Archetypes to replace Prestige Classes pt.2: Dragon Disciple


Homebrew and House Rules


Just doing this to see if I can.

Dragons are the perfect mix of physical might and arcane power. Guess which base class would fit into that niche?

Dragon Disciple Magus

Spoiler:

Spellcasting
The Dragon Disciple can either get casting and spells known as a Bard, including using Charisma for casting, but using the Magus spell list, OR,

if he has levels in a different casting class a dragon disciple gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class he belonged to before gaining levels in the Archetype. He does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if he is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a dragon disciple, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

(2/3rd casting, doesn't get spells on the first and every 3rd level after)

This replaces standard Magus casting.

Blood of Dragons
A dragon disciple adds his level to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers gained from his bloodline. If the dragon disciple does not have levels of sorcerer, he instead gains bloodline powers of the Draconic bloodline, using his dragon disciple level as his sorcerer level to determine the bonuses gained. He must choose a dragon type upon gaining his first level in this class and that type must be the same as his sorcerer type.

Draconic Pool

The Dragon Disciple has no regular Arcane Pool. While using the first level bloodline power, he gets to use one Arcane Point for free every turn to use with his class abilities. Unused points disappear at the end of the turn.

Also, the natural weapons the Dragon Disciple Magus has count as one weapon for the purpose of enchanting it with his class abilities.

This ability modifies Arcane Pool.

Dragon Bite (Ex)
At 6nd level, whenever the dragon disciple uses his bloodline to grow claws, he also gains a bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d6 points of damage (1d4 if the dragon disciple is Small), plus 1–1/2 times the dragon disciple’s Strength modifier. This bite also deals 1d6 points of energy damage. The type of damage dealt is determined by the dragon disciple's bloodline.

This replaces the magus arcana at lvl6

That's what I've got so far.
