#1 Yag007 Mar 28, 2015 12:45:04	someone on another board was asking about how to make a FF flavored dragoon and after reading everyoes idea I thought up this homebrew for him. Was curious how it looked to others balance wise. and if anyone had ideas for better wording for high jump.  the idea is to add an optional time delay like dragoons in FF have where they are "out of combat".   Dragoon (Fighter subclass)*As a dragoon, your High jump distance capability is calculated the same as your long jump using STR score rather than STR modifier.   lvl 3- Jump:  you may sacrifice 1 or your attacks during your turn to gain the effects of the jump spell as part of your move action that turn.  these effects do not count as a magical spell, but a spell-like effect.   lvl3- Dragon Heart: you know the draconic language and have advantage on saves against dragon fear effects   lvl7- Pouce: on a successful hit after activating the jump ability, the jumps target must succeed a strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The save for the throw is 8 + (your proficiency modifier) + (your strength modifier)   lvl10- High jump: your attacks after jumping do an additional weapon die of damage. Additionally, you may now sacrifice more than 1 or your attacks during your turn to augment the effects of your jump ability. For every attack sacrificed after the first, your jump will last a turn longer before you land at the target location.  when using high jump, you must always land in the space designated before the jump is activated and are considered out of combat until you land.   lvl15- Roar: Each target of the Dragoons choosing within 30 feet must 8+prof+STR saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. You gain 1 temporary HP for every target affected this way. At the end of each turn a target can attempt to shake off the frightened condition by repeating the saving throw as a free action. you can use this ability once per long or short rest. lvl18- Aerial Assault: Once per long rest, your jump or high jump can target each creature of your choice within a 15ft radius.

If the character was also an Air Genasi they could levitate as well, to get that 'hover in the air' effect.
