I know this has been done before, but this is my Dragonfire adept for PF. I didn't quite figure out the Apotheosis. I know that some people have tried to combine Adept and Dragon Shaman, but I would do an archetype for Dragon Shaman from this.

Draconic Heritage: At 1st level you gain Draconic Heritage as a bonus feat. The energy type from this determines the energy type of your base breath weapon.
Invocations: A dragonfire adept has a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and other abilities known as draconic invocations, which allow her to focus the draconic energy that suffuses her soul. A dragonfire adept can use any invocation she knows at will.
Breath Weapon (Su): At 1st level, you gain a breath weapon that you can use at will as a standard action. Each time you use your breath weapon, you can choose whether it takes the form of a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot line. This breath weapon deals 1d6 points of damage; a successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your class level + your Con modifier) halves the damage. As you gain levels, your breath weapon's damage increases every odd level. You are immune to the effect of your own breath weapon (but not to other breath weapons that produce similar effects, even those of other dragonfire adepts).At 10th level, your cone-shaped breath weapon's range doubles to 30 feet, and your line-shaped breath weapon's range doubles to 60 feet. At 20th level the range increases to 45/90ft.
Scales (Ex): At 2nd level, your skin becomes thick and scaly, granting you a +2 bonus to your natural armor. The scales can be of any color or metallic hue; they are often (but not always) of a draconic hue that matches your Draconic Heritage. This bonus improves to +3 at 8th level, to +4 at 13th level, and to +5 at 18th level. If you already have a natural armor bonus, use the higher of the two values.
Breath Effect: At 2nd, 6th, 10th. 14th, 18th, and 20th level, you can select one of the breath effects in Table : Dragonfire Adept Breath Effects for which you meet the minimum level prerequisite. These breath effects can alter your breath weapons damage type or area, or apply a condition to targets in place of damage. Each time you use your breath weapon, you can choose to apply any one breath effect that you know. The chosen effect either replaces the normal fire damage dealt by your breath weapon or replaces the standard area of your breath weapon. Some effects can be applied only to a cone-shaped breath weapon, and others only to a line-shaped breath weapon. You can't apply more than one breath effect to your breath weapon unless the effect specifically states otherwise. Also, you can't apply the same breath effect to your breath weapon in two consecutive rounds (though you still can use your normal fire breath weapon every round).
