Georgian (Character Kit)

Georgians
"St. George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon He drunk a pint of English ale Out of an English flagon."
(— G.K. Chesterton The Englishman)
This paladin kit is for those few who feel called upon to smite the greatest symbols of evil, the chromatic dragons.
Role: To be a shining example of the power of faith over darkness.
Secondary Skills: Groom, armorer. 
Weapon Proficiencies: Recommended:Lance, two-handed sword. 
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Bonus:Riding, land-based, religion. 
Nonweapon Proficiencies:
* Recommended: Dragon lore, weather sense, tracking.
Equipment: Lance, heavy warhorse, barding, and the best armor he can afford.
Distinctive Appearance: Georgians are primed for mounted combat. Green leather cloak, metal body shield, halo (optional).
Special Benefits: The most powerful protection that Georgians gain is their double-strength protection from drag- ons, 10’ radius. Dragons suffer a -2 to all attack rolls against the knight and those within the area of effect. In addi- tion, Georgians suffer no damage from the breath weapon of evil dragons.
Furthermore, Georgians can use a dragon call once per month, summoning a dragon to battle. Unless the dragon makes a successful morale check, it must leave its lair and fight the knight. Unlike the effects of a dragonslayer kits mortal challenge, however, this battle need not be fought on the ground.
A Georgians’ special paladin’s warhorse is utterly unaffected by dragon fear of any kind. In addition, it is usually shielded by its master’s protection from dragons ability. 
Special Hindrances: Because of their narrow focus, George characters lose the paladin’s protection from evil, protection from disease, and detection of evil intent abilities, as well as the ability to turn undead. They are protected only against dragons.
They must abide by all other paladin restrictions, such as tithing and keeping no more than 10 magical items. Because of their special skills, they are rarely asked to undertake missions for their order.
Wealth Options: Like other paladins, the Georgian starts the game with 5d4 (x10) gp.
