I'm looking at playing a Barb/Sorc/DD (for the flavor) and wondering why a sorcery based prestige class would have an Int boost instead of a Cha boost? Any thoughts?
The dragon diciple gets stats based on half dragon template, which is if i recall right +8 strength +2 con +2 charisma and +2 int! so this is why get an int boost, because its part of the template.

Well, that's what it was based on. The Pathfinder version is based on the 3.5 version. It only gives you +4 strength, +2 constitution and +2 intelligence. Instead of becoming a winged half-dragon, you become a winged almost half-dragon with the ability to turn in to a large dragon.
Yes, it would have made more sense to give a charisma boost.

I think it would make more sense to give charisma on top of the existing boost it currently has. I mean dragon disciple is one of the weakest class out there. There are only 3 features of this class that is good. First one is stats boost, second is blood of dragon that counts your levels for bloodlind power, which lead to the third one, one of the fastest movement speed. 90ft is faster than any other class out that, combine with flyby attack would had make it dangerous. However, not many GM allow monster feats, also the lost on both BAB and caster levels made it too rounded but getting nowhere, which is worse than bard. So the very least DD should give +2 to Cha as well so DD can have boost from both casters stats and fighting stats.

Wow... 4 year necro. Can someone give SiuoL a cigar cuz I think that's a record. Anyway, regarding the topic, a DD would likely already have a significant focus on Cha. The point of the bonuses seem more along the lines of rounding out their short suits as opposed to boosting their primary stat. So it does sort of make sense that they get boosts in their "peripheral" stats.
