Dragon’s Heir
He could not believe it. The Dragonborn, a member of a long monastic tradition dedicated to Bahamut, was about to participate in the slaughter of an entire city.
But, even his lord, Bahamut the platinum dragon, ultimately bowed to Io, the Dragon Lord. And so he too, like his lord, would preserve balance. Not that he had to like it.
As he looked towards the city, he joined his hands in prayers. The city had to burn, but maybe the citizens didn’t have to, Bahamut help him save as many lives as possible…

If you guessed nothing, you are beginning to understand how Dragonfire Adept works.
Goal
Mixing Monk and Dragonfire Adept and the Prestige Class of Dragon Descendant makes for a terrifyingly versatile combo. Dragon Descendants can host draconic ancestor spirits in them to enhance their combat capabilities in a wide variety of ways, and while your breath weapon is fairly weak, you can also eldritch blast, flurry of blows, fly, and do all kinds of crazy things.
