[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 9570111, member: 53176"] I don't think the new PDK actually works beyond the "It's cooler than the old PDK!" reaction. It's kind of a mess, really. For starters, they half removed the old subclass leader role in order to give fighters a pet. It's not that fighters don't have room for a pet class, but this one still has some old leader baggage because the old PDK was a leader, and it kinda suffers for trying to do two things at once. Pick a lane, please. Secondly, its obviously themed to be a dragonrider, but you can't even begin to do that until level 7, which is like halfway through most campaigns. And naturally, the flying part is still heavily restricted until level 15. There has to be a better way to realize this particular fantasy. If the core story of the subclass doesn't come online until after most campaigns have ended, it's probably not meant to be. Thirdly, I've got to say it. Its kind of weird that you are taking a baby out to fight for you. Like did this have to be a [I]hatchling[/I]? I know wyrmlings have been fair game to fight for a long time. But this could have just as easily been some kind of spirit. I understand Drakewardens do basically the same thing, they summon a spirit that takes the shape of a Drake (which is technically something more like an animal than a true dragon anyway). So they can sidestep the issue. [/QUOTE]
