Remade the DD to be more of a pure melee PrC any thoughts of
its usefulness would be appreciated. :)

Dragon disciple

Hit die: d12

requirements:

BaB: 5
Race: Any nondragon (cannot already be a half-dragon except the half dragon you gain from this prc)
Feats: Power attack, Improved initiative
Languages: Draconic
Special: Choose your dragon variety when you take the first level
in this prc.

Class skills:
Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Escape artist, Gather information,
Knowledge(all skills taken individually), Listen, Proffesion,
Search, Speak language, Spot.

Skill points at each level: 4 + Int modifier

Class features:

Weapon and armor proficiency: Gain no new proficiency

Bonus feats: gain a bonus feat at 3rd, 6th and 9th level taken
from the fighter bonus feats with the addition of improved natural attack,
improved natural armor, improved breath weapon(came up with myself
thought it to give +2d8 dice to the breath), multiattack and improved flight.

Natural armor increase: At 1st, 4th and 7th level you start to look more
like a dragon. You gain small almost see-through scales that gets more
noticeable at higher levels, which increases your natural armor by 1 at each
of the 1st, 4th and 7th lvl.

Claws and Bite: At 2nd level a dragon disciple gains claw and bite attacks if
she does not already have them. Use the better one if already have them.
Small: Bite 1d4 Claw 1d3
Medium: Bite 1d6 Claw 1d4
Large: Bite 1d8 Claw 1d6
You are considered proficient with these attacks. When making a full atttack
you use your full BaB with bite and take a -5 penalty on the claws, the multi-attack
feat reduces this to -2.

Ability boosts:
As you become more like a dragon as you progress further into the PrC you gain
ability boosts as follows
2nd: +2 str
4th: +2 str
6th: +2 con
8th: +2 int
10th: +4 str, +2 cha

Breath weapon: At 3rd level, a dragon disciple gains a minor breath weapon.
Which type and size depends on what type of dragon you choose at 1st level
of the class. 3rd level damage is 2d8, 7th is 4d8 and 10th level is 6d8.
The DC of the breath weapon is 10 + class level + Con modifier. The line type
breath weapon is 5 ft high, 5 ft wide and 60 ft long. a cone shaped breath weapon is 30 feet long.

Line type: Black(acid), Blue(lightning), Brass(fire), Bronze(lightning) and Copper(acid)

Blindsense: At 5th level a Dragon disciple gains blindsense range 30ft, at 10th it increases to 60ft.
This gives ability to sense hidden and concealed creatures within its radius, you still take all penalties
in battle against them such as flat-footed and miss chance.

Wings: At 9th level, a dragon disciple grows a set of draconic wings. He may now fly at a speed equal to
his normal land speed times two, with average maneuverability.

Draconic apotheosis: At 10th level a dragon disciple fully realizes her draconic heritage and gains the
half dragon template(pg146 monster manual). His natural armor increases to +4 and she acquires low-light

Wrong subforum; this goes in homebrew.
You can make tables.
This doesn't seem so much like a fix as an entirely different class. The whole point of DD is someone with a magical connection to dragons through spontaneous casting gaining more draconic powers. This completely strips that out.

Well, OP does state that it's a prestige class, which also explains the entry requirements. In any case yes, this homebrew should go in the Homebrew forum.

@ OP: If you insert [PEACH] in the title (it stands for Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly) then people know from a glance what you're looking for.

Sorry did not see the homebrew part of the forum, is there a way to move it there or is it stuck in
the wrong part of town? And yeah I guess I could just rename it to Draconic warrior or smthn such.
Just always thought that DD is a bit odd with requiering casting level and giving melee bonuses,
know its reccomended to take a dip in caster to get it but still seems like odd design. :)

You can remake it in the Homebrew forum, or you can report your post to the moderators and ask them to move it for you.
