What do you guys think about this class?

[Zack2216]

I have created a racial pc class(basically a monster) that revolves around transforming into different dragons through the use of dragon genes at the expense of abililty points. The inspiration came from Breath of Fire 3. I was wondering how you guys would make this class evened out with the other pc classes.

First of this should be moved to the House Rules Forum if a moderator happens to see it. No biug deal, Morrus just likes to keep the right thread in the right folder.

How would you go about doing this? Would the character's stats be reduced as it turned into a Dragon? THat makes for one weak dragon.

I might suggest that it gainsthe abilites to turn parts of it's body into dragon parts (grow wing, talons, superior vision, scent through the nose) but only one at a time till certain levels. I'm not sure, just some random ideas. It does sound intrigueing though.

It seems like this class would be awfully limited as far as options go when compared to the other core classes.

Maybe make it a prestiege class?

A prestige class would work, but I'm not sure how well spaced out over 10 levels it would be. I was thinking of spacing everything out over 20 levels, but I guess it could be a 15 leve l prestige class. No reason we can't have more then ten levels. Prestige class is defiantly the way you want to go.

I was thinking about more along the lines of gaining breath weapons and stats being increased by different pecentages. as you would gain levels, you would go from dragon sizes medium to large to huge. But your ideas are valid.

I kinda like the idea, I could see it totally working as a neat PrC.
Much more imagination could be put into it, unlike the crappy Dragon Disciple.
You could get a Breath weapon then have it's damage and type increase and change as you gain levels.
It' wouldn't be very hard to make it a point based system too so every one with the class could be a little different, unlike the crappy cookie cutter Dragon Disciple.
Someone could grow dragonwings and fly really well, another might grow scales and hav great AC or DR, yet another might incease in size or grow claws, yet another person could have powerful firey cone dragon's breath, and another could breath diffrent kinds of dragon's breaths.
And then someone might have lots of those powers together but they just aren't as strong as they could be.
There are a lot of possiblities.

But, I do think this should be moved to House Rules.
