Dragon Disciple Prestige Class

A dragon disciple is different. he always suspected, but the flying dreams confirm it. The experience is so vivid and real that other dreams are as dusty cinders in comparison. Hurtling through the sky, unfettered by the earth, the dreamer exults in his beautifully scaled wings pulling him through the clouds. His senses are alive as never before, allowing him to smell, hear, and see with a terrible clarity no mere human can ever really comprehend. A volatile power burns in his lungs, a potency he knows he could unleash with a mere breath. It’s almost ... draconic.
It is known that certain powerful dragons can take humanoid form and even have humanoid lovers. Sometimes a child is born of this union, and every child of that child unto the thousandth generation claims a bit of dragon blood, be it ever so small. Usually, little comes of it, though mighty sorcerers occasionally credit their powers to draconic heritage. For some, however, dragon blood beckons irresistibly. First come the dreams. Many dismiss them as nothing more than wish fulfillment (or even nightmares), and that’s the end of it. But a few embrace the dreams, recognizing their allure as a promise. These become dragon disciples, who use their magical power as a catalyst to ignite their dragon blood, realizing its fullest potential.
Dragon disciples prefer a life of exploration to a cloistered existence. Most are sorcerers, but bards sometimes follow the path. Already adept at magic, many pursue adventure, especially if it furthers their goal of finding out more about their draconic heritage. All dragon disciples are drawn to areas known to harbor dragons.

Class Features
All the following are class features of the dragon disciple prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: No additional.
Bonus Spells: Dragon disciples gain bonus spells as they gain levels in this class, as if through having a high ability score. A bonus spell can be added to any level of spells the disciple already has the ability to cast. If a character has more than one spell casting class he must decide which class to add the bonus spell to. Once applied it can never be shifted.
Hit Dice Increase. The base hit die changes as per table 2. This is not retroactive.
Natural Armor: As the dragon disciple gains levels, he becomes more dragon like, developing tiny scales. This provides a natural AC bonus as indicated on Table 2. These bonuses do not stack.
Claws and bite: At 2nd level, the dragon disciple gains claw and bite attacks as shown below.

Table 3
Size Bite Damage Claw Damage
Small 1d4 1d3
Medium 1d6 1d4
Large 1d8 1d6


Ability Boost: As the dragon disciple gains levels, his ability scores increase as noted in Table 2. These increases do stack.
Breath Weapon: Beginning at 3rd level, the dragon disciple gains a breath weapon. The power and type are indicated on Table 1.
Grow (Enlargement): At 5th level, the dragon disciple’s size increases one step; from small to medium, or medium to large. (If already large or larger the dragon disciple does not grow) The change in size also affects the damage done by claw and bite attacks, and He gains a -1 AC penalty due to size.
Wings: At 9th level, the dragon disciples of Large size and above grow wings and can now fly at their normal speed, and average maneuverability.
Dragon Apotheosis: At 10th level, the dragon disciple fully realizes his draconic heritage and takes on the Half-dragon template. His breath weapon reaches full power and he gains 4 points of strength and 2 points of charisma. His natural armor bonus is increased to +4 and he acquires low-light vision, darkvision (60 ft. range), immunity to sleep and paralysis, and an additional immunity based on the dragon type.
