[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 5334653, member: 83115"] Well, I'm not entirely certain at the moment. I'm not sure if what I'd like is realistic, or if I ended up gimping myself with the Monk class(I've been hearing they are pretty low on the scale.), but I'd like to have a relatively useful spellset, without becoming useless in melee. I'm not sure 5 level 1 spells will be useful by level 20 or not. I haven't played that high to know. If we're still going with the Dragon Disciple variant you gave me, Aidan would gain 1 bonus intelligence at the eighth DD level. (I believe you halved the ability bonuses in exchange for the bonus spells increasing spellcasting progression as a full caster class). That wouldn't really add too much to my ability to cast the spells, which is why I said having it keyed on intelligence would effectively make Aidan a non-caster. (As a note, these issues were one reason I had mentioned seeing about just slowly paying the LA for Half-Dragon over time, before I realized that would take away the ability to fly[As Aidan would need to be large to gain usable wings by RAW]) Basically, I want to make sure Aidan becomes MORE useful, not less over the growth of the game. >.> So far I don't think Aidan really did anything useful besides see the hydra before anyone else. A Gish would be nice, but it isn't strictly a necessity. [/QUOTE]
