You can handle a variety of situations and get some sweet abilities depending on what dragon you chose for your totem. So, what's your totem dragon?Double Draconic Aura is only available at 12th or higher level. The feat appears in Dragon Magic.If you can get a race that boosts Str or Con, that would be good. Dragonborn Human is quite nice for this. I know, Dragonborn Water Orc is the favorite for creating a super-bruiser, but that would get a serious penalty to Cha. You might want Dragonborn Dwarf. +4 Con for -2 Dex and -2 Cha. THe Cha penalty isn't too bad... Doing a point buy, you can come out with a decent Cha (12 is good) and very nice Con. At least, I think so... Away from my Races of the Dragon book right now...Currently, my very own Dragon Shaman is functioning as the party tank. With a high Str and Con, he's the biggest and toughest member of the party. And, surprisingly, he has a higher Cha than everyone else except our Sor and is the face for the party... Go figure.But, with 32-point buy, a Dragonborn Dwarf could be like this...Str 16 (10 points)Dex 10 (4 points)Con 16 (4 points)Int 10 (2 points)Wis 10 (2 points)Cha 14 (10 points)At least, like I said, I think it could wind up like that. You're pretty well suited to melee combat, and can use your touch of vitality quite well. Throw in your Power aura and you can deal out decent damage. Currently, my Dragon Shaman wears a nice breastplate and a heavy shield (we're about 3rd-4th level) and has a very high AC.About Dragonborn, you get some nice bonuses for fighting dragons, and can choose to get a breath weapon (okay ability), wings, or dragon-like immunities (don't remember exactly what). But you also must listen when Bahamut calls you. And don't mess up, or you get hit with a really nasty curse that strips you of your dragonborn status, as well as probably killing you.</blockquote>
