I  was checking a list of feat (ther are so many of them  )

What about "elemental focus" and "greater elemental focus" ? Is it a must have ?

Hello everyone !

First, I'm french and i'm not very good with english, i'll try my best so if there are some weird words or mistake, I apologise in advance

I'm actually playing DD 3.5 in the Rise of the RuneLord campain. My character will leave the party (his believes don't fit with some party members) and i'll create a new one.

I was thinking of having some fun with a Draconic Disciple and i'll need some advice if possible


What do you need to know :
- I'll strat at LvL 6
- only the "classic race" are available
- No multiclassing
- no character traits, unless I use a feat for it
- no predilection class bonus by leveling (the +1 for HP or skill per level)
- I've already rolls my stats (my best rolls in more than 15 years of rpg ^^)
18 - 17 - 16 - 14 - 12 - 12

Okay so, i've made some research of course, but here are my hesitations :

- Race
I think i'm going for human but i'm wondering if a half-orc could be cool as well

- Role & stats
In my party, we have a cleric of Sarenrae, a ranger with two weapons fighting, a warrior with a great sword and cleave feat, a sorcerer of thunder (djiin bloodline i think, or something like that)
I want to be a polyvalent character and have fun playing it. In that way, I'm going to assume a fighter/caster and not being one of them only.
That's why i choose to get twice +2 stats instead of the free feat, in order to get 20 in both Force and Charisma.
Is it wrong ?
I don't know if it's a feat starved class, and I'm not sure as well about DEX & CON, which one is more important in this role ?
Dex is like initiative, CA, interesting ability (acrobatic, fly, reflex...)

In this way, i was thinking of this repartition for my stats
FO 20 (18+2 human)
DEX 14 or 16 i don't know
CON same, 14 or 16
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 20 (17+2 human +1 4th lvl upgrade)

Which dragon color ?
In my mind, i was thinking of a character close to nastu in the Fairy Tail anime, so fire oriented with gold dragon (we have to be good characters).
Fire is it a good choise ? It's a very important choice and if many opponent ignore or resist fire, i'm in deep sh*** ^^
I don't want to go for lighting because my friend is already playing a lighting sorcerer.
And the thematic of cold or poison is less attractive to me. At least cold could be good, but you know, fire Nastu character should be fun to play

Feats :
Here i'm a little bit lost, there are so much, even if I know some of the best.
I was thinking about that :
Lvl 1 : power attack
Lvl 3 : thougness for more HP
Lvl 5 : magic strike (Idk is this is the correct name, but the feat which improve your weapon with free action)
Lvl 7 : Improved initiative (Bloodline feat) & ... Idk ^^

After that, here are the feat i consider :
improved initiative - combat caster (needed ?) - dodge (for more CA)
=> do I need some combat feats ? like combat expertise or weapon focus ?
=> is there some auto-include caster feat ?


Well, as you see, i've a lot of questions and it will be amazing to have your opinion or advice

Thanks a lots !!
