Smite Dragon: The Wyrmslayer chooses one dragon type as his sworn enemy. When fighting a dragon of this type, he may apply his Charisma bonus to hit and Wyrmslayer level to damage up to 3+ Cha modifier times per day

Divine Shield: At 2nd level, the Wyrmslayer’s deity enchants his shield to protect him from dragonbreath. Anytime the Wyrmslayer makes a successful saving throw versus dragonbreath while holding his shield, he takes no damage rather than half.

Dragon Strike: Beginning at 2nd level, the Wyrmslayer gains a +1 to hit and damage against all dragons. This bonus also counts as an equivalent magical weapon against the dragon’s damage reduction. This bonus increases by one every 2 levels to a maximum of +5 at 10th level.

Extra Smiting: The Wyrmslayer may take the Extra Smiting feat from Defenders of the Faith and apply it to his Smite Dragon ability.

Code of Conduct: A Wyrmslayer is held to the same Code of Conduct as a Paladin and loses all his powers if he violates it.
