I think I remember that in 3.0 the DD increased your size as well. That doesn't happen anymore. So... fun things you get... natural weapons to supplement your close range attacks, ability boosts, +15 bab total, the ability to cast enlarge person and some other spell on yourself (in armor if you do still spell). If you replace fighter with barbarian and cut out still spell, you can just take the asf for wearing a mithral breastplate or somesuch and then rage after casting spells. As a barbarian you get fly speed 40, otherwise it's 30. Interesting thing about flying is that I think you can make your attacks from 10 (15 enlarged) ft away while flying. You get a pretty lame breath weapon, but it's nice against low-level hordes I suppose. You get blindsense. You also get the coolness factor of being a dragon. [/QUOTE]
