Basically just what the title says. Tell me if there are any issues or if anything seems out of place or just a bit much.

Class skills: add perception to the draconic warriors class skills.

Draconic heritage
The blood of dragons flows through your veins and empowers you in a number of ways.
At 1st level, you must select one of the chromatic or metallic dragon types.
This choice cannot be changed. A number of your abilities grant
resistances and deal damage based on your dragon type.
This table is found in the draconic sorcerer bloodline.

Draconic Skin (Ex)
At 2nd level you gain resistance 5 to your element.
You also gain a +1 natural armor bonus. At 9th level
your resistance improves to 10. Your natural armor improves by one
every four levels after 2 to a maximum of +5 at level 18.
this replaces bravery

Senses of the dragon (Ex)
The draconic warrior gains and even surpasses the senses of a dragon.
At 3rd level a draconic warrior gains darkvision 60 feet and lowlight vision.
If a draconic warrior already has these abilities their range is doubled.
He also gains bonus to perception equal to half his class level.
At 8th level you gain the scent ability. At 16th level the
draconic warrior is under the constant effect of true sight.
This replaces armor training 1

Breath Weapon (Su)
at 7th level, you gain a breath weapon that you can use 1+ con mod/day.
This breath weapon deals 1d6 points of damage of your energy type per draconic warrior level.
Those caught in the area of the breath can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage.
The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your draconic warrior level + your Constitution modifier.
The shape of the breath weapon depends on your dragon type (as indicated on the above table).
This replaces armor training 2

Dragon Wings (Ex)
At 11th level you can grow leathery wings from your back as a swift action.
You can use these wings for 1 minute per draconic warrior level.
These minutes do not need to be spent consecutively but they must be spent in minute long increments
these wings give you a fly speed of 60 feet with average maneuverability. At 15th level,
your fly speed increases to 80 feet with good maneuverability.
this replaces armor training 3 and 4

Dragon Blood (Su)
At 19th level your draconic heritage grows stonger.
you gain immunity to paralysis, sleep,
and damage from your energy type.
You also gain blindsense with a range of 60 feet.
this replaces armor mastery.

True Dragon (Ex)
At 20th level a draconic warrior becomes a perfect
mesh of humanoid and dragon. He gains DR/5 magic
and spell reistance equal to his level +10. He can also use
his Dragon Wings ability for a limitless amount of time.
This replaces the bonus feat gained at level 20.
