This is meant to be available to multiple classes.
DRAGOON
“Leap for the sky and never look back.”
Prerequisites: Trained in Athletics; Proficiency with any polearm or spear.
Trained in combat by the dragonborn elite, you are a Dragon Knight, or Dragoon. Your trademarks are reach weapons, improbable leaps, and fearsome strikes. You feel at home on dragonback and are both trained and obligated to slay evil dragons.
Dragoon Path Features
Dragoon Training (11th level): When jumping, reduce the divisor of your check by half; for example, a running high jump divides your check result by 2, not 5 (2.5 rounded down). You can also use Athletics to perform “Reduce Falling Damage” as described under the Acrobatics skill. Furthermore, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with spears and polearms, and your weapon damage rolls against dragons deal an additional 1[W] damage.
Threatening Action (11th level): Instead of using an action point to gain an extra action, you can instead gain Threatening Reach 2 until the end of the encounter. You must be wielding a spear or polearm to use this ability, and you are only considered to have Threatening Reach 2 if you are currently wielding a spear or polearm.
Flying Leap (16th level): Once per encounter when you jump, you gain a Fly (hover) speed equal to your Strength modifier until the end of your next turn.
