Raiden Drake 08-06-07, 01:50 PM	Are there any dragoon builds that don't use maneuvers and all that from ToB? First we have search function again and second yes there are Dragoon builds without ToB. But I like ToB and I think it represent very well what a Dragoon should be able to do.
Legdiwena 08-06-07, 02:01 PM	Sorry, didn't realize search works again.
Mojo_Rat 08-06-07, 06:15 PM	Im a bit curious, how the name 'Dragoon' for a PrC translated into a super jumping spear wielding class?. Generally Dragoons are heavily armoured rifle armed cavarlry or Infantry that dismounts from horses (again musket armed) Or some sort of Military force used in opression. Not intending to criticize so much as not clear where the name comes from in thise case that you felt ToB was most suitable to represent it.

I know I'm going to get flame for this but the inspirations was final fantasy, it just happen to be mi favorite job from the game and iI haven't see a representation that I like so I just made my own. Besides the historical Dragoon is of no use in most regular campaigns because the lack of firearms. You know what lets forgot about the name dragoon... lets call it just a Spear Master
