[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 5092441, member: 83115"] Well, part of my plan was focusing my spell list on defensive type spells(probably taking some feats to flavor dragon-like, such as Draconic Breath from Complete Arcane[I'd be consulting HM on it before attempting to take it, obviously) so that the spells themselves can be converted into a breath weapon, as well as perhaps a reserve feat. As for the end game, I was looking more for magic to amplify Aidan's natural abilities without sacrificing TOO much spellcasting. The little plan I have in mind would leave Aidan with the equivalent of 18 sorcerer levels in casting. I haven't gotten around to poking at how much BAB I'd have, though. So, I guess the first thing on your list, possibly leaning a bit towards the third. I don't want Aidan focusing primarily on magic, but I do want it to be somewhat important to him in some respect. Importance of Saves/Armor/HD? Well, DD has d12's for HD, and with HM's houserule it seems incredibly well suited to most of my plan for Aidan's progress... greatly boosting his staying power in a fight. Saves... I don't want sleeped anymore... but by level 20, Aidan should be immune to sleep as a half-dragon anyway. Armor - I'd rather avoid getting hit too much, but I needn't be over the top. Aidan is still primarily a 'monk' in my basic desire for him. Edit: My current class progression plan: Monk 2/Sorcerer(whatevever gets me to 5 BAB)/Abjurant Champion 5/DD 10 Though, I just realized this plan has a fatal flaw: I won't get to BAB +5 with 3 sorcerer levels, which ruins that plan, so I will definitely need a bit of help, unless I can find a way to increase my BAB outside level progression(which isn't possible RAW) [/QUOTE]
