[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 4242090, member: 13966"] Well, it took longer to finish the updates than I had expected, due to lots of insomnia, some dog-sitting, and not being able to focus well in my sleep-deprived state each day. I worked on various other stuff too, and will get further updates done this week. For now, I've posted the Dragon Knight prestige class of Aurelia, in the two posts above this one, and I added the Skirmisher variant Fighter to page 2, in the two posts between the standard Fighter and the Slayer variant, near the lower-middle of the page. Dragon Knights are a means for martial or kinda-martial characters to gain some minor draconic traits and powers, without being sorcerer-type dragon disciples or whatnot. They pledge services to a dragon, and share a bit of its power through an ancient magic woven by the dragon gods. Unlike a dragon disciple or similar, the Dragon Knight develops almost purely physical abilities; they gain access to a few minor supernatural abilities from their dragon patron if they like, but are still heavily martial and draw primarily upon the strength and resilience of dragonkind. Of course, unlike a dragon disciple, the Dragon Knight is beholden to a dragon, who can sever the bond and thus permanently remove most of the Dragon Knight's benefits if the guy can't bother to stay at least moderately loyal to the dragon or its goals. Or if he just ticks off the dragon pretty badly. Not so hard for someone trying to get the help of a copper dragon, who'd probably let them go on adventuring as normal, but a red dragon doesn't take failure or disloyalty lightly. The Dragonbond requires a lot of resilience and martial skill out of Dragon Knights, thus the prerequisites and limitations; the dragon gods wouldn't let young, chaotic dragons go around giving their random "new bestest buddy in the world" special powers left and right. Joe Shmoe need not apply for Dragon Knight status; he'd better be Joe "I can crush a brick with my teeth, spar all day with a dragon, and stay standing while a dragon roars in my face and tears out my innards until it decides to heal me" Shmoe. Or something like that. [/QUOTE]
