Class: Dragoon
Dragoon
Overview
The Dragoon is an elite class of knight: the best of the best, trained specifically to fight dragons. They are a lance-wielding knight that developed an aerial style of combat so that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes. Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every ounce of their bodies behind the blow. A select few dragoons bind their souls to a dragon egg, creating an unbreakable bond between dragoon and dragon. Others infuse their own blood with that of a dragon, granting them their ancient magic and draconic abilities.Multiclassing
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be refelected in one of the standard class options. Refer to page 163 of the Player's Handbook for the full details of Multiclassing.Multiclassing Prerequisites
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one. The dragoon's prerequisites are shown in the Ability Score Prerequisites table.Ability Score Prerequisites

Targets within the area are resistant to damage dealt by such effects and make their saving throws against the effects with advantage, until the start of your next turn.

Dragoon Paths
A dragoon chooses a path when it rises from the ranks of initiate within the order. The path you follow reflects your choice.Dragon Master
The Dragon Master path embodies a power between the of the world dragons and man. Bound together as one, dragon and dragoon work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and its outlying areas. Emulating the Dragon Master path means committing yourself to this ideal, working in partnership with a dragon as its companion and friend.Dragon Companion
At 3rd level, you use your magic to create a powerful link with a unhatched dragon egg. As an action, you can magically summon the dragon that is bound to you. It appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of you. The dragon is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Dragon Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Your dragon's damage type is determined by the elemental type you chose for your Dragoon Path. In combat, the dragon shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take your bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated the dragon can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. The dragon remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the dragon again, or until you die. Anything the dragon was wearing or carrying is left behind when the dragon vanishes. Once you summon the dragon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.Soul Link
At 3rd level, your dragon companion gains a variety of benefits due to its soul link with you. Your dragon companion gains proficiency in Intimidation, Perception, and two skills of your choice.

For each level you gain after 3rd, your dragon companion gains an additional hit die and its hit point formula is calculated with this formala: 3+(5*DragoonLevel+its Constitution modifier). Your companion has a personality trait and a flaw that you can roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your ideal and its bond always contains the following:"The Dragoon who I am linked with is my most sacred companion, and I will protect them with my life."
Your dragon companion may share a soul link with you, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have to like you. You may add a statement to your bond describing your dragon companion's disposition towards you.

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your dragoon spells, since you learn your spells through an understanding of your dragon blood's magical properties. You can use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a dragoon spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifierSpell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Dragon Blood Spell Table
