Aerith has lived a sheltered life of academic and magical pursuits. Her family’s wealth has ensured that she has never known physical wants or hardships, and given her telekinetic powers, she has never had the need to experience physical exertion. Furthermore, using her actual strength for any purpose is seen by her as a sign as being a failure as a mage.

Dragonborn Sorceress:
Draconic Heritage:
A dragonborn has a base attack bonus equal to 3/4 her level, and her hit die is increased to a d8. At 1st level, she selects a type of dragon (see the table below) and gains Transformation as a bonus feat, but must select Dragon Transformation as the chosen form for her transformation, as well as the appropriate dragon type. This replaces her sorcerer bloodline.
Claws (Ex):
At 1st level, a dragonborn can grow a pair of claws as a free action. These claws are primary natural attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage (1d3 if the dragonborn is Small) plus the dragonborn's Strength modifier. At 5th level, these claws are considered magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming DR. At 7th level, the damage increases by one step to 1d6 points of damage (1d4 if Small). At 11th level, these claws also deal 1d6 points of energy damage. The type of damage dealt is determined by her dragon type.
Dragon Scales (Ex):
At 2nd level, 5th level, and every three levels thereafter, a dragonborn gains a +1 natural armor bonus that stacks with any existing natural armor she might possess. She also gains DR/magic equal to 1/2 her sorcerer level. This replaces tap chaos and arcane rift.
Draconic Resistance (Ex):
At 3rd level, the dragonborn gains resist 5 against her dragon's energy type. At 9th level, this increases to resist 10.
Dragon Bite (Ex):
At 3rd level, the dragonborn gains a bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d6 points of damage (1d4 if the dragonborn is Small), plus 1-1/2 times the dragonborn's Strength modifier. Upon reaching 11th level, this bite also deals 1d6 points of energy damage. The type of damage dealt is determined by her dragon type. This replaces wild empowerment.
Bonus Feat:
Instead of the normal options, the dragonborn may select Hybrid Transformation Improved Natural Armor, Improved Natural Attack, or Improved Transformation whenever she gains a bonus feat.
Draconic Might (Ex):
At 7th level, the dragonborn gains a +1 inherent bonus to her Strength score. This increases by another +1 for every four levels thereafter, to a maximum of +4 at 19th level. This replaces direct chaos.
Breath Weapon (Su):
At 9th level, the dragonborn gains a breath weapon that deals 1d6 points of energy damage per class level. Those caught in the area of the breath receive a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dragonborn's level + her Charisma modifier) for half damage. The shape of the breath weapon and the type of damage dealt is determined by her dragon type. After being used, the breath weapon cannot be used again for 1d4+1 rounds.
Blindsense (Ex):
At 12th level, the dragonborn gains blindsense with a range of 30 feet. At 20th level, this increases to 60 feet. This replaces wild fire.
Wings (Su):
At 15th level, leathery dragon wings grow from the dragonborn's back as a standard action, giving her a fly speed of 90 feet with average maneuverability. The dragonborn can dismiss the wings as a free action. This replaces chaotic flexibility.
Power of Wyrms (Su):
At 20th level, the dragonborn's heritage becomes manifest. She gains immunity to paralysis, sleep, and damage of her bloodline's energy type. This replaces true self.
Transformation:
- Medium size
- Base land speed becomes 40ft
- Bite attack (since you're a 3rd-level Dragonborn Sorcerer, this has become redundant)
- Darkvision 60ft
- Natural AC +2 (+1/5 level)
- Breath Weapon (1d8 damage per two levels; Reflex halves; usable every 1d4 rounds)
- Your ability scores, BAB, saving throws, etc are unchanged
- You become a quadruped (increased carrying capacity; +4 to CMD vs trip) and grow a tail
- You cannot wield weapons or shields but can fulfill somatic components and manipulate items
- You lose any armor/shield bonuses to AC. This includes the bonus from Unarmored Training.
Background:
Aerith is a young elf who has just recently come of age. Her family owns land in the outlying prefectures, with their wealth coming from crafting custom order magical items for nobility and wealthy merchants who seek to make their way up in society. Given the long lives of her people, they do their best to stay out of politics whenever possible, as the dizzying degree that humans plot, age and replace each other is just not worth keeping up with. Their reason for living among the humans rather than their own kind, is because of the family's predilection for pale skin and white hair indicating more than a bit of drow blood. Once they were a noble family, but when each new child was born as such, it became scandalous in Kyonin. Unknown to others, this family trait indicates a different, but no less shameful. Her family holds the taint of a black dragon’s lineage. Her family knew that if the truth was learned as to how the taint came about, fleeing might not be an option. As such, they left for Osirion to get as far from their former kin as possible.
She has left her family's estate to get involved in the dealings of the short-lived races. She says that her family sees it as a 'coming of age' event that will hopefully shape her into being a proper adult and quell any youthful wanderings that she would otherwise take up. In reality, the family’s wealth and prestige rests upon the arcane powers unlocked by their Draconic taint, which is hastened by facing danger and violence. It is their hope that by sending her on a dungeon crawl, she will be able to return home worthy of her name.
