It seems to be everybodies least favorite class, while bringing the most to the game. Designwise is sort of an odd mix of the Marshall and the Warlock (using the breathweapon as an Elritch blast analogue.) While this does step on the Marshalls toes, the Marshal seems to be an abandoned class, it's only in the minis handbook and recieved no support in CW or PHBII. Flavorwise it's inline with the various dragon classes, and is most similar to the Dragon Samurai. It's not a mainstream psuedo-europe sort of class, but it does feel very believable to me. And I gotta think that every kobold tribe has a few of these guys. Eberron-wise, Argonessen barbarian tribes is about the only place that makes sense, but it makes a lot of sense there. What makes the class cool in my mind is two things. One, he provides great party support while still having his own things to do, and he can greatly extend a parties chance of surviving many encounters a day with his 'Free healing up to 1/2 hp' ability. Two, I finally have a use for all those cool metabreath feats from the Draconomicon.</blockquote>
