Here is a prestige class that I've been kicking around as a replacement to the Dragon Disciple for Sorcerers. The Dragon Disciple still exists for other classes. It's also made to go side by side with my expanded half-dragon template which I've included here as well. Included within the HotD file is a small update to the Draconic Bloodline to account for the other True Dragon types that Paizo has released.
The links work!
I am a bit tired now so maybe I miss something, but the only difference I see between HotD and classic Dragon Disciple is that Heir grants higher ability score boosts, more natural armor than DD and earlier Dragon Form with more uses at 10th level. So it seems to be just a better DD for a cost of extra feat and obligatory Draconic Sorcerer level.
Different ability scores for different dragons seem interesting but DD has them deliberately cut down from the half-dragon, which was intended as a template not a playable race (in fact James Jacobs specifically stated that it should be rarely applied to humanoid beings, instead being intended for non-humanoid monsters, such as dracolisk). Thus this should be a variant DD with the same ability boosts at the same levels with variations between ability score actually boosted (e.g. dragon color that you deem the most agile should apply the highest bonus to Dexterity instead of Strength, dragon deemed the most intellectual should favor Intelligence, etc.). Regardless of variable bonuses there should either be no bonus to Charisma or all dragon colors should grant the same bonus to Charisma to avoid too obvious choices.
