Half-orc Dragon Disciple build


Advice


So, I'm entering the game at level 13 after my recent character joined the choir invisible. I've always wanted to try dragon disciple, so here's a barebones layout of what I've got.

Half-orc
Orc/Draconic Sorc 5/Dragon disciple 8
Sacred Tattoo (alternate trait)

BAB: 8
CMB: 17
CMD: 27

atks: +22 (+9 str, +5 nat attacks)
damage: +14, +19 on bite

STR 28
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 10
WIS 8
CHA 22

AC: dex 0, armor 6, nat armor 7 (4+3), 0 = 24

25,030 silken ceremonial +5
16,000 robe arcane heritage
30,000 potions of greater magic fang permanency (x3)
16,000 headband charisma +4
16,000 cloak resist +4

saves:
fort 12
refl 9
will 10

Bloodline Powers:
1. Claws
3. Draconic Resistances
9. Power of Giants
15.Wings (Arcane Heritage)

Feats:
1. Eschew Materials
3. Sorcerous Bloodstrike
5.
7. Improved Initiative
9.
10. Intimidating Prowess
11.
13. Quicken Spell

The reason there are so many feat gaps is I'm not sure what are good feat chains to take. I was considering the dimensional dervish or dragons style feat chains, but both are pretty expensive. The ones currently picked are the bonus feats from bloodline/DD. Don't have traits yet either.

I should mention the DM has house-ruled that the claws are permanent and not "per round" basis, so I'm definitely focusing on natural weapon style for melee.

As far as casting goes, I can't decide whether to go for the spell perfection route. It would certainly simplify my feat selection, but who knows.

Anyways, any help or critiques would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I chose Wings over Power of Giants in bloodlines, as while it seems like a great ability, as far as I know size bonuses wouldn't stack up with form of the dragon, and the natural armor bonus doesnt stack with any of what i've got already.


Eldritch heritage feats are near mandatory for DD builds since they boost strength and more further. Look at them and that will guide you. There is also a guide on DD in guide to class guides thread.


(I've read Oterisk's guide, most of his example builds all involve dips or more 'exotic' build ideas. I really want to just do 10 sorc/10 dd)

I forgot to mention I have one mythic tier. I was considering as an alternative to crossblooded, that I take eldritch heritage, then mythic eldritch heritage so that I get both powers simultaneously.

I'm not interested in doing draconic/orc with abyssal EH if you are suggesting that. Just doesn't seem to fit in lore wise, or murks the character's background.

The only thing that irks me about mythic EH is with claws houseruled as permanent, some of the powers are certainly redundant. The natural armor from orc bloodline doesn't stack with DD/sorc nat armor as far as I know either.

Overall, I would really prefer to avoid a situation that basically implies having 3 bloodlines or more.


Seems like you have a plan with sorc 10/ DD 10. I'm afraid I'm no help there as DD 10 is a trap in my experience. You can't get level 9 spells.all the goods that the class gives can be duplicated or done better with spells except attribute boosts (even though that too could be done but would never recommend it). The hit points are the main draw after DD4 in my experience.

Good luck, hope someone else is more helpful than I was.


That is a good point, so if I go 12 sorc/8 DD, I'll still get level 9 spells it seems. As I haven't gotten a ninth level yet, that sounds like a good idea.
