Dragoon

Dragoons seek to rob dragons and other such foes of their advantage of flight by pursuing them to the very heavens themselves. These esteemed knights have developed a unique aerial form of combat, that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes. Many achieve this through ancient rituals involving the imbibing of dragon’s blood, but others find more obscure means to gain this power.

Taking to the sky as to pursue their for, they descend from on high with every ounce of their momentum they can muster behind each blow. It is this persuing force and destructive power that characterizes the Dragoon.

Dragoons use a combination of weapon arts, usually called thrusts and jumping attacks oftern called dives or leaps. The former allow the Dragoon to enhance their effectiveness with their weapons to better control the flow of battle. The later are used to pursue foes even should they attempt to flee to the skies and limit their options for manouvering.

Surges. You learn three surges of your choice. Many surges enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one surge per action each turn (e.g. if a surge says it is done on a weapon attack you can only use one per attack action even if you have multiple weapon attacks you can make). You learn two additional surges of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you level up in this class, you can also replace one surge you know with a different one.
