[QUOTE="Orichin, post: 1885121, member: 25226"] Well, I was going to make a similar post to the other two. I too would allow the PrC as written. Dragons, when played right, simply cannot be hindered by any single PC in a group where the dragon is supposed to be a difficult fight (and how often do you throw the PC's against a gimp dragon :p ). Dragons are too smart, too powerful, and generally too mobile to allow the pc to hit them more than a few times before they either move and pelt them with spells and the dragon's trademarked Fiery Death by Breath Weapon, or just beat them into a pulp and eat them (a particular favorite of mine is the bite-n-toss followed with a spring attack, apply breath weapon to taste). After the player got sick of XP loss due to resurrections and losing xp on the dragon kill, I would allow him to write a new PrC that allows him more mobility or ranged attacks, more defensive capabilities, and a lot less (but with this other stuff, more consistent because it's longer lived) damage; but offer to allow him to trade the old prc for levels in the new one (maybe at a 2/3 ratio if he was stubborn and really fell behind) and say he suffered an epiphanny. And I'd take a look at that one closely. If a very specialized, very good dragonslayer starts killing off dragons, will that affect your campaign? [/QUOTE]
