LOL - That info's been there for a while (easy 6 - 12 months). All I did was rearrange it a bit.
On closer inspection Dragon Shamans weren't as OP as I thought.
Of course they arent, i think the best ability they have is the fast healing when under half hp aura (which wont work while unconscious, so it loses a little power there)

In fact, wait a bit, and you'll find the extra info for Gem Dragons and others :D
Bonus dragons done.
Still think personally it should be restricted to Kobolds or Dragon-touched or somesuch… <grouch> <grouch>
Cant say i like the idea of race specific classes, even with the idea of the forger being gnome only, it just felt wrong
EDIT: oh and nice gem dragons

Yep - wrongness. That's why I'm just shutting up and putting up :P
Likewise for Forgers & Gnomes. The original forgers could all have been gnomes, but other races would have come to learn the skills from them sometime… (especially Forged).
Just chucking a new idea out there - what if Forger was a Prestige Class? Then you could deal directly with golems, and can specify "Gnome" as a requirement.
Ive been under the impression that PrC's were a big nono, except for VERY VERY special circumstances.
BUT… if they were a PrC, it would probably solve an issue of low level strength golems, as you generally* enter a PrC on your 7th level
*Read:There are exceptions… LOTS of exceptions :D

PrCs are only a general no-no, because many of the later ones are way too OP. Also, because they are "special", I was hoping to have additional story stuff for each one…
a dream that has become a tad impractical. :(
Also the fact that it is too late to introduce a character now… and THEN take a prestige class because you would miss out on all the cool stuff. I'd say keep working on the ideas but wait until later when/if we get this campaign over again and start anew. because then at level 6+ we could actually do that kind of stuff in game (in a playable time frame)
you sir…
Are full of win tonight!
You need to post WAY more often!

my character concepts are rarely caster :D even if it uses a magic based class (like the bard) no part of the concept really uses the casting (the bard that gives everyone 12d6 fire damage per attack)
if you dont understand AND want to understand… just say so, im more than happy to go thru step by step ;)

My character concepts on the other hand are quite often casters :) Like at the moment I am working on a character that can control over 250 Hit Dice of undead. I think I might be able to bump it up to 400-500ish Hit Dice with leadership / undead leadership. All at level 16 of course.
Can you take both? oh oh and you can kill your leadership cohorts/followers to gain undead cohorts/followers >:)

Yep dread necromancer, I think they both run off the same score. I was thinking of getting a dread necromancer with my undead leadership feat. Make it take the necropolitian template from libris mortis since it won't have to pay the level loss.
Then just nova heal yourself and your minions while killing your enemies? magic… is there anything it cant do?

Pretty much, oh you also get a kick ass improved familiar for free to!! Oh the fun, take imbue familiar as the secret you get to choose and go crazy!!!! Imagine having like 30-40 undead 12 headed cyrohydra coming at you. Pretty sure you could ruin campaigns :D
im pretty sure undead hydras aren't as good as living ones, as undead cant have fast healing (or is it regeneration?)

Actually there is a way to give them all there ex abilities back :P
On the dread necromancer handbook
Hydras make good Zombies.
A zombie loses the ability to make a full attack because it can only make a standard attack or a 3rd edition style partial charge each round. That’s fine for a Hydra, because they arbitrarily have the ability to attack with every head as a standard attack anyway! They don’t lose anything by becoming a zombie, and when you Awaken them, they get back Fast Healing, which is good times.
So awaken the hydra and you get fast healing back :D

Whispering secret words to the undead
before you, you call forth a glimmer of
intelligence in its dead eyes.
This spell grants intelligence to mindless
undead such as skeletons and
zombies. Undead creatures with Intelligence
scores are unaffected. A mindless
undead gains an Intelligence score of
1d6+4, subject to the limitation that
an undead cannot be more intelligent
than is typical of a living creature of the
same kind. A dog skeleton simply has
Intelligence 2 (no roll needed), while
an orc skeleton makes the die roll but
can’t have more than Intelligence 8.
(See MM 290 for information on skills
and feats the creature gains.)
Undead regain the armor and weapon
profi ciencies they had in life (assume
the undead were formerly warriors
unless the DM specifi es otherwise) and
will don armor and take up weapons
while obeying your commands. A
zombie fi ghter can wear any armor and
wield any simple or martial weapon,
and a warhorse zombie can wear any
armor.
Undead also regain any extraordinary
racial abilities they had in life,
such as poison or scent.
Awakened undead gain a +2 profane
bonus on their Will saving throws to
resist control undead. Awakened undead
also gain +2 turn resistance (or retain
their own turn resistance, if any, and if
it is better than +2).
Material Component: A humanoid
fi nger bone.
XP Cost: 250 XP.
