Not exactly. It's just an exercise. I posted it here because folks that read this board can usually point out flaws and provide better suggestions.

What's the actual goal of the build? That'd quite help with providing useful feedback.

It needs more sharn.

Let's see... Dragon Wild Shape in 3.5 is an Epic feat, so you may not get away with the Draconomicon version.  Other than that, this is very interesting.  :)

Though, you can do the same thing as an Illithid Savant.  Lol.

Wait, I didn't get that - I rechecked the Draconomicon version and I fulfill all the requirements at level 12 - what's the problem?

Illithid savant, damn, missed that :(

There's a more recent version of the Dragon Wild Shape feat; however, it's Epic.  And since it does almost exactly the same thing as the Draconomicon version, I think it's supposed to supersede it.

A-ha, that makes sense. Let's hope that my DMs don't find out about this :P

I'd rather hope your DM doesn't notice Spellstitched isn't a PC allowed template.

But at least you're using Ur-Priest to obtain 9th level spells even with Phrenic's LA.

It does say in the description that you can spellstich yourself, but the template is not really essential to the build; just a way to get more arcane casting.

Spellstitched has no specific LA, but costs XP (and lots of it)!  I see it as an exception to the "LA- means not for PCs" rule.
