Hmm... Persistent Divine Power? Persistent Righteous Might? You could designate a kobold rainbow warsnake with DMM as the dragon who gives you the SLA...

I think that I'd prefer Genesis as an SLA.

Not practical, as it still takes 24 hours to cast the damn thing. A Fighter who just stands around for 24 hours is not a fighter I want in my party.

There is a fighter you'd want in your party? :P

On topic: What other spells could we abuse here? Celerity and its cousins are probably much more useful for a spellcaster, who can get a lot more mileage out of a single standard action/full-round action....Persistent Wraithstrike?

^THAT is just nasty. Give it to your duskblade buddy. He can afford the 6 levels in the PrC, but late game... Any fighter would benefit of it.

Duskblade 13/Dragonkith 7. Full BAB, 4th level spells, 7 HD of 4+Int modifier skills, Energy Resistance to whatever the Kobold damn well wants (since it's based off of his Breath Weapon, he has to cast a spell to give you the energy resistance), a +3 bonus to Natural Armor, 7d10 HD.


And Persistent Wraithstrike. All it cost him was 7 levels and two feats.

Yeah, but it has the problem of being a 19 level build when it comes into full blossom. A Fighter is, of course, less powerful, but it also has less wait time until it becomes really strong. Also they have extended multiclass options.

Well, you are a Duskblade until that time (you just have two worthless feats). It is possible to make do, but it isn't pretty.

It's an interesting trick, but it seems to require jumping through a lot of hoops.  There are easier ways of getting any spell as an SLA--Runesmith comes to mind.

Does Runesmith grant 4+Int mod skills, full BAB, and require no spellcasting to enter? If so, then it's a better trick for this idea.

You know what's really retarded?

The description for Jump has no mention of you EVER needing a foothold to initiate a jump. So if you can, say, jump as a swift action, you can double jump and/or air dash. Isn't D&D fun?

Also you can jump as part of a move action, so everyone can fly by making NI jump checks every rounds as non-actions.

Strict RAW states that you can't jump unless you're jumping across a gap or reaching a ledge or grasping something overhead.  If you're being a silly literalist, you have to go all the way.

Not really.

But you can still make as many checks as you want in a round, if you keep failing them. Obviously you can't exceed your movement speed as that would be broken  :P

So wouldn't it make more sense to be the Loredrake Dragonwrought Sorceror with all the Draconic Rites of Passage stuff and have this guy be your cohort?
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

I was talking about long jumps. Jump 5 feet forward and you can keep climbing up for eternity.
