Dragon Warrior, 2nd Variant (3.5e Class)

Dragon Warrior

A Dragon Warrior gains power based off his dragon ancestor. A Dragon Warrior gains abilities that even half-dragons arn't able to use.

Making a Dragon Warrior

Credit to class goes to http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Dragon_Warrior,_Variant_(3.5e_Class) I simply made this edited version for a playable PC version.

A Dragon Warrior makes a good fighter replacement, however it's breath weapon can be devastating to allies in combat. The most important ability for a Dragon Warrior is constitution, guaranteeing a high amount of hit points. The next abilities would Str and Dex. Half-Dragons can become Dragon Warriors, along with anyone else with a dragon ancestry. Those of other ancestry become the same as a half dragon by following this path. All Dragon Warriors know Draconic.

Fire Dragon warrior were trained under the Red or Gold Dragons to wield flames as an extension of their own body. Like their Draconic teachers, they are hotheaded and incredibly confident in their power, making excellent fighters. They've inherited the Red Dragon's love of gold and treasure, and as they progress will begin to give a warm glow (+5 resist Cold). They are a fighting class through and through. They draw their power from elemental fire and can survive the hottest temperatures without effect.

They can survive under the most intense pressures of the ocean floor.

They slowly gain a lighter sheen to themselves and eventually will be floating continuously above the ground.

In a rage, Dragon warrior temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but he takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases the Dragon warrior hit points by 4 points per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. (These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are).
