In exchange for the Leap attack, a dragoon knight suffers the Charge penalties for the next two rounds.&nbsp; Also, upon landing, the dragoon knight must succeed a Reflex save (DC 1/2 of Distance travelled) or be flat-footed for the round. A Spot check (DC 20) can permit the player to receive a hint on the height of the target. The player must then guess what the height would be.Another note, a Dragoon who loses his spear cannot use his Leap ability.</blockquote>

[QUOTE="Angelsboi, post: 571048, member: 1219"] [b]Dragoon Knight[/b] The Dragoon Knights are a powerful force in the world of Ry'ia. Many rulers employ them for their armies. They come fromt he Order of Dragoon, a mystical, secret sect that no one knows where it originated or even is. People who need to employ the dragoon knights send word of their plight and soon enough, a dragoon knight comes calling. [b]Adventures:[/b] Most dragoon knights see adventures as adventures. They seek out training and self-discipline while trying to fulfill their contract to their employer. [b]Characteristics:[/b] All dragoon knights honor their contracts and never back out of it. They are stoic and always thinking. Some speak only when spoken too, but all dragoon knights share one quality. They are dealy with a lance-like weapon. [b]Alignment:[/b] Dragoon knights may be of any alignment. Good dragoon knights follow the teachings of the Order of Dragoon and help others where they may while fulfilling their contracts. Lawful dragoon knights follow the laws of Dragoon first and foremost and then the laws of their contractor second. Evil dragoon knights twist the laws to their own desires and will backstab their contractor if a better offer comes up. [b]Religion:[/b] Dragoon Knights worship one of three forgotten gods. Bahamut, the god of metallic dragons; Tiamat, the goddess of chromatic dragons or Sasha, the goddess of gem dragons. All dragoon knights worship one of these three deities, which, dictates their alignment of good, evil or neutral. They usually worship another god to cover up their true deity. [b]Background:[/b] Dragoon knights are all born and raised normally. When they come of age and show talent, a dragoon knight comes to the childs parents and ask them to take the child for training with the Order. The child very rarely sees his parents ever again. [b]Races:[/b] Anyone can become a dragoon knight if they have the potential. There is no racial boundries in the Order of Dragoon. [b]Other Classes:[/b] A dragoon knight can not focus on becoming anything other than a dragoon knight. If the dragoon knight chooses to make a pilgrimage to find their forgotten god, they can choose to become a dragoon priest, a dragoon knight who keeps all his abilities and classes over to cleric. [b]Game Rule Information Abilities:[/b] Strength is a good quality for a dragoon knight to have as it deals with their jump ability. Dexterity and Constitution are also good stats to have for a higher armor class and higher hit points.

The dragoon knight gains an additional bonus feat at 3rd level and every three levels thereafter (6th, 9th, 12th, etc.). These bonus feats must be drawn from the following list: Ambidexterity, Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes, Dodge (Mobility, Spring Attack), Expertise (Improved Disarm, Improved Trip, Whirlwind Attack), Improved Critical*, Improved Initiative, Mantis Leap, Power Attack (Cleave, Improved Bull Rush, Sunder, Great Cleave), Quick Draw, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization*. Some of the bonus feats available to a dragoon knight cannot be acquired until the fighter has gained one or more prerequisite feats; these feats are listed parenthetically after the prerequisite feat. A dragoon knight must still meet all prerequisites for a feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums. [i]*Weapon Specialization:[/i] On achieving 4th level or higher, as a feat the dragoon knightmay take Weapon Specialization. Weapon Specialization adds a +2 damage bonus with a chosen weapon. The fighter must have Weapon Focus with that weapon to take Weapon Specialization. The dragoon knight may take this feat as a bonus feat or as a regular one. [b]Leap:[/b] At 1st level, the dragoon knight gains the ability of leap of the clouds. His jumping is no longer limited by his height. Also, at 1st level, a dragoon knight can declare a leap attack. A leap attack is a Charge attack that the dragoon knight can perform in any direction, be it skyward, vertically, or even upside-down. Like a Charge, a Leap attack requires the dragoon knight to move at least 10 feet (at most, double move), but this requirement is easily circumvented by the fact that a dragoon knight needs to leap upwards for at least ten feet before they can descend as an attack. A Leap attack provokes an attack of opporunity ONLY from the target of the attack, and only at the end of the attack. In addition to usual Charge benefits, the dragoon knight deals double damage when using a his weapon as if he were mounted. Lastly, the dragoon knight deals an extra amount of damage (+1d4 at first level, +1d4 every additional five levels) as well as a +1 attack bonus for attacking from a higher vantage point. Note that opponents with reach can strike at the dragoon knight only AFTER the attack, effectively losing the benefits of their reach. A dragoon knight must move at least 10 feet + the target's height to get the benefits of their special attack. If they don't, it counts as a miss. Example: A dragoon knight must leap 48 feet vertically if he wishes to attack a monster that is 38 feet high. Evidently, Large creatures and even bigger ones might require the dragoon knight to get close enough normally so they can jump attack the next turn, using double move distance to get high enough. In exchange for the Leap attack, a dragoon knight suffers the Charge penalties for the next two rounds. Also, upon landing, the dragoon knight must succeed a Reflex save (DC 1/2 of Distance travelled) or be flat-footed for the round. A Spot check (DC 20) can permit the player to receive a hint on the height of the target. The player must then guess what the height would be. Another note, a Dragoon who loses his spear cannot use his Leap ability. [/QUOTE]
