[QUOTE="Sidekick, post: 3591914, member: 13946"] Well when I first took the class the only reason I did so is because it looked interesting and, seeing as I spend most of my time DMing I wanted to give a new class a play-test. The Dragon Shaman, from what I've seen playing one is one of those classes that doesn't look too great on paper but frankly is very very handy at the table. Fast Healing for everyone in the party who;s injured? that is not to be sneezed at, nor is standing at the front and taking a bit of damage - you'd be amazed how much that 2hp energy Aura helps take down bad-guys faster. As for the breath weapon, meh. I do much more damage with my greatsword, the thing is it's another option and gives me a ranged weapon capability (30ft lines are rather good after all). Also most/all of the people I play with (incuding myself) are very much social, relaxed gamers who play for the RP, excitement & haning with their friends. There's no-one trying to 'win' by twinking out their character, so I'm finding that the dragon shaman is plenty strong in the combat department... Nifft - Ability Focus and those fey feats will be looked at for sure. No-ones got Races of Dragon so engtangling breath (as awesome as it does sound) is out :( [/QUOTE]
