* AwesomeButImpractical: Dwarven defenders are very hard to kill, but their need to stay immobile (and having neither a DrawAggro mechanic, nor any way to punish enemies for ignoring them like a Knight or Crusader can) makes them very bad at actually ''defending'' things... at least outside of [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman highly-specific situations]] like [[YouShallNotPass blocking a narrow passageway while their allies flee]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Tome of Battle'' would introduce the Stone Dragon fighting style (whose contributions to [=ToB's=] StanceSystem are largely defensive and require the user to be standing still) and its accompanying PrestigeClass Deepstone Sentinel, a dwarf-only class which combines the Dwarven Defender concept with minor [[DishingOutDirt control over earth and stone]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: The Dragon Devotee from ''Races of the Dragon'' is a shorter prestige class which grants the similar-but-weaker Draconic template, as well as a handful of boons which either make it easier to qualify for Dragon Disciple (minor arcane spellcasting if you don't have it, Knowledge [=[arcana]=] as a class skill) or serve as quality-of-life upgrades for it (the ability to cast 1st level arcane spells while wearing armor).

The book even acknowledges this, as the low entry requirements for and access to spellcasting granted by Dragon Devotee allow classes that otherwise would not qualify for Dragon Disciple (such as fighters) to move on to that prestige class.

Added DiffLines:
* MagicKnight: Requires minor spellcasting to enter, and uniquely grants extra spells per day but without expanding their repertoire or making their spells any stronger. As a result of their weak magic, most dragon disciples will rely more on [[StatusBuff self-buffs]] and broadly-useful {{Utility Magic}} rather than casting spells on their foes directly.

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Tends to be pronounced in D&D media not as "blaggard", but as the separate words "black guard".
