Feat Descriptions

Adult Ideal [Ideal]
You've spent a lot of time studying and living a particular draconic philosophy.
Prerequisites: Character level 15th, ability to use Juvenile ideal powers from an Ideal.
Benefit: Choose one draconic Ideal for which you have the ability to use Juvenile ideal powers.  You gain access to the Adult ideal power of that Ideal, with an Idealist level equal to 3/4 your character level, rounded down.  (Even if you achieve an Idealist level which would grant you a higher tier of ideal powers, you only gain the Adult power from this feat.)
Special: You may select this feat multiple times; each time, choose a different Ideal for which you have the ability to use Juvenile powers.

Draconic Substitution [Ideal]
You've learned to alter the energy type of your spells as you cast them to reflect your Ideal.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast a spell which does energy damage, ability to express an Ideal.
Benefit: You can alter the energy type of a spell you cast to match the Damage energy type of your expressed Ideal.  The spell's descriptor changes to the new energy type; for example, a fireball composed of cold energy is an evocation [cold] spell.  You can only use this feat if the Damage type of the Ideal you express is an energy type (for example, you cannot use this feat if you are expressing the Fang Dragon Ideal).
Special: This feat counts as the Energy Substitution feat for the purpose of meeting prerequisites, but does not count as a metamagic feat.
Note: If you have more than one Ideal expressed at a time, you choose any one applicable energy type when you use the feat.

Extra Powers [Ideal]
You have practiced using your powers more often than other Idealists.
Prerequisites: Idealist level 1st.
Benefit: You gain 3 additional daily uses of your ideal powers.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times, gaining 2 additional uses of your ideal powers each time.

Favored Ideal [Ideal]
There's a particular Ideal which resonates most closely with you.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of one or more Ideals.
Benefit: Choose an Ideal you know.  Whenever you express that Ideal, treat your Idealist level as one higher for that Ideal's powers; this virtual Idealist level increase does not grant you additional uses of your Ideal powers.  In addition, increase the save DC by +1 for each of that Ideal's powers.

Ideal Surge [Ideal]
Your philosophical studies include rigorous training on how to alter your physical nature.
Prerequisites: Favored Ideal, ability to use Juvenile ideal powers from Ideals you express.
Benefit: Whenever you express your Favored Ideal, your Constitution and Charisma each count as 4 points higher for the purposes of determining the benefits of your Breath and Scales class features.

Juvenile Ideal [Ideal]
You've spent enough time studying a particular draconic philosophy to unlock the next tier of abilities.
Prerequisites: Character level 9th, ability to use Wyrmling ideal powers from an Ideal.
Benefit: Choose one draconic Ideal for which you have the ability to use Wyrmling ideal powers.  You gain access to the Juvenile ideal power of that Ideal, with an Idealist level equal to 2/3 your character level, rounded down.  (Even if you achieve an Idealist level which would grant you a higher tier of ideal powers, you only gain the Juvenile power from this feat.)
Special: You may select this feat multiple times; each time, choose a different Ideal for which you have the ability to use Wyrmling powers.

Practiced Idealist [Ideal]
You keep training with your Ideals even when learning other skills.
Prerequisites: Idealist level 1st.
Benefit: Your Idealist level increases by +4, up to a maximum equal to your Hit Dice.  This does not grant you access to new tiers of ideal powers beyond those to which you would normally have access.

Share Ideals [Ideal]
Your companion or familiar shares some of your philosophy.
Prerequisites: Ability to express an Ideal, animal companion or familiar
Benefit: Whenever your animal companion or familiar is within 5 feet of you, it gains the benefit of one of your expressed Ideals.  It gains a number of uses of ideal powers equal to its Charisma modifier (minimum 1), and its Idealist level for those ideal powers is equal to yours.

Sorcerous Idealist
Your racial spellcasting is more suited towards the draconic arts.
Prerequisites: Dragonmage level 1st, racial sorcerer spellcasting, dragonblood subtype
Benefit: You may replace your racial sorcerer spellcasting with dragonmage spellcasting, which stacks with your levels in Dragonmage.

Wyrmling Ideal [Ideal]
You've spent some time studying draconic philosophy.
Prerequisites: Character level 3rd.
Benefit: Choose one draconic Ideal.  You gain access to the Wyrmling ideal power of that Ideal, with an Idealist level equal to half your character level, rounded down.  (Even if you achieve an Idealist level which would grant you a higher tier of ideal powers, you only gain the Wyrmling power from this feat.)  In addition, you gain a +2 bonus to saves against effects of the Ideal's resistance type. You cannot select a templated Ideal with this feat.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times; each time, choose a different Ideal.
Special: If you have access to more than one Ideal from this feat, you must choose to express one Ideal at any given time.  You can choose a different Ideal to express at the beginning of each day.
