Dragon Disciple
Dragon Disciple is a class that represents a wielder of magic discovering and embracing a draconic heritage, eventually gaining some features of dragons. It is one of the more powerful classes due to dragon abilities, and although it is nominally for those who cast spells, many players have found it more useful for characters that focus on melee combat.

Level progression
As dragon disciple level increases, the character improves in base attack (BA), saving throws, and hit points (HP), with the latter made more dramatic since the hit die used to generate hit points is subject to the class' hit die increase. The character also gets a level-dependent armor class (AC) bonus from draconic armor, the ability to dragon breath, and bonuses to certain abilities at specific levels from dragon abilities.
