Dragon Devotee

Description

Dragons hold a great fascination for some individuals, leading those folk into closer and closer association with the powerful race. Some individuals (primarily those related to sorcerers) feel the call more strongly, thanks to their dragon ancestry, occasionally even leading them to attempt to further awaken their blood and bring those traits to the fore. Learning more about dragons is the first step toward understanding them. A dragon devotee uses alchemical and magical means to enhance their dragon-like qualities.

Dragon devotees are most often fighters or rogues who desire the power and the glory of dragonkind. They need to have basic knowledge about dragons and understand their language. Comprehending the mindset of dragons lets you delve deeper into what it means to be a dragon and to help you become more like one of them.

NOTE: This class is universally treated as an undesirable and generally is likely to struggle within the setting of TDN, especially upon the acquisition of Natural Armor. What this inherently entails is a greater likelihood of permadeath. As such Dragon Devotee isn't recommended for new players or those that shy from hardship, confrontation, and conflict in storytelling.

  • Spellcasting: At 2nd level and 4th level, you gain spells per day, spells known, and an increase in caster level as if you had also gained a level in sorcerer.
