Yeah. I'm regretting so many points on Charisma.

I guess I could use Shapechange and time duplicate to increase my Constition a little bit via Sarrukh, since I'm a dragonborn and thereby count as a scaled one; but idk if I want to go down that spooky path...

You could give him a Ring Of Evasion and a wand of Haste (or even potions for that matter). He can use wands because of his innate Sorcerous power. A staff with Ruin Delver's Fortune could also prove useful. Consumables are your friend.

Custom items are seldom allowed (the custom items rules are for GMs), and making an item in an unusual body slot triples it's cost iirc.

About the Diamond Warrior:
The skills requirements I can easily circumvent, but the feats really put the pressure on me. I only have one of the four necessary to invest in this class, and the feats I've got seem to be required at all times in order to fulfill the duty of tripmancer.

Probably not worth it then. Feat taxes are the original sin of third edition Prestige classes. They disproportionately target Martial characters and make it do that 60% of classes are never played.
You'd be better off dipping into Swordsage. The Setting Sun school is what you want for extreme tripping, and the stone dragon school can let you take advantage of size. Not that your initiator level is half your character level plus your class level, so your thrall would qualify for high level maneuvers and Stances.

Ooh! I like this line!
Most of these are throws from trips, which will both look and are cool.
I was thinking to use the last 4 remaining levels to be swordsage Setting Sun levels, keeping the build. No idea how the progression goes, tho, but I'll be sure to take any of the throws.

Dragons gain 8 + Int skill points per hit dice. They basically have rogue skills,which is one of the many reasons why dragons are the most powerful creatures native to the prime material plane.

Psychic Warriors have 2 + Int skill points per level. Swordsages have 6 + int.

It counts as a 5th level sorcerer for all intents and purposes; it cold even go higher with Sovereign Archytypes. A 5th level Sorcerer knows one 2nd level spell. Since your Dragon's CL is 5, i can provide cover for one ally.
For Sorcerers, Wings of cover is standard issue. It's one of the spells that gives Sorcerers an edge over other casters; ad only gets more useful as levels progress; as your life-saving ultimate defense; yo could even get a wand or staff of it. Immediate actions are the best kind of actions, and you want to get them as often as possible.

The only "limitation" is that you're only a young adult. The age-progression chart say 5th caster level, so you have the spells known and spells per day as a 5th level sorcerer. True Dragons are innate Sorcerers, and in many settings the source of arcane magic. Many Sorcerers gain their powers from Draconic Ancestry, and the arcane knowledge of dragons is the reason why Wizards get Draconic as a bonus language: Draconic is a lingua-franka for magic users, and all those who study ancient draconic artifacts to gain the powers of the dragons of old.
As for 1st level spells, Shield, Grease, True Strike (for power attacking), and Expeditious Retreat are good. Best off just taking buff and utility spells that'll be good for combat.

I think Telepathic Communication goes both ways, right?

In any case, it's not that I'm exchanging one for the other, more like I need another 2nd level spell to fit in the slot.

Anything non-offensive works, preferably some kind of utility or buff. Since a dragon's sorcerer level is so low; it's offensive spells are hardly ever effective against creatures it fights, especially not at epic level.

I'm kind of busy, but i recall Magic Of The Dragonheart to be useful for draconic sorcerers. That only works if you load up on draconic feats though.

I don't think tearing is going to be that big of a deal realistically. The GM is unlikely to just target your equipment, unless it's with a targeted Dispel Magic or Disjunction spell. A bag of holding is a bag; there might be other versions of storing, but idk what they are by heart.
Portable holes are useful too; just don't accidentally put your bag of holding inside one.

I really can't tell you. I've purposely held off of looking at anything that had anything to do with items for months now because I wanted to avoid being tempted to throw out my Vow Of Poverty gig in favor of high-optimization.
A quick search on Black Marshes puts a lvl 24 ECL character's WBL at 23,400,000; but it also puts lvl 25 WBL at 45,800,000 gp, and it seems as though the party got less than that. It's a question for the GM.

You could probably just put the remaining difference in gold and let your dragon sleep on it; maybe have the artificer convert it into goodies later. Even though he's your thrall, he's still a chaotic neutral teenage dragon with hoarding instincts.

A Unicorn pony is gleefully ontop of a large, yellow dragon, watching the hub with childish excitement as a serious Earth Pony accompanies both of them, walking with a stoic expression. The dragon, however, is a lot more expressive, presenting a deep frown at any passerby that goes too close, baring its teeth.
Even with the dragon's abrasive nature, the three are loosely encircled by 8 unicorns, with three at the front, three at the back and one for each side. All of them have varying expressions, but they do chat between eachother from time to time as they walk without fear.

The mysterious teleporting creature is dressed in a humble white religious habit, and doesn't appear to be carrying anything other than a small purse.
What surrounding creatures might immediately notice though is that she's standing atop a rather large (16 ton) golden tortoise that simultaneously appeared out of the blue beneath her, which appears to be the cause of the tremors earlier.
The tortoise gives a low but powerful growl and looks up at her, seemingly in response to her booming declaration.
"Now, now. There's no need to be lucrative. The creatures of this world are wonderful." the nun chides

A 'tsk' sound can be heard from the hub of ponies, a large group of which disguises the iterator

She stumbles up to the nun giggling
"Who Are you? i haven't seen you before? why are you shouting."

She pats the dragon on the side of its neck, letting her get down.
At closer inspection, she is a below-average height pony, with defintie marinine features wearing some rather goofy accessories, like a little green headband on her forehead, an ornate ring on her horn and a little torc on her neck. Her coat is covered by a white cloak and bracers on her forelegs with a crude drawing of a big, toned foreleg at the front. She passes her saddlebags to the dragon, containing who knows what with her horn as it puts it away on his own, larger backpack.
"Ah~ Now that feels much better. My back was aching. Thank you, Phospy."
She does a quick little kiss on its cheek, making the dragon exhale strongly.
(I wonder what amazing new friends will pop up now!)
He lightly trots in place looking down with her eyes closed and a huge smile on her face, clearly excited. Of course, she takes the time to actually see what's around her after that.

The t-posing nun slowly hobbles towards the tortoise's neck.
>tfw low ride ranks
The tortoise, displaying remarkable intelligence and dexterity, reaches its neck over to the clumsy nun and, not unlike a crane, lowers her to the ground.
"It really has changed in the past four hundred years, wouldn't you say so, Mr. Yertle?" the kirin comments wistfully "I don't recall there being nearly this many portals" she continues, a grim nostalgia spreading over her face
The tortoise makes a gesture that can only be a nod, eliciting yet another slight shock-wave through the ground beneath its feet.

She can see a kirin t-posing atop a giant tortoise, and walking off. Next to them is a unicorn talking to a vase.

The vase is offended. Apparently you just assumed its gender
