Hey all,
I am a quite recent re-entrant to the P&P hobby, after a hiatus of about twenty years. I kinda stumbled along into Pathfinder, which I like a lot.
Now, one of the more intriguing (potentially) prestige classes is the Dragon Disciple.
Now to my question. Isn't the DD a bit generic to cover all the various kinds and colors of dragons? Has anybody ever thought about the stat-wise differences between, say, a Red DD and a Copper DD, apart from their breath weapon?
Copper Dragons are, for all I know, jokesters/tricksters with a dash of benign madness thrown in who are tailor-made to be played by Bard/Rogue types as DDs (INT, CHR, DEX heavy), while a Red DD is - to me - a Dark Paladin/Berserker type of PC (WIS, STR, CON heavy)...
Why should those vastly different dragons get the same abilities/feats as they progress through the levels? Has anybody ever attempted to put some variety into the DD, according to the color that is adopted?
I am very interested in getting some input on this.
