Eh, Dragon Disciple wouldn't really help.  Ability increases are already available through feats, there are already a number of ways for us to get access to Mighty Wallop (a permanent ritual when we have the time being the easiest), and natural armor is available elsewhere in superior flavors.  Like Dragonfire Adept.  Same feature, but you only need class training to get/boost it.<br/><br/>Warshaper really doesn't really do much for Sam.  Those are mostly boosts for combat types, and Sam's straight support.  About all it gets that would really help Sam in particular are the sneak attack/stun immunity.  I have plenty of casting toys left in store for Sam, don't worry.  And even after I get those, feat/turning supplies are gonna be a priority for a bit.  And caster level.  And wisdom.  And spellcraft.  And, by extension, intelligence.<br/><br/>And far as I know, we can buy up BAB as far as we please.  Class Training has no cap on it and stacks with itself.  Before game, when I hadn't decided on a character concept, I got approval to pump Wild Shape up to the point where I could spend my days as a friggin' dire bear.
