Dragon Warrior. A Homebrew Class. Complete

[webguy2003]

I made this class as a solution to the problem of Half-Dragons being too powerful for regular Non-CR groups. I feel that this class is balanced with the core pathfinder classes. If you think any of the abilities are too powerful for your or your GMs game, then change then to fit.
I hope you all enjoy the class.

Wouldn't the Dragon Disciple already be sufficient or are you trying to get a different feel?

I know it's a PrC but is this essentially Dragon Disciple as a Base Class?

Dragon Disciple was too caster based for me. It works if your a caster anyway but doesnt fit as a melee based class, its a caster/melee hybrid.

Ok, I've looked it over and the spell selection/spell uses seems fair.

Is there a reason most of the skills are Constitution based? This'll make the class need to split between Str, Dex and Con.

You've managed to balance it out with the base attack bonus so all in all this seems a solid build.

I'd need to run some NPCs with it first to really see but for now, nothing screams broken at me.

Good job.

I used the Dragon Shaman from 3.5 for some of the abilities, either taking the ability as it was or tweeking it abit, and they were all con based. As far as the Spliting between Str, Dex, and Con; you can wear heavy armor so dex isn't really important, and I made the natural armor bonus you get in Dragon form to be on par with the physical armor you lose in that form.

Then good, this sounds great to me!

Clarified/inserted the rulings to some of the class based abilities (ie pathfinder rulings and my rulings for balancing purposes).

bump

[webguy2003]

For those that like this class but arent allowed to use homebrew classes, the Alchemist from Advanced Players Guide can do similiar things and in some areas is abit better.

OK, made some corrections to the class. Links are always up to date.

Size Increase: was not supposed to be straight to large, just 1 size category. So it would be, small to med and med to large.

Changing Type: moved to be apart of the Dragon Form ability granted at lvl 14.

Changed mutliclass resriction to: Dragon warriors who gain lvl(s) in another class may not again gain lvls as a dragon warrior.

Natural Weapon Damage: The damage listed in table 1-1 is for a medium creature.
