Dragoon

Standing on the edge of the very nature of fear and adrenaline the stout dwarf looks over the edge into the valley known as the valley of dragon. Hesitant the dwarf back peddles his steps slightly as beads of sweat roll down his brow into his bearded face. A gentle but firm hand falls upon his shoulders with a voice that can bring any man to their knees in admiration and calm. The white haired dark skinned elf clad in purple tabbard adored over a what is a brilliant winged full plate armor with a flowing black cape dropping to her calf's. "Huseal Lightguard you have come so far don't let this stop you, after all you don't want to live forever do you?" As the drow elf falls off the cliff side backwards disappearing into the clouds. The dwarf even more nervous now thinking living longer than 50 years would be nice, the dwarf then takes a deep sigh and makes the leap of faith as the air burst out around his feet as he makes his decent.

The Dragoons are a elite group of trained fighters that have devoted their lives to generally fighting off the evils of the chromatic dragons. Even though they train and focus on fighting dragons, the dragoon is a formidable fighter in any group. The dragoons natural ability to soar through the air makes it hard for enemies to lock them down. The dragoon functions in similarity to the monk in regardless of how their economy works, exchanging currency for particular abilities.

Dragoons are almost exclusively always wielding polearms or liked weapons, but this doesn't mean that a dragoon can not or will not use a shield or a sword. Becoming a dragoon is a life choice that many heros decided to take, it is not only a short lived profession but it is generally a 5 year death sentence if the training it self doesn't kill you. Many that choose to be come a dragoon do so for either pressing reasons or incredibly person reasons for doing so.
