BTW all, don't forget for you're characters posts in the Rogues Gallery I'm going to need to know what your characters were doing before they got on the boat, as well as what they are doing on the boat.

Oh it will be. Also, I don't even need to take Leadership, I just need Dragon Cohort. So I will effectively be 3 lvl 20 Characters (or ecl 20 anyway). WOO.

Does Dragon Cohort not cap the level of the dragon as leadership does? (I don't have the relevant book.)

It's ECL is considered 3 lower for the purposes of leadership.

Yes you can. I have always considered the breath weapon concept to be based off of a single breath weapon ability (or in the case of metallics, their duel abilities linked to each other.) In fact, I personally believe a creature with the Half Dragon Template added to itself twice could breath its one weapon, and then follow up with the other one with no rules infractions. the same thing would apply here.

And to go back to the Avoral question, thats how it will work yes.

Great. Thanks for taking the time to make it clear!

Question for our DM, how much GP would my Dragon cohort start out with?

I would say none, since it is a creature. but i dont know how it is with dragons. DM rules

Sadly, your Dragon won't be able to start with any gold. It's not because its a creature, but because Dragons keep Hordes, not belongings, so all your Dragon's wealth is going to end up staying at home.

Do you want me to wait until you go over Salimesh before I post him in the RG? Or do you want me to go ahead and start filling in a post?

Are we using the psionics - magic transparency rules? I had assumed so, but such assumptions are sometimes unwise.

Necro_Kinder[sblock=Paladin Mount]
Just my two cents on the Paladin Mount piece. It would seem that you intend on using your dragon mount quit often during combat. (Which is a good thing) With that mind set, I would propose the following recommendation to your current build:

Fighter 2 / Paladin 6 / Cavalier 10 / X 2.
(X Being whatever extra two class levels you wish to take. Probably paladin to increase your mounts effective level)

The Cavalier is a PrC that comes from the Complete Warrior and is an excellent PrC for those who wish to focus on the Paladin’s Special Mount. The PrC offers awesome damage bonuses on mounted charges and its class levels stacks with those of Paladins in determining your Special Mount. You also get two more feats from the Fighter levels at the cost of two Paladin levels. The only possible draw back is that you will loose out on your caster levels as the Cavalier does not give any. It really depends on how attached you are to your spells. I was really never impressed by them, personally.

I have no idea if you looked into it so I will just mention it and you can ignore it if you like. Check with Darimaus and see if you change some of your Dragon’s feats for others so that it can stand out from the rest of its kin. It is your ‘Special’ mount after all (See if it can take Improved Flight comes to mind). Also check into the pricing and see if the Bracers of Armor is a cheaper buy than the Mitheral Armor. Force armor is always better than metal armor. Finally, I know there are magical horse shoes that increase a mount’s speed and I would also think that there is a magical item out there that can increase a creature’s maneuverability. I would get those for your mount but change them into a necklace or something. Upgrading your mount’s movement and maneuverability is always a good thing.

Again just my two cents.[/sblock]
