Dragon Disciple: Different Dragon Types

[Short Wart Cohort]

Hello,

Long-time player, first-time poster & GM here.

The Dragon Disciple archetype requires that "you are a kobold with the dragonscaled or spellscaled heritage, a dragon instinct barbarian, or a draconic bloodline sorcerer" to access it. Does anyone know if it is intended for a character to stick to a common dragon type when selecting this archetype?

For example, if a black-scaled kobold took the Dragon Disciple dedication feat, would they need to select "black dragon"? Or could they choose whatever dragon type they like, essentially becoming two different types of dragon (one black, and one their second selection)?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

It does not "require" any of those things, they just give you better avenues of access. As to the other question, I don't see anything linking your choice for DD to anything else except for the sorcerer's bloodline.

The description says

"Access: You are a kobold with the dragonscaled or spellscaled heritage, a dragon instinct barbarian, or a draconic bloodline sorcerer."
Is 'access' not the same as 'prerequisite'?

Nope! Dragon Disciple has the Uncommon tag, which Access allows characters to ignore. Any character can have DD with GM permission, like any other uncommon feat.

Alright - thank you both, this has cleared up my confusion.

The dedication mentions one type of damage determined by your bloodline, so I think you'd get to choose and I think it'd be pretty lame to restrict your choice between ancestry and class.

You can be an aberrant sorcerer that's part dragon so you should be able to be a black copper dragon sorcere.
