It's very nice but has some problems:the first is that some Draconic Essences (the "heritage" that channel you towards a specific type of dragon such as umbral or red) on the d20pfsrd version are not present (such as theseGluttonous—Alignment: chaotic evil; Energy: fire; Breath Weapon: cone (1d6); Dragon Type: Races (linnorm). Compulsion: the draconic exemplar must make a Will save every time he encounters an animal or magical beast, and if he fails he must attempt to kill and eat it. Special: Replace any wing attacks gained from dracomorphosis with a tail slap primary natural attack that deals 1d6 points of damage (Medium-sized, adjusted as normal). He also does not gain fly speed from dracomorphosis and cannot gain the overland flight draconic gift. He instead gains the elemental affinity (water) Draconic gift at 1st level.Watchful—Alignment: neutral; Energy: electricity; Breath Weapon: cone (1d6); Dragon Type: time (outer). Compulsion: the draconic exemplar must make a Will save or ignore any combat encounter, preferring to watch and wait. She gains a new save at the end of each round she is attacked. She ignores this compulsion if a creature or effect would interfere with the natural temporal order. If it is anally doing so (e.g. casting slow or time stop, a time thief using a class ability, etc.), the draconic exemplar must make a Will save not to attack them. She can attempt a new save each round until successful.)Another just because these basic ones are missing, their upgrades are missing (like this oneLinnorm Freedom (Up) – The draconic exemplar can gain freedom of movement as the spell as an immediate action for a number of rounds each day equal to her draconic exemplar level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. The draconic exemplar can dismiss the effect as a free action. The Draconicexemplar must at least 11th level and have a linnorm dragon type to gain this draconic defense.)Another problem is the compulsion of various "heritages" are unfair: some are simply interpretive:Witty—Alignment: chaotic good; Energy: acid; Breath Weapon: line (1d6); Dragon Type: copper. Compulsion: the draconic exemplar must make a Will save to remain silent or speak seriously in tense situations.but others are really heavyDestructive—Alignment: chaotic evil; Energy: fire; Breath Weapon: cone (1d6); Dragon Type: red. Compulsion: the draconic exemplar must make a Will save to resist killing and mutilating an enemy he has engaged in battle, and to resist taking advantage of opportunities to hurt his enemies by destroying that which is precious to them.Devious—Alignment: chaotic evil; Energy: acid; Breath Weapon: line (1d6); Dragon Type: black. Compulsion: the draconic exemplar must make a Will save to openly share significant information and be truthful.I understand that many are because of the evil "race" but don't get in the way of play them when there is no reason to balance, because they are not stronger.The last problem (at least from my point of view as an optimizer and power player) is that many abilities are limited and not very powerful.To recap: if your friend doesn't like optimizing and/or his group isn't very focused on optimizing this class is fine but get the expanded manual (<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/211280/In-The-Company-of-Dragons-Expanded-PFRPG" target="_blank">In The Company of Dragons Expanded (PFRPG) - Rite Publishing | Pathfinder | Questhaven | In the Company of  | DriveThruRPG.com</a>), the version on d20pfsrd only uses the basic one which has about only 35-40 % of options.If your friend is an optimizer and his group is very much about optimizing then I can post my version of the standard dragons "paragon class" (chromatic, metallic, primal) which includes many variations (outer, planar, linnorm, esoteric , imperial) as archetypes.</blockquote>
