Grab the swift hunter feat from complete scoundrel. Then just go Ranger 15/Scout 5. By the end you're going to have the skirmish damage of a 20th level Scout and every important ranger ability. Grab a bane weapon as fast as you can and you'll be good to go. Additionally, you could grab the Dragon Stalker prestige class from draconomicon. Something like Ranger 3/Rogue 7/Dragon Stalker 10. The prestige class focuses on dealing sneak attack damage to dragons, gets bonuses to ignore their natural defenses and avoid detection from dragon senses. By the end, the prestige class alone gives you a handy +10d6 sneak attack damage against dragons on top of all the other abilities. |
Skirmish is ok for one shot wonders, but against a dragon's hp you need to do something like a pounce build to get the attacks out fast.
For me, when I played in a dragon hunter style campaign, I grabbed a retributive amulet (pre-MIC nerf). Nothing better than sending Half of the dragon's damage back at it with no save and no DR.
