Advice: 20th level character for one shot


Advice


This Memorial Day, I'm a player in a one-shot campaign. All I know is that we'll be facing a dragon with some kobold sidekicks. We get 25 point buy and standard WBL. I'm thinking of doing the following (rather crazy) build:

Dragon Disciple 9, Fighter 8, Sorcerer 1, Paladin 2

Half-Elf
Str 16 (+2 racial)
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 7
Wis 12
Cha 15

Half-Elf Skill Focus: Knowledge Planes
Traits: Indomitable Faith, Warrior of Old
Favored Classes: Fighter, Paladin (+1 hp for all)

Levels 1-5 skill: Knowledge: Arcana, Level 6 skill: Linguistics (for Draconic language)

1: So, Draconic Bloodline, Toughness
2: Fi (Two-Handed Archetype), Weapon Focus: Falchion
3: Fi, Power Attack, Eldritch Heritage: Abyssal (Claws)
4: Fi, +1 Strength
5: Fi, Weapon Specialization: Falchion, Furious Focus
6: Fi, Weapon Training: Heavy Blades
7: DD, Iron Will
8: DD, +1 Charisma, Blind-Fight
9: DD, Arcane Armor Training
10: DD
11: DD, Skill Focus: Use Magic Device, Improved Eldritch Heritage: Abyssal (Strength of the Abyss)
12: DD, +1 Strength
13: DD, Lightning Reflexes
14: DD, Improved Initiative
15: DD, Arcane Armor Mastery
16: Fi, +1 Strength, Improved Critical: Falchion
17: Fi, Flyby Attack
18: Fi, Greater Weapon Focus: Falchion
19: Pa, Critical Focus
20: Pa, +1 Strength

Sorcerer spells

0: Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Mending, Message, Prestidigitation, Read Magic, Resistance
1: Enlarge Person, Mage Armor, Protection from Evil, Shield, True Strike, Vanish
2: Invisibility, Mirror Image, Resist Energy, See Invisibility
3: Displacement, Fly, Haste

Gear: +5 Dragonkin Bane Adamantine Falchion, +5 Mithral Full Plate, Amulet of Natural Armor +5, Belt of Physical Perfection +6, Boots of Teleportation, Cloak of Resistance +5, Gloves of Dueling, Goz Mask, Handy Haversack, Headband of Mental Superiority (Use Magic Device, Fly, Spellcraft), Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone, Lesser Extend Metamagic Rod, Lesser Quicken Metamagic Rod, Ring of Freedom of Movement, Ring of Protection +5, Silver Smite Bracelet, Wand of Lead Blades, several scrolls of Divine Power (CL 18), several scrolls of Heal and Mass Heal, Manual of Bodily Health +4.

This setup leaves me with the following stats:

Str 38
Dex 20
Con 26
Int 15
Wis 18
Cha 22

HP: 309
AC: 43
Init: +11
Fort: +33
Ref: +23
Will: +30

Notable skills: Fly (25), Perception (19), Spellcraft (25), Use Magic Device (35)

Since we'll be going after the dragon, I believe I'll have time to cast buffs before we engage. I plan on using Lead Blades, Divine Power, extended Enlarge Person, extended Haste, See Invsibility, Mirror Image, Shield, and Protection from Evil. Once we engage, I'll use smite evil on the dragon, and power attack always. As near as I can tell, my stats against the dragon itself would be:

AC: 49
Fort: +33
Ref: +24
Will: +30

First attack: +55, 3d6 + 67 15-20/x2 + 2d6 (bane)
Other attacks: +50/+45/+40/+35, 3d6 + 68 15-20/x2 + 2d6 (bane)

I would also have a bite at +33, 1d8 + 49 20/x2, and 2 claws at +33, 1d8 + 24 20/x2 + 1d6 fire.

I think this will be very close damage wise to a straight Two-Handed Fighter, but his defense is considerably better, as is his versatility with the UMD of 35.

I still have ~54k left to spend, and I'm not really sure what else to spend it on. Any comments or suggestions about the build?
