Okay, my DM and I came up with the idea of running a game where everyone basically comes in at the level their build concept comes online, knowing that this will spread the party level out a bit, and ready to work around that for encounters. Now, I've had this idea for a sort of Master of Dragons character for a while and figured I'd see what I came up with. And screw you Emilia Clarke, you don't have a monopoly on Dragons.
Anyway. The baseline is cheesy but necessary.
Venerable Dragonwrought Loredrake Kobold
Sorcerer 13 (casts as 16)
Feats: 1(Dragonwrought), 3(Draconic Reservoir), 6(Leadership), 9(Dragon Cohort), 12(Dragon Familiar) and of course use the greater Draconic rite of passage at 6. Now, I saw nothing to indicate that you could not use Dragon Cohort and leadership together. Dragon familiar explicitly overlaps your normal familiar but Dragon Cohort does not. I could have missed something though so let me know if I'm wrong.
Out the gate, since Dragon familiar is arcane caster level based, I qualify for a wyrmling gold dragon (8 HD). Dragon Cohort let's me get a very young Bronze Dragon (9 HD) and leadership grants me a wyrmling silver dragon (7 HD).
My gold dragon familiar has enough HD to take leadership himself, and using the draconomicon lists, take a wyrmling brass dragon (4HD) as his cohort. The brass dragon doesn't have enough HD for it to go further.
My very young Bronze Dragon Cohort has 9 HD so he can take Dragon Cohort and leadership both, gaining a very young brass dragon (7 HD) and a wyrmling copper dragon (5 HD) respectively. The very young brass has enough HD to take leadership and pick up a pseudodragon Cohort, ending the chain there.
Lastly my leadership cohort wyrmling silver dragon had enough HD for leadership, gaining a pseudodragon Cohort.
That puts the final tally at 6 Dragons and 2 pseudodragons. I think this AI works. I'll grant it starts from a high op chassis but I think I brought it down a bit by using all my feats essentially on this, so while I'm still a high level sorcerer, I'm certainly not specialized. My question is, is this to much? Will it be effective or do you think the Dragons are just a waste. Looking for any thoughts and opinions.
Thanks for reading.
