Stat prefs would be Cha, Str & Con, in that order, with Int, Wis and Dex being the "dump" stats, depending on the stat generation method and ultimate personality archetype.  He's amazingly charismatic, and a big and physically powerful man as well: though the youngest son of a leader, his attributes lead to high expectations that he'll rise to be a leader himself.  But there is a hitch- he is aware of his draconic heritage, and is thoroughly embracing it, so he armors himself and preferentially channels his spell energies into his BW rather than casting spells ( and the low-Int version of this PC only knows that he can breath lightning- he doesn't know he could actually cast spells.)  His relative lack of wisdom has led him to follow a martial path rather than an arcane one, which is part of why he insists on wearing armor and leading men into battle.  (Conflicted?  You could say that.)His pet?  A toad.Spell choice would be predominantly towards those without somatic components (there is a nice list in Dragon).At 2nd level, my PC would MC into Fighter (or Marshall, if allowed) and eventually take XWP for his weapon, Still Spell to expand his casting repertoire, and down the road, Practiced Spellcaster.  He'd also load up on Reserve feats as he progressed, esp. the 2 Force weapon ones and Storm Bolt.  He might take levels in a "channeling" PrCl, like Spellsword, but regardless of everything else, his primary class would remain Sorcerer over a 20 level progression.No, he would not take any levels in Dragon Shaman.  Where's the fun in that?OTOH, I could go ahead and build my Dex-build, polearm-flurrying, AoO nightmare Githzerai Monk/PsiWar/PrCl (Kensai? Pyrokineticist? Lucid Cenobite?)...</blockquote>
