Dragon Slayer

D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules

by Eduardo & Kukoc

In the world of Krynn, dangerous dragons fly all over the sky. Some are evil, some are good, but all share one thing - they all have people hunting them, the dragon slayers. The dragon slayer is a devoted and furious warrior that lives only for bringing death to his hated enemies, he is moved by an internal rage almost always originated by a horrid experience involving dragons, or sometimes by faith.

Feared and lonely, this character brings either bad luck or hope.
Hit Die: d12.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the dragon slayer prestige class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A dragon slayer is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, all types of armor, and shields.

Favored Dragon Enemy: At 1st level and every odd level beyond, the dragon slayer chooses a dragon type as his favored enemy. This is just like the ranger's favored enemy ability. At every odd level, he must choose a different dragon.

Detect Draconic Creature: The heightened senses of the dragon slayer are able to automatically detect any draconic creature in a 60-foot radius. To use this power, the dragon slayer must concentrate for one round.

Damage Bonus: A dragon slayer that makes a successful attack roll against a dragon receives a damage bonus equal to his level.

Improved Resist Dragonfear: At 4th level, a dragon slayer gains the Improved Resist Dragonfear feat.

Fearless Strike (Su): At 6th level, a dragonslayer becomes so mad about killing his enemies that once per day, when reduced to 10% of his hit point total, he may choose to hit the dragon with a powerful strike. When the dragon slayer uses this ability he loses one-half of his Constitution score for the rest of the day as he screams a baneful sound of hate and courage. Everyone who listens to the scream automatically gains a +2 bonus on Will saves against dragonfear. The dragonslayer adds his level as an attack bonus, and twice his level as a damage bonus. For example, an 8th-level dragon slayer sees himself in danger against a red dragon. In hate, he uses this ability, so in the same round he adds +8 to his attack roll and +16 to his damage roll.

Death Curse (Su): When a dragon slayer meets his final death at the hands of a draconic creature, the dragon slayer's will to kill the enemy gets even stronger and the dragonslayer explodes in a burst of rage and hatred. Any dragon slayer with this power that watches a friend or fellow dragon slayer die in combat against a dragon curses that dragon. For the rest of the scene, the dragon suffers a -4 penalty on attack rolls, AC, and saves.

Fear Aura: At 10th level, the dragon slayer is an expert at killing all creatures draconic. He gains his own frightful presence, whereby dragons and draconians with less than one-half the dragon slayer's Hit Dice must make Will saves (DC 10 + dragon slayer's class level + dragon slayer's Cha modifier) or despair for 6d6 rounds. The dragon slayer's fear aura has a 60-foot radius.
