Relatively simple question about dragon disciples
When a Dragon Disciple goes through Dragon Apotheosis upon reaching level 10 and gains a size bonus, does he immediately explode through all of his armor/items he has on him?
My friend is playing and has this worry, and I was curious as to whether or not this could be avoided without metagaming.
Thanks!Last edited by The Inquisition; 2014-11-18 at 05:50 PM.

Re: Relatively simple question about dragon disciples
They don't gain a size increase.
Please use they/them/theirs when referring to me in the third person.

Re: Relatively simple question about dragon disciples
This... Is not like he "explodes" in a moment. This is more like a steady growth throughout the whole 10 levels, hence the bonuses to Strength and Constitution and whatnot. It's just that at 10th level he's large and burly enough to...
Waaait a sec.
Where in the Dragon Disciple class do you see a size change? The capstone just gives the Disciple a full half-dragon template, which says that the size is unchanged.

Re: Relatively simple question about dragon disciples
I apologize, he was talking about something else. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
EDIT: He was refering to the Gem Dragon Disciple, he was using this as his source http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/burne/o...n_Disciple.htmLast edited by The Inquisition; 2014-11-18 at 06:04 PM.

Re: Relatively simple question about dragon disciples
Thing is, you don't suddenly "ding" up a level and gain new powers. The fluff of leveling up is simply that all of the study, training, and preparation of the prior level crystalizes into new understanding and skills.
So, even if we are talking about a class that grants a size-up, you don't suddenly "poof" out of your armor all at once. In all likelihood, as Xerlith expresses, it's a gradual process. He'll notice his armor is getting tighter and tighter over time, then wake up one morning (i.e. after leveling up) and notice it no longer fits.
No exploding.My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.
Blue text means sarcasm. Purple text means evil. White text is invisible.
My signature got too big for its britches. So now it's over here!

π = 4
Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.
