[QUOTE="Cameron, post: 3632505, member: 52735"] 1. As was clarified by the DM, he is Dragonborn, which is a LA+0 race. It is legal. 2. Mounts can be bought, or in this case, given as an RP perk. No feat needed. It is legal. 3. As a 5th level Sorcerer, he has access to 2nd level spells, which include, amongst other things: Touch of Idiocy (1d6 penalty to Int, Wis and Cha, can't go below 1), and Shivering Touch aka "Dragonkiller" (3d6 damage to Dex). Both of which he can channel through his familiar. The familiar doesn't even have to hit with a bite. It just has to succeed on a touch attack to deliver it. The bite is actually making it harder for the pet to deliver the spell as it has to be a successful attack to discharge it. It is not only legal, he is actually neutering the ability. So, as far as I can see, all your suspicions are unfounded. It seems that this is a player that knows his way around his feats, equipment, spells and abilities, and he is joining a group that is familiar with none of the above. Instead of trying to find out how he did it and learn from it, the group whines and whinges and tries to go behind his back and ask others in the hope of tripping him up and then collectively beating on him because, hey, they are *right*! As for destroying games... Well, I wouldn't be surprised. Put a clued up science guy in front of someone that has never heard of fire, and you will see "magic" at work. [/QUOTE]
