I'd been doing draconian wizards for a while, but this has worked out well for me so far, it's more focused and I can play more carefully when I have less safety net spells. I honestly just got lucky with the red draconian and level 7. I started out thinking, as long as it's not ice I'm ok, but really yellow, pale, and mottled are all awful for any build it seems, the other 6 are quite usable. What are major challenges I might run into as a draconian? My dexterity is pretty low, and I'd like my int to be higher, all level ups go into int, but I still get hungry quickly with level 6 spells. Just found a staff of energy though!

I found 4 plus strength potions in an ice portal, that was pretty cool, at least I can carry more stuff.

Re: DrFe CIP

honestly I haven't used them, but it I see a free resistance as a nice perk for draconians, the red draconians get free fire resistance, pale doesn't get anything, except maybe steam resistance? I've been using a lot of point-blank fireballs, so the free resistance has been useful. Pale does have a +1 in some useful schools though, so maybe I'm too quick to judge.

Re: DrFe CIP

Ancient liches getting you down? One puff of steam breath in their general direction means they can't tag you with Crystal Spear or Paralyze until it disperses. Dragons don't breath unless they can see you, so if there's a couple tiles of steam clouds in the way they'll waddle forward while you scramble to switch your rings. Yaktaur packs won't shoot through a steam bank, either, so at the very least you can shut off their captain for a few turns. Steam disperses pretty quickly so you'll need to make some sort of plan, but at the very least you can put up Deflect Missiles and Haste before your ranged nemeses can start shooting again.

Steam breath is a defensive weapon, not a killer. Killing things are what your big conjurations are for.

Re: DrFe CIP

ack, killed by mennas, that guy is crazy strong and near impossible to escape from. That's cool about the steam breath though, it seems that if you can't see the monsters they can't see you, so that would help.
