Draconic Warrior

Draconic Warriors (sometimes called Dragon Knights) are fighters who have drawn on and refined the powers of dragons - whether this power comes from a blood pact, a deal with a dragon, ancestral heritage, a learned or developed power, or some other source, sometimes a power develops without a connection to these sources, though this is rare. One who is proven to wield the abilities of the dragon warriors within a knightly order is typically placed into a separate regiment of fighters with similar abilities. These powerful fighters are known to imbue their strikes with the elemental powers of a dragon, engulfing a sword in flames, charging an arrow with lightning, or spewing acid from a hammer to name a few.

Draconic Warriors typically have an identifying physical feature or two that reveals the existence of their abilities, this may be the growth of scales on various parts of their body, dragon horns on one’s head, claws, draconic eyes, or some other draconic feature. Dragon warriors are known to develop various abilities within themselves, ranging from elemental attacks, to flight, and even the ability to temporarily shift into the form of a dragon.
