[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6109606, member: 12460"] That's actually very creative and fits the history of elves in Eberron really well. Considering that there have been elves in the past who have dabbled with dragons (despite the fact most elves and dragons will now kill such progeny on sight), it is not entirely unreasonable that a half-dragon paragon might emerge, a character who is not quite a half-dragon, but bears many of the signs of draconic ancestry. At least one fix will be necessary though. Since your character does not have a breath weapon to enhance, let's just say that at 3rd-level of the half-dragon paragon class that you gain a breath weapon 2/day instead of 1/day. One warning, however: bear in mind that half-dragons are not looked upon kindly by either elves or dragons in general. They are seen by members of both races as abominations. As I said, most are killed upon sight, regardless of who they are or what they have done. Your character would not necessarily be a half-dragon, but the fact that your character more obviously carries dragon blood than a typical sorcerer might put your character in peril in certain situations. Assuming you are okay with this role-playing disadvantage (and I assure you, it will come into play at some point if the campaign continues long enough), then I accept your proposal. One other option is to swap the elf paragon wizard spellcasting level bonus for sorcerer spellcasting. The two classes are close enough in nature that I would not have a problem with this. This option would only grant 2 spellcasting levels, but it would not come with the same roleplaying disadvantage as the half-dragon paragon. I will leave the decision up to you. [/QUOTE]
