Have you considered heavier armor? Dragonfire adepts don't really suffer from non proficiency penalties because they so rarely make attack rolls, and he doesn't seem to have any combat invocations. Might not jive with the nautical theme though.

I thought about heavier armor. I could go as far as mithral chain and a buckler or something. If I give him really heavy armor, the PC's will bull rush him off the ship.

You're using all of Dragon Magic?

Draconic Aura!! The best feat EVAR for a commander with both mooks and the Dragonblood subtype.

Have him take two Auras, in fact. Then, if he survives to 12th level, he should take Double Draconic Aura.

Ok, I traded his shaped breath effect for slow breath, traded his voidsense (blindsense) for Endure exposure so his crew is immune to his breath effects. The PCs are very mobility oriented with flyby attack, spring attack, etc, so slow will hurt them.

I looked at draconic auras. Two look appealing, power and energy shield. Shame you have to be 12th level to have them both active.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the dragonfire adept isn't proficient with any armour. On top of this, his invocations are subject to arcane spell failure. Better give him bracers of armour, amulet of natural armour, ring of protection etc. to boost his AC.

Edit: and why need armour when he can fly away? Just use the invocation that gives him dragonwings. You could even let him flee the scene when his mooks go down and make him a recurring villain.

Unfortunately he won't be flying away. The party is gestalt and includes a dragonfire adept/monk who can fly and a warlock scout who can fly, as well as a gold dragon with crazy fly speed, and a wizard with a giant eagle mount who is pretty fast when buffed.

The flying carpet is there primarily because there is one party member who can't fly, so I want him to get it as treasure.

Thanks for all the help. I probably won't need him until next week, so ideas are still welcome.
