[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5426010, member: 85158"] Do not take the template, it cripples you by setting you back in hit points, base attack bonus, saves, and skills*. If you must play a half dragon, use the Dragon Disciple class, which transforms you into a half dragon at the end**. A Paladin 3/Sorcerer2/DD10 should do it. Prioritize Str and Con. Have 12 Int (bump up to 13 at level 4) so you can get Combat Expertise and Improved Trip later. Have a 12 or 14 in Cha. You will want to avoid negatives in Wis and Dex, but they are not too important. Spell wise... Hm. True Strike has no spell failure for casting in armor as it lacks somatic components. Other spells such as Shield and Enlarge Person are handy but you risk failure unless you Apply the Still Spell metamagic feat somehow. Fortunately, metamagic rods of it are cheap. By the way, you can follow your normal weapon attack sequence derived from your BAB with a natural weapon attack sequence if said natural weapons are not occupied, is holding something. You will want to take Multiattack to lessen the qttack penalty for doing his though. * A Half Dragon has a level adjustment of +3, which means it counts as taking up 3 of your 5 allotted levels. This is vey bad for your ability to do anything. **Acquiring the template via Dragon Disciple gets rid of that problem as you "pay off" the LA over the course of 10 levels. [/QUOTE]
