Ahh then that would make alot more sense.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!

I think you're a bit too concerned with other people's race choices.   :P

Not really, I just like things to make sense....like no Half Giant Giants or race combinations of two enemy deities. :teach

Hey, people change their minds all the time, who's to say they weren't created by Tiamat but then decided to switch teams and play for Bahamut? :P

Besides, the Half Giant thing is really 'Primordial Half-Giant', which is not really all that convoluted.

While I wait for the affiliations I went ahead and took the ACF that gives me auras.

Aye that's what I'd be curious about. Spawn of Tiamat are pretty much her personal soldiers, devout followers from birth type of thing. So I see something like that happening a pretty rare event(not impossible certainly). Even rarer than turning away from Tiamat would be turning to Bahamut. Would've probably been a good read.

But all this is irrelevant heh.

Heh, you're late :P

I would have thought turning away from one dragon god to another would be more common than to a humanoid god if you had a change of alignment.

Really all depends on character specfic circumstances I guess.

So, I like all my formulae too much to choose between which ones to prepare and which not to. I swapped the monster feats for Martial Stance and Extra Prepared Formula, but that only adds one extra, still leaving me with 2 unprepared formulae.

Is it worthwhile to keep the Child of Shadows stance to gain concealment round-to-round? I foresee myself moving around a lot, and with potentially two move actions, I can even take two 5-ft steps in a round to gain the concealment without provoking AoO's.

On the other hand, I may not even move all that much, or I may end up teleporting more than moving around, meaning Child of Shadow likely wouldn't trigger.

An extra formula to choose from could be very handy, especially since they all play off one another so well.

Thoughts?

That's ok. I think I'll drop the concealment for another prepared formula.

I am, still haven't decided on a 6th level... Pyroclastic dragon has a rather obvious drop point at 5. 7 would be cool but 6 gets you some mediocre SLAs (that I don't really plan on using anyway) so I might as well look for a class/prc to take up.

Could take levels in one of the Ritual prcs... Ritual Warrior, maybe?  Don't remember what you might qualify for.

You could go Monster of Legend or Paragon.

Neither offer anything I really want for a 1 level dip:
Paragon would be interesting after a few levels for the Larger than Life Greater Excelence which looks like it would boost my natural weapon damage by two sizes but I would need at least level 12 for that and the loss of flaws makes the build harder... I need Multiattack, Power Attack and Decievingly Innocent Form and would like Quicken Breath or Superior Unarmed Strike and Improved Unarmed strike.

Monster of legend does not inspire me at all, Legendary Skills are all fairly meh other than spell turning which is broken to hell and I would rather avoid abusing a homebrew class.


Current ideas:
Bloodfire Seeker (minor bloodfused ritual for +2 Attack/ Damage is awesome in a 1 level dip)
Wyrm Warrior (Nice abilities and I helped make the Ideals but redundant abilities (breath weapon etc) put me off)
Soul Eater (feat cost here but with 6 natural weapons the energy drain would add up rather fast.)

I would suggest against Wyrm Warrior since we've already got one and I'm also a formula user.  Other than that, go with whatever you want.  I didn't realize you just wanted a 1 level dip.   :P

Wyrm Warrior =/= Dragonheart Adept.

...crap.  Too many damn dragon homebrew classes.   :banghead

Yeah, Wyrm Warrior looks cool.  I'm not sure how great it would be just as a one level dip though.
