Dragoon

My weapon is thy focus-- you are my victim of the spirits that flow within me.

Dragoon
Spiritual beings that have taken the road of divinity. They are aspiring healers, and powerful defenders.

Adventuring
Dragoons are spiritual travelers, finding roads that never existed or that cannot be seen by the naked eye. They use the elements to guide their way through countless situations and to prohibit the spread of corruption.

Characteristics
As they are spiritual, they rely on combat tactics to play out their role. They use their weapons mostly as a Spell Focus, giving them more control over many of their melee or burst attack spells. Many Dragoons are good-aligned, but some have become evil-aligned, which in turn makes them become Warlocks.

Races
Even though humans are also spiritually guided, they still do not have the capability to wield the elements. Their natural structure prevents them from doing so.

Other Classes
Even though Dragoons don't find themselves with the military very much, they actually function very well with the Argonauts, since a magical striker and a magical defender goes well together.

Role
Defender -- A Dragoon's purpose in the world is to protect and deter enemy forces away from key sites and important figures-- at least, that was their original purpose. Many dragoons today are spiritual leaders for hire.

Game Rule Information
The Dragoon has the following statistics--

Abilities
Many Dragoons rely on their magic and their weapons to deal out damage, but their weapons can also function as shields when the right spell is cast. Many dragoons have a good Strength score to dish out some power. Intelligence gives them a wide variety of spells and helps them decide which ones to use. Wisdom is another helpful ability, because it gives them unique class bonuses whenever they use a spell, and it also provides a bonus to the spell's attack power when cast into their weapon.

The Dragoon: Tables
Number of Spells Cast= Spells per Day + Intelligence modifier

A Dragoon can cast spells from any two spellcasting domains, like the Spellcaster. And like the Argonaut, they gain the benefit of acquiring domain-specific spells. Unlike other spellcasting classes, they do not gain the benefit of bonus Spells per Day or bonus Spells Cast.

A Dragoon cannot cast 0-level spells. 0-level spells are cantrips specific to the Spellcaster and Sage classes.
