Scale-forged Warrior

Occasionally, a veteran warrior deems a younger hot-blooded fighter worthy of the power bestowed by infusing their arms and armor with the essence of draconic might.  These few become known as the Scale-forged.  With the knowledge given to them by their mentor, a broken drunken soldier, or even occasionally in a tattered tome or carved into the stone wall of some ancient dungeon this warrior is able to awaken the residual draconic essence left in dragon scales.  With smithy tools these destined few can work scales found or acquired into their weapons and armor to great and devastating effect.
