[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 9570549, member: 2067"] Except that's not the lore. Like, sure, you can add it, but you don't get anything FR-specific there if you're just overwriting the current setting with something you like better. FWIW, this subclass is thematically very similar to the 3e dracolyte prestige class in that its main power is getting a lil' dragon buddy you can fight alongside. That class's story was that dragon wyrmlings would sometimes accompany the devotees of dragon deities (the 3e PrC was a cleric-focused class) to gain worldly experience, and the dracolyte would serve as an ally and protector of the wyrmling. Almost makes me think hatchling dragon pet might work better as a paladin oath... Heh, swap the genie oath for a dracolyte oath and the dragon fighter for a genie fighter.... But anyway, the point being that it's not exactly central to FR or thematic of FR's big unique traits (like a deep history or the effect adventurers can have on the setting, which [I]is [/I]resonant in the actual PDK's story). It's new. If your goal is to give some local flavor, the PDK in this playtest doesn't do that. [/QUOTE]
