[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 4603119, member: 72317"] You will have to apply feral before half-dragon, since feral can only be applied to humanoids/monstrous humanoids, while half-dragons can be applied to virtually any race. Your final type is dragon. Because both races grant natural weapons, see if your DM can lower the LA by 1 (according to savage species, natural weapons is worth +1LA), for a total LA of +3. I don't really recommend the excessive use of LA, too few HD makes you too fragile (your hp sucks - one lucky hit is all it takes to do you in, not to mention your crappy fort/will saves. If it is natural weapons you want, consider playing the totemist from magic of incarnum (that girallon soulmeld grants you 4 claw attacks). Throw in warforged for 2 more (slam and bite). Maybe tack on the dragonborn template if you want the breath weapon as well (it is still moderately useful at low levels). The enhancement bonuses you can grant your attacks should offset the loss of to-hit/damage from your lower str (which is really what that +12str amounts to). [/QUOTE]
