[HEADING=2]Dragon Lord[/HEADING]
[LIST]
[*]New Fighter Archetype: Dragon Lord: Based on the Dragon Lord prestige class from 3.5e's Dragon Magic book, the Dragon Lord is a Fighter archetype that models their tactics after the ferocity of dragons to demoralize and subdue their enemies. They excel in crowd control, defense, and Draconic power.
[*]Class Trees:
[LIST]
[*]NEW: Dragon Lord
[*]Stalwart Defender
[*]NEW: Ravager
[LIST]
[*]This is a modified version of Barbarian's Ravager tree, which does not give or rely on Rage. You cannot spend points in both this tree and Barbarian's version of Ravager at the same time.
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
[*]Class Features Dropped compared to a base Fighter:
[LIST]
[*]Kensei, Vanguard trees.
[*]Dragon Lords do not innately get Shield Proficiency. That said, you have Bonus Feats and could take Shield proficiency.
[*]Instead of a Fighter Bonus Feats at class level 1, 8, and 16, you take a Draconic Aura feat.
[/LIST]
[*]Class Features Gained vs. Base Fighter:
[LIST]
[*]Will Save Progression moves from "Poor" to "Good".
[/LIST]
[*]New Feats: Draconic Aura
[LIST]
[*]At levels 1, 8, and 16, Dragon Lords select a Draconic Aura Feat (instead of a Fighter Bonus Feat). You select one Basic Aura at level 1, one Secondary Aura at level 8, and one Tertiary Aura at level 16. These auras run constantly and simultaneously.
[*]It is intended that these Morale Bonuses do not stack with everything, especially low level spells - Upgrades in the Dragon Lord tree eventually help these exceed the bonuses of those spells. We do not intend to change this to a unique typing.
