[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 2163642, member: 29252"] You're welcome. As I mentioned, it's a pretty straightforward application of the seed; the instructions are all laid out, it's just a matter of following them. Be wary of Anti-Magic Fields, Dispels, and Disjunctions, however, unless you can convince your DM to add an Ad-hock DCx2 Duration: Instant (Special: Must already be Permanent) modifier or something. Funny thing about Dragon Disciple - it has different characteristics for casters when the character is below level 20 than it does when the character is above level 20; Below 20, the lack of a caster progression is downright oppressive to spellcasters, as it really leaves them behind. Above level 20, however, that doesn't matter so much, as you aren't getting new spells from level advancement, nor new spell slots, so the bonus spells it provides are much more difficult to get any other way. Additionally, it has all of what are (usually) considered the more important class skills for a spellcaster - Knowledge (all, individually), Spellcraft, and Concentration. For an (effective) Sorceror 20, who isn't learning new spells from advancing as a sorceror (unlike a Wizard, who continues to gain spells), nor is gaining new spell slots (no caster gains spell slots without burning feats, improving ability scores, taking classes that add them, or making items that add them past 20th), the main price for taking DD is the lack of caster level increases.... and past 25th, about all that affects is spell durations and SR penetration checks.
