now that i look at it i think the only difference is epic Dragon, and the spells. should i still move back the healing spells?
[sblock]Dragon Bound
"Shelow here can fly me through anything".
- famous last words as Joanne the Dragon Bound flew off into a hurricane.
The dragon bound has been a most glorious title for decades. Everybody has heard of them, whether it is for courageous deeds of good, or destroying whole towns just for the fun of it. Although many people dislike the dragon bound, they still hold a high place in society. The bond between dragon and dragon bound is a symbol of peace after millennia of fear and hatred. Every year, the dragons donate a certain number of eggs to the dragon bound, which travel the world searching for the lucky few who have been chosen by the dragons. When the dragon egg is presented to the chosen one, their training begins.
Adventures
The dragon bound hold their position very seriously as a protector of their partner, and as holders of a great responsibility. Good Dragon Bound are comparable to paladins, with compassion to pursue good, a will to uphold law, beside the fact that Dragon Bound are Dragon centered. Evil dragon bound enjoy reckless destruction, inflicting pain, and often feel far superior to people who weren’t entrusted with powers like them. Neutral dragon bound often watch the events of the world from the shadows, stepping in there imbalances of power occur, then returning to their observation.
Characteristics
Dragon bound respect and honour their dragons, as they have a unique bond that only another dragon bound can understand. They gain insight towards the world by being connected to the dragons. Their dragons are there world and do not like it when their dragons are treated unfairly or shown any other form of rudeness.
Alignment
Dragon bound don’t have any fixed alignment, and because the dragon gains it alignment from the behaviors of the parent dragons, the dragons aren’t alignment tied. It has been seen a Paladin/Dragon Bound with a red dragon.
Religion
Dragon bound serve the dragon gods as a major reminder how powerful dragons can be. Good dragon bound tend to worship Lendys (the Scale of Justice), Tamara (Her Mercy) or Bahamut (the King of Good Dragonkind). Neutral dragon bound tend to worship Chronepsis (the Silent Watcher) or Io (the Creator of Dragonkind). Evil dragon bound tend to worship Garyx (the All-destroyer) or Tiamat (the Chromatic Dragon).
Background
Dragon bound come from all cultures and communities and so can be vary different, but have grate respect for dragons. All Dragon Bound have gone to the school of First Dragon Rights, and has gone out into the world to start their life.
Races
As becoming dragon bound is a matter of destiny, it comes as no surprise that humans, being creatures of destiny and also belonging to no one culture or god, are often the ones called to this path. Half-elves are also occasionally chosen as well, in addition to their full-blooded elven parents. Half-orcs generally lack the incredible strength of character to follow this path; however, a half-orc dragon bound is certainly a formidable opponent. In the end, however, the dragons choose whom they will and their decisions are often strange and unpredictable, thus, anyone from any race or culture may become dragon bound.
Abilities
Charisma is often mandatory for a Dragon Bound because it increases their spells and improves their DC save. Strength is important for dragon bound as it improves their melee attack and damage rolls. Constitution is important for giving dragon bound lots of hit points, which they need in their many battles. Dexterity is important to dragon bound who want to be good archers or who want to unlock dexterity–related feats, but the heavy armour that dragon bound usually wear reduces the benefit of a high dexterity score.
Class Features

Alignment: A Dragon Bound can be of any alignment, and the Dragon can be of any alignment also.

Skills points at 1st Level : (2 + Int modifier) x4
Skills points at Each Additional Level : 2 + Int modifier
multiclassing: Like a member of any other class, a dragon bound may be a multiclass character, but multiclass dragon bound face a special restriction. The dragon and character have a deep connection to each other, and are a vital part to each other’s lives, and so the class a dragon bound gains has to include the Dragon (If the Dragon Bound wanted to be a Netherese Archanist he could, but only if he gained the ability’s exclusively on the dragon back).
Weapon and Armour Proficiency: A Dragon Bound has proficiency in all simple and martial weapons, but only gains armor and shield proficiency through Armored Casting, and cant gain proficiency through any means other than Armored Casting.
Spells: Beginning at 1st level, the rider is able to cast a number of arcane spells taken from there list. They know all their spells. They get a bonus of cha towards there spells, and when the dragon haches they use the lower bonus out of the two. A Dragon Bound and dragon share spells they can each cast spells and they have a combined list (not two different lists). They don’t gain any additional bonus spell slots from temporary changes. They need not meditate to gain spell points, just get a good nights sleep. To cast a spell, the Dragon Bound must have an Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Dragon Bound's spell is 10 + the spell level + the Dagon Bound's Charisma modifier. Like a sorcerer, a Dragon Bound need not prepare his spells in advance, and can cast any spell he knows at any time. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

Dragon: The main point of the Dragon Bound is of course his dragon. Because the dragon gains it alignment from the behaviors of the parent dragons, the dragons aren’t alignment tied. The dragon Bound has a dragon egg at level 1. The bond between Dragon Bound and Dragon is very strong and means that if the dragon dies, the Dragon Bound must make a DC 15 fort + dragon bound level. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per Dragon Bound level; success reduces the loss to one half that amount to 100 per level. A Dragon Bound can never acquire another dragon, but a slain dragon can be raised from the dead as a character can be, but the dragon does not lose a level or any constitution. If the dragon Bound's dragon is died permanently the dragon Bound can’t tack any more levels in dragon Bound, and loses all class ability’s, but can now take levels in other classes. Dragons require 1/2 of your gold and magic items for its hord. These dragons are just like monsters in the Monster Manual without fear, they can only use there breath weapon 1's every 8 rounds, and spell casting is limited (this replaces all spells and spelllike abilitys).
[sblock= Dragon facts]Bite: Bite attacks deal the indicated damage plus the dragon’s Strength bonus. A dragon also can use its bite to snatch opponents if it has the Snatch feat.
Claw: Claw attacks deal the indicated damage plus 1/2 the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down). The dragon also can use its claws to snatch opponents if it has the Snatch feat. Claw attacks are secondary attacks, requiring a –5 penalty on the attack roll. (Many dragons choose the Multiattack feat to lessen this penalty to –2).
Wing: The dragon can slam opponents with its wings, even when flying. Wing attacks deal the indicated damage plus 1/2 the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down) and are treated as secondary attacks.
Tail Slap: The dragon can slap one opponent each round with its tail. A tail slap deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down) and is treated as a secondary attack.
Crush (Ex): This special attack allows a flying or jumping dragon of at least Huge size to land on opponents as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon (though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks against larger opponents).
A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the dragon’s body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape.
A crush attack deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down).
Tail Sweep (Ex): This special attack allows a dragon of at least Gargantuan size to sweep with its tail as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet (or 40 feet for a Colossal dragon), extending from an intersection on the edge of the dragon’s space in any direction. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are four or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A tail sweep automatically deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down). Affected creatures can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon).
Grappling: Dragons do not favor grapple attacks, though their crush attack (and Snatch feat, if they know it) use normal grapple rules. A dragon can always use its breath weapon while grappling, as well as its spells and spell-like or supernatural abilities, provided it succeeds on Concentration checks.
Breath Weapon (Su): Using a breath weapon is a standard action. A blast from a breath weapon always starts at any intersection adjacent to the dragon and extends in a direction of the dragon’s choice, with an area as noted on the table below. If the breath weapon deals damage, creatures caught in the area can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. Saves against nondamaging breath weapons use the same DC. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 dragon’s HD + dragon’s Con modifier.
Breath weapons come in two basic shapes, line and cone, whose areas vary with the dragon’s size.
Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.
Skills: All dragons have skill points equal to (6 + Int modifier, minimum 1) x (Hit Dice + 3). Most dragons purchase the following skills at the maximum ranks possible: Listen, Search, and Spot. The remaining skill points are generally spent on Concentration, Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device at a cost of 1 skill point per rank. All these skills are considered class skills for dragons. (Each dragon has other class skills as well, as noted in the variety descriptions.)
Feats: All dragons have one feat, plus additional feats based on Hit Dice just like any other creature. Dragons favor Alertness, Blind-Fight, Cleave, Flyby Attack, Hover, Improved Initiative, Improved Sunder, Power Attack, Snatch, Weapon Focus (claw or bite), Wingover.
Dragon Overland Movement
Chromatic and metallic dragons are exceedingly strong flyers and can cover vast distances quickly. A dragon’s overland flying speed is a function of its tactical fly speed, as shown on the table below.
Dragons do not tire as quickly as other creatures when moving overland on the ground. If a dragon attempts a hustle or a forced march, check for nonlethal damage once every 2 hours instead of every hour. [/sblock]
Egg: At level 1 a Dragon Bound is supplemented with a dragon egg. It is the color of the dragons race but looks like a normal rock to everyone but the rider. It has a spell cast over the egg that stops it from being more then 5 feet away from the rider. The egg will not hatch for the rider till the egg thinks the rider is worthy, so when a rider gets to the right level the egg hatches for him.
Empathic Link: The Dragon Bound has an empathic link with his dragon for up to one mile. This link communicates emotions.
Spells: A Dragon Bound and dragon can share spells. They can each cast spells but they have a combined list and use the lower charisma bonus out of the two(this replaces all spells and spelllike abilitys).
Age: Because of the strong magic that infuses both Dragon and Dragon Bound, the Dragon grows much, much quicker than a normal dragon.
Share Spells: At the Dragon Bound’s or Dragon’s option, he may have any spell he cast on themselves to effect the Dragon or Dragon Bound. They must be within 5 feet of each other to receive the benefit. A Dragon Bound and Dragon can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of that type.
Telepathic Link: The Dragon Bound and his Dragon hold such a strong connection that they can communicate telepathically.
Flight: The dragon has grown so much with the dragon bound that its wings improve to the point where there flight maneuverability is considered one level higher than normal.
Mental Shield: The links between Dragon and Dragon Bound are so powerful now, that one's a round they can shield each other from damage. If one takes damage, the other can make a concentration check DC 10 + damage dealt, to take damage up to the Dragon Bound's constitution modifier x the Dragon’s constitution modifier + 5. this is a mental act and the dragon or Dragon Bound can choose not to tack the damage they can.
example: Eragon takes 20 damage. If Saphira makes a Concentration check of 30, she can take up to Eragon’s con modifier (3) x Saphira’s con modifier (4) + 5 = 17 but saphira only has 15 hp left so decides to tack only 12 damage. This means Eragon takes 8 damage and Saphira takes 12 damage.
Fight As One: The Dragon Bound and his Dragon have been together for so long that they now act as one entity, one being. So when mounted they the rider can reach down vary far (albeit with a negative) and attack small things.
Telepathy: The Dragon has become so accustomed to speaking with her mind, she now talks to all beings telepathically. She still needs to be able to speak the subject’s language.
Rider’s Blade: Beginning at 1st level, the Dragon Bound chooses his ‘Rider’s Blade’. This weapon is made of his dragon’s magic. The blade is infused with magic. The blade is timeless, It will never blunt, cannot be sundered, and is masterwork. If stolen or lost it requires one level to make a new riders blade. If willfully sacrificed, it requires 3 levels. The weapon bonuses are only accessible to the dragon bound. At level four it gains a +1 and every 5 levels after it improves by +1, to +2 at 9, +3 at 14, and +4 at 19. It doesn’t stack, merely replaces enchantment bonuses until the enchantments bonus is higher then the blades. It is considered a super natural ability.
Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome light armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 1 he can use and gets no spell failure on light armor, and buckler shields.
Elemental Blade: At forth level, the dragons magic rubs off on the "Rider’s Blade", making it the same hue as the dragon, and giving an extra 1d6 of the dragons elemental damage. It stacks and is considered a super natural ability.
Fresh Breath: At sixth level, a Dragon Bound has become attuned to his Dragon's breath weapon. If he is accidentally caught in the breath, on a successful save he takes no damage, on a failure he takes only half damage not unlike the evasion special ability. This works only for his dragon's breath weapon, not for anything else, including other dragon's breath.
Improved Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome medium armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 10 he can use and gets no spell failure on medium armor, and light shields.
Explosive Blade: At 15th level, the Rider’s blade becomes even more powerful and glows brightly with the color of his dragon. This time it gains the ‘burst’ ability and is also considered supernatural.
Grater Fresh Breath: By 16th level, the Dragon Bound has become so used to his dragon’s breath weapon; he now is immune.
Blood Oath: At level 20, the Rider’s bond to his Dragon becomes so strong he undergoes an incredible transformation. He becomes more draconic. His teeth and nails become sharper, but not sharp enough to attack with, and his skin take on a slight tint identical to his dragon’s color. Regardless of race, all scars, blemishes and disfigurations disappear. Non-magical diseases are cured. all negative levels are restored and all stat cuts vanish. He also become stronger, quicker and wiser, gaining a +2 bonus to Strength, Dexterity and Wisdom.
Grater Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome heavy armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 20 he can use and gets no spell failure on heavy armor, and heavy shields.

Ex-Dragon Bound
A dragon bound who tacks a level in anything that dose not include the dragon cannot gain any more levels in dragon bound, and loses all class abilities until his levels (levels he gained after the first Dragon Bound level) are all into dragon bound. The dragon bound’s partner may even be so angered by his blatant disregard for it, that the dragon may leave and never come back.

DRAGON BOUND IN THE WORLD
Fun! You think this is fun! This is a flight technique that will save your life 1 day!
- Jeremy the blunt, Dragon Bound trainer at the First school of Dragon Rights.
Notables: There are a few Dragon Bound that stand out in history:
Habitha is one of the least know Dragon Bound, because she was a women. But she was vital to the stability of this class. She was the Dragon Bound who convinced the wild Dragons to supplement the school with eggs with the promise of land without humans. They are week, but many and where slowly killing off the dragons.
Joanne was Habitha's mate and he, once he heard news of habitha’s triumph, he went to the human king. After 5 quick days of negotiations, he formed the treaty between the humans and Dragons. Although many empires have risen and fallen sense then, it has always been advantages to maintain the treaty with the Dragons.
Fredric the grand was the first Dragon Bound ever, and set up the schools to begin the teaching of apprentices. He named the school "The First school of Dragon Rights" to honor the Dragons, and as a constant reminder to what the Dragon Bound stand for.
There has only been 1 notably evil Dragon Bound by Dragon Bound standards, for Dragon Bound are commonly evil. His name was Kebler the wicked. He went mad when his Dragon Hatched, for it was deformed. That had a profound effect on his week mind. He blamed the whole Dragon race for the deformity and went on a rampage kill many a Dragon. It required 10 Dragon Bound attacking at the same time to tack him down, for in his madness he gained power. To this day the Dragons still mourn the lost and Dragon Bound are forbidden to speak of it.
Organizations: Ones a Dragon Bound has been chosen they go to the First school of Dragon Rights, this is where a Dragon Bound learns about The real Dragon Bound legacy. They learn how to read and write. How to act as a Dragon Bound, and may many more thing. The teachers are Retired Dragon Bound who live the legacy forever. Some Dragon Bound leave young to explore the world. Some stay longer to learn all there is to learn. Still some others never leave and become teachers. The school is usually located where only Dragons can Fly, and its not uncommon for giant Red and Gold Dragons side by side, for it is a neutral zone where all hatred is put aside so that the Dragons don’t have to fight for land. The young apprentices that learn at these schools gain a deep understanding about Dragons and the society more then any learned scholar could ever know, for it requires a Dragon Companion to understand.
The pecking orders of theses schools are:
The Grand Master, and any ancient Dragons that reside in the school
The teachers and there dragons, along with visiting Dragons
The cleaning and cooking staff because they are privileged to clean at such a prestige school
And finally the apprentices, the teach humility
DRAGON BOUND IN THE GAME
A Dragon Bound is most like a Duskblade then any other class.
NPC Reaction
Commoners: Commoners tend to be skeptical if a Dragon Bound says he’s a Dragon Bound(when the Dragon isn’t present). At which point he dose one of two things, he will either ask the Dragon Bound to prove it or dismiss the fact and think he’s a liar. If the Dragon Bound proves it (by showing him his Dragon) then the commoner dose one of two things. Either he get frightened and submissive or dismisses the fact and moves on. Giving a little bit of respect to the Dragon Bound and none to the Dragon.
Nobility: Nobility almost always believes a character when he clam’s to be a Dragon Bound, because they like ranting at anyone who is forthright with this information regardless of truth. They have heard the story’s thousands of times about the epic history of the class Dragon Bound, and tend to disbelieve it all. They mostly are pompous, with no respect towards the Dragon Bound or Dragon. Although a little intimidated by the Dragon, they think them as nothing more the pets for brainwashed popping jays.
Scholars: Scholars who have researched the class tend to act different towards a Dragon Bound ones they establish proof of their identity. But ones it is secured these scholars treat the Dragon Bound and his Dragon with respect, though not on par as an equal. They tend to be vary compliant with any requests a Dragon Bound might have, and a bit intimidated by the Dragon. At the same time asking about his relation ship with the Dragon and more obscure tidbits of information surrounding the classes creation (and taking notes all the wile).
Royalty: Royalty know a Dragon Bound is authentic for two reasons. First they know that to get an audience with the king they had to show their Dragon. Second, the Dragon is almost always present in the audience. They tend to respect the Dragon Bound more then Fear them because of their common visits to the Government, and their accomplishments with the Dragons.
Encounters: If a Dragon Bound meets another Dragon Bound, they do an assortment of things. They normally exchange the latest news on the kings and Dragons, tell of their latest adventure, or have nonlethal duels. Wile their Dragon converse with each other on what ever they feel like saying (normally about there hord), and have breathtaking Arial contests.
Adaptation: You don’t need a the school, or the Dragon land treaty to play a Dragon Bound. Nothing in here fits your world perfectly. I am not going to tell you how to play one, these are guidelines not set rules.

[sblock]Dragon Bound
"Shelow here can fly me through anything".
- famous last words as Joanne the Dragon Bound flew off into a hurricane.
The dragon bound has been a most glorious title for decades. Everybody has heard of them, whether it is for courageous deeds of good, or destroying whole towns just for the fun of it. Although many people dislike the dragon bound, they still hold a high place in society. The bond between dragon and dragon bound is a symbol of peace after millennia of fear and hatred. Every year, the dragons donate a certain number of eggs to the dragon bound, which travel the world searching for the lucky few who have been chosen by the dragons. When the dragon egg is presented to the chosen one, their training begins.
Adventures
The dragon bound hold their position very seriously as a protector of their partner, and as holders of a great responsibility. Good Dragon Bound are comparable to paladins, with compassion to pursue good, a will to uphold law, beside the fact that Dragon Bound are Dragon centered. Evil dragon bound enjoy reckless destruction, inflicting pain, and often feel far superior to people who weren’t entrusted with powers like them. Neutral dragon bound often watch the events of the world from the shadows, stepping in there imbalances of power occur, then returning to their observation.
Characteristics
Dragon bound respect and honour their dragons, as they have a unique bond that only another dragon bound can understand. They gain insight towards the world by being connected to the dragons. Their dragons are there world and do not like it when their dragons are treated unfairly or shown any other form of rudeness.
Alignment
Dragon bound don’t have any fixed alignment, and because the dragon gains it alignment from the behaviors of the parent dragons, the dragons aren’t alignment tied. It has been seen a Paladin/Dragon Bound with a red dragon.
Religion
Dragon bound serve the dragon gods as a major reminder how powerful dragons can be. Good dragon bound tend to worship Lendys (the Scale of Justice), Tamara (Her Mercy) or Bahamut (the King of Good Dragonkind). Neutral dragon bound tend to worship Chronepsis (the Silent Watcher) or Io (the Creator of Dragonkind). Evil dragon bound tend to worship Garyx (the All-destroyer) or Tiamat (the Chromatic Dragon).
Background
Dragon bound come from all cultures and communities and so can be vary different, but have grate respect for dragons. All Dragon Bound have gone to the school of First Dragon Rights, and has gone out into the world to start their life.
Races
As becoming dragon bound is a matter of destiny, it comes as no surprise that humans, being creatures of destiny and also belonging to no one culture or god, are often the ones called to this path. Half-elves are also occasionally chosen as well, in addition to their full-blooded elven parents. Half-orcs generally lack the incredible strength of character to follow this path; however, a half-orc dragon bound is certainly a formidable opponent. In the end, however, the dragons choose whom they will and their decisions are often strange and unpredictable, thus, anyone from any race or culture may become dragon bound.
Abilities
Charisma is often mandatory for a Dragon Bound because it increases their spells and improves their DC save. Strength is important for dragon bound as it improves their melee attack and damage rolls. Constitution is important for giving dragon bound lots of hit points, which they need in their many battles. Dexterity is important to dragon bound who want to be good archers or who want to unlock dexterity–related feats, but the heavy armour that dragon bound usually wear reduces the benefit of a high dexterity score.

Spells: Beginning at 1st level, the rider is able to cast a number of arcane spells taken from there list. They know all their spells. They get a bonus of cha towards there spells, and when the dragon haches they use the lower bonus out of the two. A Dragon Bound and dragon share spells they can each cast spells and they have a combined list (not two different lists). They don’t gain any additional bonus spell slots from temporary changes. They need not meditate to gain spell points, just get a good nights sleep. To cast a spell, the Dragon Bound must have an Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Dragon Bound's spell is 10 + the spell level + the Dagon Bound's Charisma modifier. Like a sorcerer, a Dragon Bound need not prepare his spells in advance, and can cast any spell he knows at any time. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

Because the dragon gains it alignment from the behaviors of the parent dragons, the dragons aren’t alignment tied. The dragon Bound has a dragon egg at level 1. The bond between Dragon Bound and Dragon is very strong and means that if the dragon dies, the Dragon Bound must make a DC 15 fort + dragon bound level. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per Dragon Bound level; success reduces the loss to one half that amount to 100 per level. A Dragon Bound can never acquire another dragon, but a slain dragon can be raised from the dead as a character can be, but the dragon does not lose a level or any constitution. If the dragon Bound's dragon is died permanently the dragon Bound can’t tack any more levels in dragon Bound, and loses all class ability’s, but can now take levels in other classes. Dragons require 1/2 of your gold and magic items for its hord. These dragons are just like monsters in the Monster Manual without fear, they can only use there breath weapon 1's every 8 rounds, and spell casting is limited (this replaces all spells and spelllike abilitys).

~= only dragon bound level[sblock= Dragon facts]Bite: Bite attacks deal the indicated damage plus the dragon’s Strength bonus. A dragon also can use its bite to snatch opponents if it has the Snatch feat.
Claw: Claw attacks deal the indicated damage plus 1/2 the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down). The dragon also can use its claws to snatch opponents if it has the Snatch feat. Claw attacks are secondary attacks, requiring a –5 penalty on the attack roll. (Many dragons choose the Multiattack feat to lessen this penalty to –2).
Wing: The dragon can slam opponents with its wings, even when flying. Wing attacks deal the indicated damage plus 1/2 the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down) and are treated as secondary attacks.
Tail Slap: The dragon can slap one opponent each round with its tail. A tail slap deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down) and is treated as a secondary attack.
Crush (Ex): This special attack allows a flying or jumping dragon of at least Huge size to land on opponents as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon (though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks against larger opponents).
A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the dragon’s body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape.
A crush attack deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down).
Tail Sweep (Ex): This special attack allows a dragon of at least Gargantuan size to sweep with its tail as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet (or 40 feet for a Colossal dragon), extending from an intersection on the edge of the dragon’s space in any direction. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are four or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A tail sweep automatically deals the indicated damage plus 1-1/2 times the dragon’s Strength bonus (round down). Affected creatures can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage (DC equal to that of the dragon’s breath weapon).
Grappling: Dragons do not favor grapple attacks, though their crush attack (and Snatch feat, if they know it) use normal grapple rules. A dragon can always use its breath weapon while grappling, as well as its spells and spell-like or supernatural abilities, provided it succeeds on Concentration checks.
Breath Weapon (Su): Using a breath weapon is a standard action. A blast from a breath weapon always starts at any intersection adjacent to the dragon and extends in a direction of the dragon’s choice, with an area as noted on the table below. If the breath weapon deals damage, creatures caught in the area can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. Saves against nondamaging breath weapons use the same DC. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 dragon’s HD + dragon’s Con modifier.
Breath weapons come in two basic shapes, line and cone, whose areas vary with the dragon’s size.

**A cone is as high and wide as its length.Keen Senses (Ex): A dragon sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.
Skills: All dragons have skill points equal to (6 + Int modifier, minimum 1) x (Hit Dice + 3). Most dragons purchase the following skills at the maximum ranks possible: Listen, Search, and Spot. The remaining skill points are generally spent on Concentration, Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device at a cost of 1 skill point per rank. All these skills are considered class skills for dragons. (Each dragon has other class skills as well, as noted in the variety descriptions.)
Feats: All dragons have one feat, plus additional feats based on Hit Dice just like any other creature. Dragons favor Alertness, Blind-Fight, Cleave, Flyby Attack, Hover, Improved Initiative, Improved Sunder, Power Attack, Snatch, Weapon Focus (claw or bite), Wingover.

Chromatic and metallic dragons are exceedingly strong flyers and can cover vast distances quickly. A dragon’s overland flying speed is a function of its tactical fly speed, as shown on the table below.

It is the color of the dragons race but looks like a normal rock to everyone but the rider. It has a spell cast over the egg that stops it from being more then 5 feet away from the rider. The egg will not hatch for the rider till the egg thinks the rider is worthy, so when a rider gets to the right level the egg hatches for him.
Empathic Link: The Dragon Bound has an empathic link with his dragon for up to one mile. This link communicates emotions.
Spells: A Dragon Bound and dragon can share spells. They can each cast spells but they have a combined list and use the lower charisma bonus out of the two(this replaces all spells and spelllike abilitys).
Age: Because of the strong magic that infuses both Dragon and Dragon Bound, the Dragon grows much, much quicker than a normal dragon.
Share Spells: At the Dragon Bound’s or Dragon’s option, he may have any spell he cast on themselves to effect the Dragon or Dragon Bound. They must be within 5 feet of each other to receive the benefit. A Dragon Bound and Dragon can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of that type.
Telepathic Link: The Dragon Bound and his Dragon hold such a strong connection that they can communicate telepathically.
Flight: The dragon has grown so much with the dragon bound that its wings improve to the point where there flight maneuverability is considered one level higher than normal.
Mental Shield: The links between Dragon and Dragon Bound are so powerful now, that one's a round they can shield each other from damage. If one takes damage, the other can make a concentration check DC 10 + damage dealt, to take damage up to the Dragon Bound's constitution modifier x the Dragon’s constitution modifier + 5. this is a mental act and the dragon or Dragon Bound can choose not to tack the damage they can.
example: Eragon takes 20 damage. If Saphira makes a Concentration check of 30, she can take up to Eragon’s con modifier (3) x Saphira’s con modifier (4) + 5 = 17 but saphira only has 15 hp left so decides to tack only 12 damage. This means Eragon takes 8 damage and Saphira takes 12 damage.
Fight As One: The Dragon Bound and his Dragon have been together for so long that they now act as one entity, one being. So when mounted they the rider can reach down vary far (albeit with a negative) and attack small things.

Colossal Gargantuan Huge Large Medium SmallTelepathy: The Dragon has become so accustomed to speaking with her mind, she now talks to all beings telepathically. She still needs to be able to speak the subject’s language.
Rider’s Blade: Beginning at 1st level, the Dragon Bound chooses his ‘Rider’s Blade’. This weapon is made of his dragon’s magic. The blade is infused with magic. The blade is timeless, It will never blunt, cannot be sundered, and is masterwork. If stolen or lost it requires one level to make a new riders blade. If willfully sacrificed, it requires 3 levels. The weapon bonuses are only accessible to the dragon bound. At level four it gains a +1 and every 5 levels after it improves by +1, to +2 at 9, +3 at 14, and +4 at 19. It doesn’t stack, merely replaces enchantment bonuses until the enchantments bonus is higher then the blades. It is considered a super natural ability.
Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome light armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 1 he can use and gets no spell failure on light armor, and buckler shields.
Elemental Blade: At forth level, the dragons magic rubs off on the "Rider’s Blade", making it the same hue as the dragon, and giving an extra 1d6 of the dragons elemental damage. It stacks and is considered a super natural ability.
Fresh Breath: At sixth level, a Dragon Bound has become attuned to his Dragon's breath weapon. If he is accidentally caught in the breath, on a successful save he takes no damage, on a failure he takes only half damage not unlike the evasion special ability. This works only for his dragon's breath weapon, not for anything else, including other dragon's breath.
Improved Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome medium armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 10 he can use and gets no spell failure on medium armor, and light shields.
Explosive Blade: At 15th level, the Rider’s blade becomes even more powerful and glows brightly with the color of his dragon. This time it gains the ‘burst’ ability and is also considered supernatural.
Grater Fresh Breath: By 16th level, the Dragon Bound has become so used to his dragon’s breath weapon; he now is immune.
Blood Oath: At level 20, the Rider’s bond to his Dragon becomes so strong he undergoes an incredible transformation. He becomes more draconic. His teeth and nails become sharper, but not sharp enough to attack with, and his skin take on a slight tint identical to his dragon’s color. Regardless of race, all scars, blemishes and disfigurations disappear. Non-magical diseases are cured. all negative levels are restored and all stat cuts vanish. He also become stronger, quicker and wiser, gaining a +2 bonus to Strength, Dexterity and Wisdom.
Grater Armored Casting: A Dragon bound is trained in armored combat as well as spell casting, and has found an exercise to overcome heavy armor and its spell failure(But only with spells provided by the Dragon Bound class). So at level 20 he can use and gets no spell failure on heavy armor, and heavy shields.

Ex-Dragon Bound
A dragon bound who tacks a level in anything that dose not include the dragon cannot gain any more levels in dragon bound, and loses all class abilities until his levels (levels he gained after the first Dragon Bound level) are all into dragon bound. The dragon bound’s partner may even be so angered by his blatant disregard for it, that the dragon may leave and never come back.
PLAYING A DRAGON BOUND
There is no concrete way to play a Dragon Bound, for every game, adventure, and character has to many variables to mention. But this is a Brief Description on an average world on an average game.
Religion: Dragon Bound almost always fallow dragon gods, because of there dragon conpanion. Their god's are: Good Dragon gods are Lendys (the Scale of Justice), Tamara (Her Mercy), and Bahamut (the King of Good Dragonkind). Neutral Dragon gods are Chronepsis (the Silent Watcher), and Io (the Creator of Dragonkind). Evil Dragon gods are Garyx (the All-destroyer), and Tiamat (the Chromatic Dragon).
Other Classes:
Barbarian’s are either envious or grateful of the dragon Bounds help depending on the player, but never like a Dragon Bound because of there ability to reap havoc on the battle field. A Dragon Bound doesn’t really care for a Barbarian and tend to avoid them in because of there nature.
Bard’s like the Dragon Bound for their common roles in epic poems and songs, and tent to buff them in battles. Wile the Dragon Bound are often pompous about their classes dominance in story’s, and strive to keep bards alive to further their profession fame.
Claric's don’t like the fact that a Dragon Bound can heal, and mock their gods, and tend to blame the Dragon Bound if someone death mid-adventure from lack of healing. The Dragon Bound Scoff at the Claric’s petty gods and often considers them misguided.
Druid’s are often amazed by the Dragon Bound companion more then the player, and then to treat the Dragon like royalty. The Dragon Bound likes to see his dragon get attention and treats the Druids fairly, but every so often a smack remark may fall out of his mouth about the druids wimpy pet.
Fighters normally like the challenge on the battlefield and try to out maneuver and out kill the Dragon Bound. Ironically, so do the Dragon Bound and try to make it fair, by excluding the Dragon in such competitions.
Monk’s don’t really care about Dragon Bound, to them there just another class and don’t pay unnecessary attention to dragon bound. Likewise, with the Dragon Bound, except for there fascination for a monks flexibility.
Paladin’s think they are almost identical to Dragon Bound motive wise and tend to have a grate understanding with them, although not with the dragon. Dragon Bound tent to think the paladins know nothing about them, for they’re all about Dragon's not Uprooting evil, although this dose not stop paladins from their thoughts.
Ranger’s like druids have an immense curiosity for a Dragon Bounds dragon. Unlike the Druid however the Dragon Bound respect Rangers for there devotion to nature and treat them vary politely and tend to save them from dieing more often then any other class.
Rogue’s, like monks, think there just like any other class except for the dragon's, they are deeply afraid of the dragon because of its uncanny history of eating rogues. Dragon Bound tend to cultivate this belief to save their purse form watchful eyes.
Sorcerer’s think dragon bound are mock spell casters and normally look down upon them like monkeys dabbling with higher mathematics’. At the same time Dragon Bound do not fear sorcerers in the least because of their ability to save against deadly spells.
Wizard’s tend to believe like sorcerers that Dragon Bound are mock spell casters. Dragon Bound however hate wizards and tend to have none lethal duels with wizards that often end in wizards blood.
Combat: A Dragon Bound has 4 basic battal stratiges, The Warrior, The Mage, The Healer, and The Ranger.
The Warrior: The Warrior is where the Dragon And Dragon Bound both engage in melee combat, not to complex.
The Mage: The Mage is where the Dragon Bound is casts spells, and the Dragon casts spells, uses its Breath weapon, or uses flyby attacks.
The Healer: The Healer is where the Dragon and Dragon Bound both fight and both heal periodically throughout the battle.
The Ranger: The Ranger is where the Dragon Bound uses a bow, and the Dragon uses flyby attacks.
Advancement: The Dragon Bound basically has a somewhat limited array of options. They can tack any class or Prestige Class as long as the ability’s can only be used if they involve the Dragon. They can also stay the course of Dragon Bound.

DRAGON BOUND IN THE WORLD
Fun! You think this is fun! This is a flight technique that will save your life 1 day!
- Jeremy the blunt, Dragon Bound trainer at the First school of Dragon Rights.
Notables: There are a few Dragon Bound that stand out in history:
Habitha is one of the least know Dragon Bound, because she was a women. But she was vital to the stability of this class. She was the Dragon Bound who convinced the wild Dragons to supplement the school with eggs with the promise of land without humans. They are week, but many and where slowly killing off the dragons.
Joanne was Habitha's mate and he, once he heard news of habitha’s triumph, he went to the human king. After 5 quick days of negotiations, he formed the treaty between the humans and Dragons. Although many empires have risen and fallen sense then, it has always been advantages to maintain the treaty with the Dragons.
Fredric the grand was the first Dragon Bound ever, and set up the schools to begin the teaching of apprentices. He named the school "The First school of Dragon Rights" to honor the Dragons, and as a constant reminder to what the Dragon Bound stand for.
There has only been 1 notably evil Dragon Bound by Dragon Bound standards, for Dragon Bound are commonly evil. His name was Kebler the wicked. He went mad when his Dragon Hatched, for it was deformed. That had a profound effect on his week mind. He blamed the whole Dragon race for the deformity and went on a rampage kill many a Dragon. It required 10 Dragon Bound attacking at the same time to tack him down, for in his madness he gained power. To this day the Dragons still mourn the lost and Dragon Bound are forbidden to speak of it.
Organizations: Ones a Dragon Bound has been chosen they go to the First school of Dragon Rights, this is where a Dragon Bound learns about The real Dragon Bound legacy. They learn how to read and write. How to act as a Dragon Bound, and may many more thing. The teachers are Retired Dragon Bound who live the legacy forever. Some Dragon Bound leave young to explore the world. Some stay longer to learn all there is to learn. Still some others never leave and become teachers. The school is usually located where only Dragons can Fly, and its not uncommon for giant Red and Gold Dragons side by side, for it is a neutral zone where all hatred is put aside so that the Dragons don’t have to fight for land. The young apprentices that learn at these schools gain a deep understanding about Dragons and the society more then any learned scholar could ever know, for it requires a Dragon Companion to understand.
The pecking orders of theses schools are:
The Grand Master, and any ancient Dragons that reside in the school
The teachers and there dragons, along with visiting Dragons
The cleaning and cooking staff because they are privileged to clean at such a prestige school
And finally the apprentices, the teach humility
DRAGON BOUND IN THE GAME
A Dragon Bound is most like a Duskblade then any other class.
NPC Reaction
Commoners: Commoners tend to be skeptical if a Dragon Bound says he’s a Dragon Bound(when the Dragon isn’t present). At which point he dose one of two things, he will either ask the Dragon Bound to prove it or dismiss the fact and think he’s a liar. If the Dragon Bound proves it (by showing him his Dragon) then the commoner dose one of two things. Either he get frightened and submissive or dismisses the fact and moves on. Giving a little bit of respect to the Dragon Bound and none to the Dragon.
Nobility: Nobility almost always believes a character when he clam’s to be a Dragon Bound, because they like ranting at anyone who is forthright with this information regardless of truth. They have heard the story’s thousands of times about the epic history of the class Dragon Bound, and tend to disbelieve it all. They mostly are pompous, with no respect towards the Dragon Bound or Dragon. Although a little intimidated by the Dragon, they think them as nothing more the pets for brainwashed popping jays.
Scholars: Scholars who have researched the class tend to act different towards a Dragon Bound ones they establish proof of their identity. But ones it is secured these scholars treat the Dragon Bound and his Dragon with respect, though not on par as an equal. They tend to be vary compliant with any requests a Dragon Bound might have, and a bit intimidated by the Dragon. At the same time asking about his relation ship with the Dragon and more obscure tidbits of information surrounding the classes creation (and taking notes all the wile).
Royalty: Royalty know a Dragon Bound is authentic for two reasons. First they know that to get an audience with the king they had to show their Dragon. Second, the Dragon is almost always present in the audience. They tend to respect the Dragon Bound more then Fear them because of their common visits to the Government, and their accomplishments with the Dragons.
Encounters: If a Dragon Bound meets another Dragon Bound, they do an assortment of things. They normally exchange the latest news on the kings and Dragons, tell of their latest adventure, or have nonlethal duels. Wile their Dragon converse with each other on what ever they feel like saying (normally about there hord), and have breathtaking Arial contests.
Adaptation: You don’t need a the school, or the Dragon land treaty to play a Dragon Bound. Nothing in here fits your world perfectly. I am not going to tell you how to play one, these are guidelines not set rules.
