, I say...

Yeah! Next they'll be wanting the word DRAGON in the title of D&D! Sheesh, can't they ever be satisfied?

Damn straight! Where are all the Dungeon classes? You know, Dungeon Disciple, Dungeon Shaman, Dungeonfire Adept...

...seriously though, I know this is WotC's "Year of the Dragon" and all, but sheesh...

P.S. I don't have Races of the Dragon, I assume there are a couple more breath weapon classes in there too?

Dungeon Delver (Complete Adventurer)?

And really, there aren't enough dungeon crawls out there...

Really the best part of the Dungeon Disciple is when you get level 10 and pick up the Half Dungeon template.

One prestige class. So, 4 classes that have a single power the same out of like a thousand classes is too much?

*shrugs* Hey I don't mind breath weapon attacks. I mean it's no like dragons have a monopoly on it.

I'm sure one of my friends will be thrilled about it. Personally, I think I'd prefer the Warlock version than the aura version. Kinda like the idea of variant Warlocks under different themes. Then again I'm a huge fan of variant base classes, so...

 

[Nightfall]

Variant base classes can be fun, provided they are a little different from the last ones. Probably why I don't like Favored Souls but do like Mystics.

Mystic?
