[QUOTE="maggot, post: 2079797, member: 1005"] I'm not seeing how this is that overpowered. Even in the first version. Even for a cleric. You only increase caster level every two levels. Would you rather be a Cleric 10/Draconic Knight 10 and cast as a cleric 15 and shoot 10d8 bolts of energy 5 times a day, or would you rather be a cleric 20 who can cast 9th level spells 5+ times per day. I know which I would choose. The fact it requires BAB +7 to get into makes it very hard for pure clerics. Now for a paladin the levels of energy bolt replace smites, but the smites can be combined with melee damage and criticals. So you would have to get many levels in this PrC before it gets out of control. The earlies you can take this as a pure paladin is 7th, so a Paladin 7/Draconic Knight 10 can shoot five bolts of 10d8, but loses out on +10 on smites and some extra smites and some higher level spells and increasing his warhorse and increased turning ability and etc. I might tone the blast down to 1d6/level instead of 1d8. And I would remove the extra damage to since the PrC seem to be allied with dragons. [/QUOTE]
