Was just thinking about the Red Dragon Disciple PRC. They what, worship or attempt to emulate red dragons? Some of the most evil and destructive being on Faerun. Wouldnt that be kinda like saying "Hey I wanna be like Hitler"?
I know the class has no alignment restriction, it should though imo, so a good char can be a RDD. I get that, and can maybe see out of ignorance or extreme circumstances it is possible that a good char would be RDD. My question I pose to all is this, "How would a Disciple of a Red Dragon be viewed In Faerun?"
Wings arent in game, thank god, but what other physical characteristics are there? Scales? Breathing Fire? Do not worry though, Im not looking for a open season on RDD's just want some thought provoking conversation as the server is down.

Well personally i find them suspicious at least. Like:
''Here's the disciple, now where is his master? Is he coming too?''
LMAO
I mean i really like to play with RDD, but they are suspicious indeed. Btw, i used to play with a monk/soc/RDD on NWN1. He was crazy!!!

How would you even recognise them rpwise? I mean sure, if you saw them breathing fire, fine, thats a bit suspicious  But other than that, there no tell tale signs to say someone is a RDD ingame really. |

Right that's why I'm asking, I think it says the natural armor increase may be visible with some scales but I'm not sure how obvious they would be. So it would basically take someone professing they are one or seeing them breath fire or be completely immune to it with no other explaning magical protection. Still I don't think that would instantly equate to OMG YOU WORSHIP EVIL DRAGONS! But it would most definitely create questions. |

Well,
I PNP, the PrC is not limited to Red Dragons. You can actually pick your dragon color and it makes for an amazing range of PrC's. I know that we only have RDDs on the server, but it could possibly be RPed that you are from another dragon type. Don't gold dragons breathe fire too?

well, after checking them out in the DMG, a dragon disciple is someone who had a dragon ancestor. it has nothing to do with who they worship. the reason they have to take a spell casting class as as prerequisite is because they "use their magical power as a catalyst to ignite their dragon blood." that's where the scales and wings come from. i would also assume that the scales are clearly visible.
so from that, it seems that the only restriction that would make sense is that they need as many caster levels as RDD levels, as the magical powers are what activate the dragon blood.
now, as for how the populace would view them? i would have to say the same as the parent dragon, only not as strong. and that is only for those who have never heard of the character.

I played for a while on another server and there were several players with RDD lvls that rpd it differently....spell choice can help a bit here too....cone of cold=white dragon breath attack....acid splash and then Mestils at lvl to rp black....all kinds of things...but yes...the scales should be rather visible...in my mind anyway
and I do beleive that I read somewhere that a dragon desciple gets hi/her power from the draconic blood that grants them there spells as well

Rather than assuming, how about we get the actual facts instead Does the DMG say RDD's have visible scales? If yes, then ok, they have visible scales. If no, dont just assume they do We need to deal in facts if you are going to use it in rp. |

from the DMG: "At 1st, 4th, and 7th level, a dragon disciple becomes more draconic in appearance. His skin develops tiny iridescent scales, nearly invisible at first, but becoming more noticeable at higher levels."
then it tells the chart number then it says this: "As his skin thickens, a dragon disciple takes on more and more of his progenitor's physical aspect."
so there ya go. it even gives the levels of the changes.
