First I'll start off by saying that this is based around the Final Fantasy Dragoon, not the historical dragoon.
Second this is meant to be an Archetype for the fighter to prevent multi-classing with the fighter. The class is pretty similar to a fighter and I don't care to see how mixing the classes could be abused.
This is my first draft, so I'm definitely looking for input on the abilities. My main concerns are balance, especially compared to the fighter. My hope with this class is to have an option that deals only slightly less damage than a fighter, but adds a unique form of mobility.
I'm going to link the google docs to the class table and the class abilities.

Obviously the class is centered around the high jump ability, extending to incredible heights and distance by level 20. While it may seem 'unnatural' the concept here is the suspension of disbelief and magic associated with Pathfinder. I'm more worried about balance on the distance and height than should they have such an ability. This ability and its enhancements are designed to replace the weapon and armor training normally gained by a fighter.
It seemed less of a concern as higher level characters gain many flying options, potentially very early.
Dragoon talents were meant to replace the normal bonus feats. I tried to add a good amount to allow for differences between two people playing dragoons. I'm definitely looking for input on whether these abilities seem fair and balanced, and looking for abilities to add to this list.
I'm also concerned about any potential abuse that could be had with the Dragoon talents that I have missed. This is meant to mainly be compatible with Pathfinder, so abuses with 3.5 material are of less concern to me.
For those unfamiliar with the Final Fantasy Dragoon here is the wikipedia reference. Dragoon
And a reference on a Final Fantasy wiki Final Fantasy Dragoon
However, the flavoring is much less important than mechanical balance. This class is designed for a unique setting, so I'm not worried about Golarian influences RP wise on the class.
EDIT: Added an additional link to information on Dragoon's in Final Fantasy.
