[My Name is Immaterial]

Huh, I read there wasn't prestige classes in 5e...

There aren't, by Core. But I accept Unearthed Arcana and Homebrew, so there are prestige classes.

Yeah...I could have taken it, but I messed up my build by taking a feat in this last level-I don't have enough DEX to meet the requirements. Oh well.

You can change your choices. You haven't actually used that feat yet, so I'm okay with you dropping it, or retraining it.

[Dwarmin]

Alright, I made the changes-no more feat, just stat points. Now I just have to find the special runes to 'unlock' the class...it seems like the sort of thing that almost requires a side quest. And GM support.

It really does fit me though, since I have always envisioned Johanna as a stonecarver.

[TheBiggerFish]

Right.  I have computer access.
Building a prestige class here I go...


Why the SPORK...


Right.  I'm working from the Pathfinder version, not the 3.5 version.

Well, as the GM, I'm supporting you.

Under further analysis, your Dragon bloodline gives you a lot of stuff that Dragon Disciple would give you, like wings, and a draconic aura. If you'd like to make a prestige class, please do so, but keep in mind that you'll get a lot of the stuff later on.

[TheBiggerFish]

I will go compare feature lists, then.


Things missing:
Blindsense, but that's from Pathfinder.  I think.
Breath weapon.
Natural weaponry (cannot have too many backups, also claws are awesome)
Actually transforming into a dragon.  Actually, is that on the sorcerer spell list?
E:Sorta.

More hitdice. (Sort of kind of solved by the polymorph thing, except I bet dragons have too much CR.  This is kind of the thing the GM needs to tell me at this point...)

[FelixSparks]

Well, if I do take it, I know my level 2 spell. Agnazzar's Scorcher.

[TheBiggerFish]

...So I have a question.  Well, really, at least five, but still.
If someone's polymorphed into a creature that can cast spells, can they cast spells?
How is "creature that can cast spells" defined?
Can you self-target with polymorph?
If you self-target with polymorph, would you need to keep making saves to maintain the polymorph?
If you self-target with polymorph, can you end the polymorph yourself?
What's the CR of dragons, just generally on age/size/whatever determining factor?


...Actually, this sounds like a question or four for the D&D stackexchange site...

That's a definite 'maybe', I suppose.

Or, as this would make more sense ICly, maybe I could learn Pathfinder's form of the dragon spell.

[FelixSparks]

I think I WILL go Eldritch Knight. Having some spells in my back pocket would be HILARIOUS.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Now everyone is a caster!

[FelixSparks]

Hmmm... Don't get level 2 spells until level 7 though....That's kind of annoying...

Hey, I am (still) kind of wondering about this.


Your rule, I suppose, but I kind of want, because character development, the ability to dragon-form at some point.


Also, here's the spell I'm talking about.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I can work up a spell to get something like that. Stay tuned.

[TheBiggerFish]

Staying tuned.

[My Name is Immaterial]

From what I've determined, after perusing the DMG, is that the best thing to do is to break this up into multiple spells. If I was to package it all up into one spell, it'd be a pretty high level spell. Anyway, how do they look?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dragonbreath:
3rd-level evocation

Casting time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (the tooth of a respectively colored dragon)
Duration: Instantaneous

Choose a color of dragon. Half-dragons, Dragonborn and Dragon Bloodline Sorcerers must choose their respective color. You use a breath weapon as the respectively colored wyrmling. Substitute your own save DCs for the respective DCs.

Dragonclaws:
3rd-level transmutation

Casting time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (the claw of a dragon)
Duration: 1 hour

You gain two natural weapons for duration of the spell; a 2d10 bite attack and a 2d6 claw attack. In addition, you gain the Multiattack action, where you may attack three times; once with the bite attack and twice with the claws. You may only use the Multiattack action to attack with them. You are considered proficient in these natural weapons for the duration of the spell. The spells ends when you resolve the attacks granted by Multiattack.

I'd think that there is a Blindsense spell somewhere, but since Rogues and possibly Transmutation Wizards have access to it, I'd figure that they want to restrict it.

((By the way, are the prices in the PDF there as normal for this kind of stuff?))

Those prices are what you should be paying, given normal conditions. However, certain situations may cause prices to be higher than normal. On top of that, merchants will often quote a price higher than the value of the item they are selling. Because of this, they are usually open to haggling.
