I noticed that Dragon Disciple won't get any cool abilities beyond level 20. That's kinda unfair isn't it? What's there to compensate for the loss of less high level spells cast per day? I am talking about less Level 7~9 spells and HLAs. More spells cast at these levels out weights all the current feats for DS. Besides, unlike the other classes, Sorcerer's HLA aren't special abilities that cast from a different tab. We use our level 9 spell slots to cast them.
So -1 spell cast per day actually hits even harder at higher levels. Will there be new feats added to DS beyond level 20?
Thanks for reading this. I am a player from Taiwan and sorry if I make any grammar mistakes.

Bear in mind that the experience cap for BG1 is well below that where HLAs come into play, so there was no need to factor those into the current designs for specialist kits.
When BG2: EE counts, its reasonable to assume that questions like this will be answered. Of course, I can't speculate as to what the answer might be.
...frankly, it would make just as much sense as owlbears and dragonturtles.
Honestly though, i will be surprised if dd dont get some new tricks via hla.
And honestly, I thought owlbears were kinda snazzy. Possibly beaten only by a wereowlbear.
That said, projecting my biological prejudices on a crpg may not be the healthiest thing ever. What judgemental monster am i to say that love between an owl and a bear is wrong?!
Maybe... access to some DS only spells like wild mages?
The wereowlbear though is a different issue... unless its a wereowl bugbear that met that special bear. Otherwise someone is a furry!
So in conclusion, Dragon Disciple trade level 7,8,9 spells and HLA abilites for...
20 hp, -5 AC, 100% fire resist....
I just don't see the reasoning behind taking those feats over an extra Delayed blast Fireball + Abi Dalzim + planetar......
You see, the problem is that advantages and disadvantages do not even each other.
While a Berserker, on the other hand, is totally normal.
Does it work like that? I don't think so. It has been said many times already: almost every DD-player use this kit just because of the roleplaying concept, and not because of true advantages compared to a normal Sorcerer.
That being said, it is obvious by reading every DD thread that the people have issues with its pros/cons and bugs.
Therefore, fixing it and making it more appreciable would solve the problem. Removing the kit would just make them more disappointed. Nobody said that.
In the case of the Dragon Disciple, as it was pointed out by the 99% of the people visiting this forum, it doesn't really offer anything you would want at the price of 1spell/level.
So your concept of "balanced" doesn't represent that majority. Again, I've never said they are not "implementing new content and will continue to do so".
Maybe too busy spamming trivialities?
Just a quick research with Google:
