Dragoon

These fearless warriors stand against dragons, demons, fiends, and any other threats who would raise a hand against their homelands. Dragoons use their command of both the sky and ground to strike down their foes with deadly strikes. The Dragoon was a soldier born out of need in a distant land. Their homeland has been locked in a war against dragonkind for hundreds of years, leading to their soldiers to specialize in battling back against dragons. Their most notable ability is the Dragoon Jump, which is powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives upon completing their basic training.

The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body weight to drive any skyborn into the ground or cause great damage to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a Dragoon.

Dragon Sight

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn spikes that are fueled by your blood of the dragon points.

Spikes. You learn two spikes at 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. You can learn only one spike of the same tier level at the same time, you can replace a learned spike by the other one of the same level by taking 10 minutes per new spike after you finish a long rest.

You can replace one of your attacks for a spike. You can only use the same spike once per turn unless specified differently.

You learn two additional spikes at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each time you learn new spikes, you can also replace one spike you know with a different one of the same level.

 

Saving Throws. Some of your spikes require your target to make a saving throw to resist the spike’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Spike save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

 

Jump

At 3rd level as one of your attacks and by spending one point of blood of the dragon, you can make a high jump attack leaping 30ft. in the air and landing on a creature or an empty space in a 15ft radius from your point of origin. If you land on a creature, that creature makes a Dexterity saving throw, adding 1d6 bonus piercing damage to your attack. On a success, it takes half of the total damage. This bonus damage is increased to 2d6 the 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 18th level.

You may not use Jump on a creature that is higher than 30ft. nor does not have at least 5ft. of space above their head. After finishing your Jump, select an empty space adjacent to the target creature to land on. If the creature's size is Huge or larger, you may choose to attempt to land on the creature instead by making an Acrobatics check (difficulty determined by your DM). You do not take fall damage as a result of using the Jump ability.

You may use this spike once per turn.
