What do you think of Dragonfire Adepts?

[Jefe Bergenstein]

At root is the issue that their breath weapon doesn't recharge at all. That further presents the problem of how a metabreath would make that (nonexistent) recharge longer.

Treat the recharge as 1 round, since they can breathe every round. SO if he uses a clinging breath, he has to wait 2 rounds.

Honestly, compared to most other classes I think he'd still be weak past low levels. Its kind of like wringing your hands over a barking dog next door while being mauled by a rabid tiger.

Ranks up there with Brutal throw for giants and Practiced spellcaster for anything that can cast.

Practiced spellcaster is for hybrids which suck as is. Its a patch feat.

LOVE THEM! Very creative class. Nice take on the Warlock. It's niche, but so what?

The only change I make is to remove the natural armor bonus, and instead allow them to cast their Invocations in Light armor, like a Warlock.

It would be fun to play in a dragon-themed party:
- Paladin 4 / Sorc 1 / Dragon Disciple 10
- Dragonfire Adept
- Dragon Shaman
- Sorcerer with mostly [Draconic] feats

(We'd be a very good looking party. )

I actually was in a party like this once. We had
- Dragonwrought Kobold paladin
- Dragon feat sorcerer
- Dragon Shaman
- Half Dragon fighter

It turned out to be quite interested

Half-dragon kobold warrior is a good idea... no HD loss due to LA
