Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Dragon Lancer is proficient with all simple weapons and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and all shields.
Draconic: At first level the Dragon Lancer gains Draconic as a bonus language
Mounted Combat: At first level the Dragon Lancer gains Mounted Combat as a bonus feat.
Quest: At sixth level the Dragon Lancer gets to prove that he is a formidable fighter and has the right to posses his own Dragon. The DM can choose an objective for the Dragon Lancer to accomplish. This should be treated as a short adventure but the Dragon Lancer can not gain any experience for this adventure and he must do it by himself. If he fails this quest he may try again every time he gains a level. Once the Dragon Lancer accomplishes his quest he gains access to his own Dragon mount. The Dragon Lancer may then choose any Dragon of the same alignment to be his mount. The Dragon is a young dragon and stays that way for as long as the character uses him for a mount. However once the Dragon Lancer earns the amount of levels that a Dragon can cast spells at the Dragon can now cast those spells. The Dragon receives only half its normal HP, because he didn‘t grow up in the wild and is not as strong as a wild Dragon, but he gains the same amount of HP that the Dragon Lancer does. If a Dragon Lancer’s Dragon dies he may attempt another quest to earn a new Dragon.
Familiarity: At ninth level the Dragon Lancer becomes use to his Dragon and can almost predict what he is going to do. The Dragon Lancer gains a +2 bonus to balance checks to stay on the Dragon, and a +2 bonus to mounted attacks when riding the Dragon.
Dragon Sword: At eleventh level the Dragon Lancer gains a Dragon Sword. This sword does 2D6 damage and is treated as a +2 magical weapon. The Dragon Lancer chooses one sixth level Wizard spell that is stored in the Sword. Once per day the Dragon Lancer may cast this spell as a tenth level wizard. If anybody besides the Dragon Lancer wields this sword it does 1D6 damage and loses all special abilities.
Telepathic Connection: At thirteenth level the Dragon Lancer gains a Telepathic link to his mount. Because of this link the Dragon Lancer gains a +4 bonus to balance checks to stay on the Dragon, and gets a +4 bonus to mounted attacks when riding the Dragon.
Improved Dragon Sword: At fourteenth level the Dragon Lancer gets to add a seventh level wizard spell to his Dragon Sword and he now casts these spells as a twelfth level wizard
Master Dragon Sword: At seventeenth level the Dragon Lancer gets to add an eighth level wizard spell to his Dragon Sword and he now casts these spells as a fourteenth level wizard.
