Dragoon
The Dragoon is an elite class of knight: the best of the best, trained specifically to fight dragons. They are a lance-wielding knight that developed an aerial style of combat so that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes. Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every ounce of their bodies behind the blow. A select few dragoons bind their souls to a dragon egg, creating an unbreakable bond between dragoon and dragon. Others infuse their own blood with that of a dragon, granting them their ancient magic and draconic abilities.

Multiclassing
Multiclassing
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be refelected in one of the standard class options. Refer to page 163 of the Player's Handbook for the full details of Multiclassing.Multiclassing Prerequisites
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one. The dragoon's prerequisites are shown in the Ability Score Prerequisites table.Ability Score Prerequisites
| Class | Ability Score Minimum |
|---|---|
| Dragoon | Strength 13 and Constitution 13 |
Multiclass Spellcasting
Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class. Spell Slots. If you have the Dragon's Blood feature, add a third of your levels (rounded down) in the Dragoon class when determining your spell slots.Vault
At 1st level, while you aren't wearing heavy armor, you can vault as a bonus action, moving an amount of feet both laterally and vertically up to the amount shown in the Vault Distance column of the Dragoon table. This movement must be in a straight line and doesn't cost your movement. If you collide with an object during this movement, your vault stops and you fall. Attacks of opportunity have disadvantage against you while you're vaulting. Additionally, you have resistance to damage from falling an amount of feet that's less than your Vault Distance. At 10th level, you are immune to this damage instead of resistant.Polearm Specialist
You have practiced extensively with polearms, which are the following weapons: javelins, spears, pikes, glaives, halberds, tridents, lances, and quarterstaffs. You have a +2 bonus to damage rolls with polearms, and any polearm you wield gains the reach property if it doesn't already have it.Aerial Assault
Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to drop down upon your foes with devastating power. You gain the ability to use the aerial assault. Aerial Assault. If you make at least one weapon attack with a polearm immediately after vaulting, you strike as you descend. The first of these attacks that hits deals 1d4 extra damage for every 10 feet you vaulted. The extra damage die becomes 1d6 at 9th level and 1d8 at 14th level. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.Lancet
At 2nd level, you can demoralize your foes whilst invigorating yourself. As an action, you can make a melee spell attack (using Constitution as your ability modifier) against a creature within your reach. On a hit, you deal 1d8 + your Consititution modifier necrotic damage and regain an amount of hit points equal to the damage dealt. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses after a long rest.Draconic Knowledge
At 3rd level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to Dragons. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track dragons, Intelligence checks to recall information about them, as well as advantage on all saving throws against effects created by dragons or their lair actions. Additionally, you learn to read, write, and speak Draconic.Dragoon Path
Also at 3rd level, you choose a path that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. Choose Dragon Master, Dragon's Soul, or Dragon's Blood, all detailed at the end of the class description. The path you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, and 17th level. Some of your features require your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:Path Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
Ancient Circle
Starting at 6th level, you have developed defensive magic to protect you and those around you from area of effect attacks. When you are subjected to an effect, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or a Lightning Bolt spell, that allows you to make a Dexterity Saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to create a magical sigil on the ground in a 10-foot radius around. Targets within the area are resistant to damage dealt by such effects and make their saving throws against the effects with advantage, until the start of your next turn. At 15th level, the radius increases to 30 feet. You have one use of this feature, which is replenished when you finish a short or long rest. At 15th level, you have two uses.Dragon Heart
Starting at 13th level, your mind and body become inured to the dragons you hunt, granting you some of their properties. You become immune to the frightened condition, and you gain resistance to the elemental type you chose for your Dragoon Path.Relentless Combatant
Starting at 18th level, whenever you score a critical hit with an Aerial Assault or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you may immediately make one melee weapon attack against each enemy creature within your reach. Additionally, your weapon attacks with polearms now score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.One with the Sky
At 20th level, Your Constitution and Strength increases by 2. Your maximum for these score is now 22. In Addition, you may use your Aerial Assault an unlimited number of times.subclass options:

Dragoon Paths
A dragoon chooses a path when it rises from the ranks of initiate within the order. The path you follow reflects your choice.Dragon Master
The Dragon Master path embodies a power between the of the world dragons and man. Bound together as one, dragon and dragoon work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and its outlying areas. Emulating the Dragon Master path means committing yourself to this ideal, working in partnership with a dragon as its companion and friend.Dragon Companion
At 3rd level, you use your magic to create a powerful link with a unhatched dragon egg. As an action, you can magically summon the dragon that is bound to you. It appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of you. The dragon is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Dragon Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Your dragon's damage type is determined by the elemental type you chose for your Dragoon Path. In combat, the dragon shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take your bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated the dragon can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. The dragon remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the dragon again, or until you die. Anything the dragon was wearing or carrying is left behind when the dragon vanishes. Once you summon the dragon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.Soul Link
At 3rd level, your dragon companion gains a variety of benefits due to its soul link with you. Your dragon companion gains proficiency in Intimidation, Perception, and two skills of your choice.

For each level you gain after 3rd, your dragon companion gains an additional hit die and its hit point formula is calculated with this formala: 3+(5*DragoonLevel+its Constitution modifier). Your companion has a personality trait and a flaw that you can roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your ideal and its bond always contains the following:"The Dragoon who I am linked with is my most sacred companion, and I will protect them with my life."
Your dragon companion may share a soul link with you, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have to like you. You may add a statement to your bond describing your dragon companion's disposition towards you.

The Dragon's Blood Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot. Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher.
