Dragoon

A human in half-plate slashes through a horde of goblins, single-handedly carving a path through the rabble. With each strike her blade starts to grow hotter, radiating a heat that warps the air around it into haze. Her companions are close behind, faithfully following her trailblazing lead.

A dwarf with shining wings and golden armor throws themselves in front of a blade meant for another, smiling grimly as it clatters off his plate before raising his axe in the air. The hapless bandit watches in awestruck terror as a meteor falls flaming from the sky directly toward the upturned axe. The dwarf launches himself into the air as the meteor nears impact, sending burning earthen shrapnel careening toward his foes.
A tiefling in shining silver armor hovers above a frantic battlefield, white light radiating from him with a steady hum of power. As he levels his bow to fire at a new enemy his allies below huddle close, their wounds healing as they shelter beneath his outstretched wings.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the world was riven by war. A race of creatures known as Winglies, led by the tyrant Melbu Frahma, ruled over the other races of the world with an iron fist. Melbu Frahma, harnessing the power of the great creator Soa, exerted Wingly rule over all aspects' of his slave-subject's lives and even controlled the fate of their souls after death.
Eventually, this oppression could no longer be tolerated by the human slaves and they rose up in a hopeless bloody rebellion. The Winglies' devastating magic and their employment of biological weapons like the monstrous Virage would have made short work of the uprising, but from desperation emerged hope. Humans and dragons, two species slated for extinction by Melbu Frahma's decree, formed an alliance of necessity. By harnessing the insanity that mankind submits themselves to when they go to war, mankind was able to attain dominion over the souls of powerful primordial dragons and transform into humanity's trump card in the war against Winglies; Dragoons, the Dragon Knights.

The Insanity of War

Dragoons are warriors first and foremost, wading into the thick of combat to dole out damage to foes as swiftly and consistently as possible. This is a necessity of their combat style, as their ability to utilize their unique skills depends upon being able to acquire Spirit Points by doling out punishment during the insanity of battle. These unique skills vary wildly depending on the type of Dragoon Spirit that recognizes the wielder.

Though the abilities of a Dragoon Spirit can change their priorities while they are transformed, they are inaccessibly if the warrior does not do damage in the first place, and so these warriors have cultivated a style of combat focused on ensuring consistent damage output at any cost.

Transformation and Magic

The trump card of the Dragoon is their ability to transform, activating their Dragoon form to clad themselves in heavy armor and gain greater mobility via the wings of the dragon. This is the most meagre of their abilities, however. Dragoons only grow in power as their synergistic link to the Dragoon Spirit develops. This improved link not only strengthens their base Dragoon Form but also gives them access to the special Dragoon Magic corresponding to the Dragoon Spirit which has recognized them as one of the few chosen by fate to dominate dragons. These magical abilities are unlike anything else in the world, designed to turn the tides of war and contest the unmatched arcane might of the Winglies.

Addition

Also at 1st level you have gained the ability to augment your strikes with superhuman timing. Once per round of combat while taking the attack Action you may spend 3SP after rolling an attack to reroll that dice. You must take the result of the second roll. Additionally, if the unmodified result of the second roll matches the initial roll and the attack would succeed, this attack is a Critical Hit and the player may make an additional attack roll immediately, up to a total of three times per round. Attacks initiated using the Addition feature do not count toward your total attacks on this turn.

Fighting Style

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a fighting style from the list of optional features.

  • Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
  • Great Weapon Fighting: When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Otherwise, you are forced out of this form at the end of the turn where you drop to 0SP or when you are reduced to 0HP. You can not regain expended SP while in Dragoon form.

Spirit Resonance

If the spell requires touch or is targeted at a single creature, you must succeed on an attack roll on the target to successfully hit, doing no damage from the arrow itself but activating the spell as if you had touched the target. Failure to hit with the attack expends the SP but does not spend the intended Spell Slot. You have a +5 to hit if the target is a willing ally, in addition to your standard attack bonuses for using a ranged weapon. Otherwise, the standard rules for Ranged combat applies to this attack.

White-Silver Dragoon Form

Starting at 7th level have increased your synergy with the White-Silver Dragon. While in Dragoon Form you have resistance to Radiant damage. Additionally, the second damage die rolled when calculating damage for a Critical Hit is considered magical Radiant damage.

Light Siphon

Also at 7th level, you have gained access to a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of 10 hit points. The total number of this pool increases by 5 for each additional level taken in Dragoon, up to a maximum of 80.

As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.
Alternatively, you can expend 10 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Light Siphon, expending hit points separately for each one.
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.

Star Children

Beginning at 10th level, you have gained access to the first level of Dragoon Magic. While in Dragoon Form you may expend 2SP to activate this ability, shrouding yourself in an aura akin to silvery starlight. While active, you and friendly creatures within 15 feet of you have resistance to Poison and Necrotic damage and cannot gain the Poisoned condition. Those with the Poisoned condition already are immediately healed, losing this condition when starting their turn within the aura’s range. At 15th level, the aura’s range increases to 30 feet. This ability remains active until you revert from Dragoon Form, however as long as this is active the cost to maintain Dragoon Form as a bonus action each turn increases to 2SP. If you do not have 2SP to spend at the start of your turn, the effect ends, though you may elect to spend 1SP to maintain your Dragoon Form without the added benefit of Star Children active.

Dragon Needle

Also at 10th level, you have gained the ability to augment your mundane arrows with the offensive capabilities of the White-Silver Dragon. You may spend 3SP prior to attempting an attack roll with a ranged weapon. Your next attack is imbued with one of the following properties:

  • Sparkle Arrow: The arrow is imbued with the shining light of the White-Silver Dragon. On a successful hit the target must make a Constitution Saving Throw or be Blinded for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution Saving Throw, ending the effect on a success.
  • Arrow of Force: The arrow is imbued with the magic of the White-Silver Dragon and deals an extra 2d8 Radiant damage.
  • Detonating Arrow: The magic of the White-Silver Dragon is concentrated onto the tip of your projectile, arcing out to strike those surrounding your target. On a successful hit, each hostile creature within 5ft of your target must make a Dexterity Saving Throw or take 2d6 Radiant damage on a failure or half as much on a success.

Gates of Heaven

Beginning at 15th level, you have gained access to the second level of Dragoon Magic. You may expend 6SP and call on the healing light of the White-Silver Dragoon. While in Dragoon Form you may use Light Siphon on any allies within the range of your aura as if you were within touch range of them.

White-Silver Dragon

Beginning at the 18th level you have gained access to final level of Dragoon magic. While in Dragoon form you may use an action and spend 12SP to manifest the physical form of the White-Silver Dragon. You fire a spirit arrow directly above you which transforms into the shining silvery visage of the White-Silver Dragon. Your Light Siphon pool refills to its maximum amount. So long as you remain in Dragoon Form you may imbue your arrows with this magic and perform the following actions:

  • You may subtract from your Light Siphon pool to augment healing spells you cast, adding any of the remaining available pool to the amount the creature(s) you target would heal. You may do this as many times as you wish until you revert from Dragoon Form or until your Light Siphon pool is depleted.
  • You may subtract from your Light Siphon pool to augment your attacks, adding any of the remaining available pool to the damage after you succeed on an attack. For every 2 points from the Light Siphon pool you may add an additional point of damage to a successful attack. The additional damage counts as radiant damage against the creature. You may do this as many times as you wish until you revert from Dragoon Form or until your Light Siphon pool is depleted.

Spirit of the Violet Dragon

Those recognized by the Spirit of the Violet Dragon are people of experience and hard-earned skill. Whatever their age, these warrior-monks are old souls, schooled in the ways of the world and knowledgeable that the wheel of time turns ever on. Some may think of these warriors as nihilists, but they forge a path despite others’ opinion in an attempt to right wrongs and change the world. They’ve seen the world at its worst, may have hit rock-bottom themselves at one point, and know that people can be better if only given the chance. Whatever their goal or ideal, they work toward it with a methodical and single-minded purpose.

Atomic Mind

At 3rd level, you have learned to reinforce your mental fortitude with the might of the Violet Dragon using the discipline techniques of the Rouge School of Martial Arts. You may spend 2SP to activate this ability for one minute. While active, you are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts and you are immune to being Charmed.

Summon 4 Gods

Also at 3rd level when you adopt this Spirit, you gain ability to emulate the martial style of a prominent figure from the Violet Dragoon’s legend. You choose from among the listed heroes and gain the associated feature:

  • Kanzas. You may use a Reaction to spend 4SP to cast the spell Hellish Rebuke as a first level spell. The save DC is equal to 8+ your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier and the damage type is Lightning. The spell level increases by 1 for each additional 2SP spent when casting. All other limitations and requirements of the spell remain the same. “I’m taking you with me!”
  • Doel. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack as an action you may expend 3SP to temporarily surround your weapon with the magical energy of the Violet Dragon; choose another creature within 10 feet of the original target that is also within your weapon’s reach. If the original attack roll would succeed against the second creature, it takes lightning damage equal to the weapon’s damage bonus plus your Wisdom modifier. “Nobody can stop me. I will not, even if I sell my soul to the devil.”
  • Haschel. When you successfully strike a target using an unarmed strike you may spend 3SP to mark the target. For the next minute you can read the surface thoughts of the creature — what is most on its mind in that moment. For the duration each successful unarmed attack you make against the creature also allows you to ask a yes or no question which the creature unknowingly and unwittingly mentally answers to the best of its ability. The creature only has access to information it presently has access to and the answers may be subjective to the creature’s knowledge. The creature may attempt an Intelligence Saving Throw at the end of each of its turns to prematurely end the effect of this ability. The save DC is equal to 8+ your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier and only a single creature may be targeted by the spell at a time. If the creature has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected. “Martial Arts is your heart. When you hit, your fist aches and your heart aches.”

Violet Dragoon Form

Starting at 7th level have increased your synergy with the Violet Dragon. While in Dragoon Form you have resistance to Lightning damage. Additionally, the second damage die rolled when calculating damage for a Critical Hit is considered magical Lightning damage.

Thunder Kid

Also at 7th level, you have gained access to the first level of Dragoon magic. While in Dragoon form you you may spend 4SP to activate this ability. A localized storm populated with dancing electric orbs appears in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within 60 feet. When you successfully hit a target within the sphere with an attack on your turn, the electric orbs strike out with a bolt of lightning at the same target. The target must then succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take lightning damage equal to your Wisdom modifier and be Stunned until the start of your next turn. If the target Succeeds on the Wisdom saving throw, the damage is halved and they are not Stunned. The save DC is equal to 8+ your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

5-Ring Shattering

At 10th level you gain a magical benefit based on a prominent figure from the Violet Dragoon’s legend. You can choose the same figure you selected at 3rd level or a different one:

  • Kanzas. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your Reaction and spend 6SP to tap into the defiance of the hero Kanzas. You are instead reduced to 1 hit points and may immediately make an unarmed attack against an enemy creature within 5ft. On a success you gain temporary hit points equal to the amount of damage you inflicted. If you use this ability again before completing a Long Rest the SP cost increases to 12SP. You instead detonate in a burst of lightning dealing 10d8 Lightning damage to any creature within 10 feet of you and immediately die. “These are mementos to remind me of the feel of blood dripping from my fist!”
  • Doel. You may spend 5SP to imbue your offhand weapon or 10SP to imbue both held weapons with the elemental power of the Violet Dragon. The weapon(s) must be nonmagical, otherwise the full SP spent is consumed but only bestows the benefits to the nonmagical weapon(s) held. For the next hour the weapon(s) become magic weapon(s) with a +1 bonus to attack rolls that deal an extra 1d4 lightning damage on a hit. The weapons lose this trait prematurely if wielded by a creature other than the caster. “Peace cannot be maintained without power!”
  • Haschel. You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. “Your steps during the attack are slow! Take more precise, faster steps!”
  • Claire. When you are hit with an attack by a creature less than 5 feet away and within range you may use your Reaction and spend 6SP to immediately attempt an unarmed strike. If the attack is successful, the creature takes damage as normal and must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the creature is knocked back 5 feet and is Incapacitated until the start of its next turn. On a success, the creature still takes damage but is not knocked back and is not Incapacitated. The save DC is equal to 8 + your Wisdom bonus + your proficiency bonus. "I am the War God! I preside over the art of war, and beckon death.”

Thunder God

At 15th level you have gained access to the second level of Dragoon magic. While in Dragoon form you you may spend 7SP to activate this ability
