[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 2000908, member: 9249"] I remove the familiar and give Draconic Heritage and Eschew Materials for free at 1st, and a bonus Draconic feat at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th. I'm tempted to reduce their spells known at each level by one and make up a nine-spell list for each variety of dragon. (Spontaneous casting is always a result of an exotic heritage or deep connection to some otherworldly being-- which, if not a dragon, results in a Favored Soul or a Shugenja.) If Sorcerors want skills, they either don't use their Int as a dump stat or they Gestalt with a class that has good skill points. (I use Gestalt in games I run.) Metamagic imposes extra casting time, as usual, except Quicken Spell. Four spell levels is more than enough to compensate for the flexibility of spontaneous metamagic. edit: I don't think Sorcerors are weak. I think they're [i]bland[/i], which is worse. In my opinion, this gives them much more flavor, without unduly boosting their power level. The "dragon domain" would actually weaken them, but define them better-- which is a good tradeoff for the five bonus Draconic feats. [/QUOTE]
