[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7078224, member: 6716779"] The following is a prototype of a new class. I have not explained all of the abilities as a few of them shgould be self evident such as ASI's and extra attacks. This is outright inspired by the 3.5 DMG prestige class and I wanted another spell less class to play with and another d12 hit dice class that was not a Barbarian. ATM there are 2 archetypes. 1. Dragonkith. Built around a breath weapon and draconic transformation. This is the damage dealing build. 2. Dracolyte. Blessed by the Draconic deities this is kind of a spell less Paladin with a Draconic theme. More defensive than the Dragonkith. Both are built around short rest mechanics and the breath weapon utilised in different ways. This is my second crack at designing a full class after I posted by Warlord idea here a few weeks ago. The language is a bit technical atm, focused on the mechanics ATM. I also wanted it to be simple with no spells, spell, class points or dice to use.
