Dragonsworn class

# RPG Class: Dragonsworn

### Description

"Rumors say that the first dragonsworn were the forefathers of the dragonspawn race. This is, of course, just a rumor." - Dark Factions, Pg. 61

The dragonsworn are the oathbound protectors and servants of dragons. The dragonflights have long seen the latent potential in the younger races of Azeroth, and this potential is sometimes recognized in the form of becoming sworn to a dragon, or sometimes a group of dragons. From then on, the dragonsworn will serve and follow their dragon master(s) to the best of their ability. In exchange for this servitude, the dragon can choose to impart certain gifts upon their dragonsworn. These gifts take on many forms, and vary from flight to flight.

Normally the gift takes the form of something personal or related to the dragonflight in question. A bronze dragon might give their dragonsworn the weapon of a hero long thought dead, while a blue dragon might grant their sworn knowledge of ancient arcane secrets. However the rarest form of gift that can be given, is to be granted the essence of that dragonflight. Prior to the Cataclysm, dragonsworn were devastating forces on the battlefield, and shared the titanic essence of their masters. However following the Cataclysm, while still remarkably strong, the dragonsworn are not quite what they used to be.

### Powers and Abilities

The powers and abilities of the various flights can vary, and are normally representative of what the dragonflight believes in, guards, or controls. That being said, dragonsworn have the following innate abilities, that grow stronger as their master empowers them further:

* Possesses tougher than normal skin, comparable to scales of varying toughness.
* Slightly superior senses of smell, hearing, and sight. Including the ability to see in dim, but not total darkness.
* Slightly increased physical strength.

While the specific traits and qualities a dragonsworn might inherit vary from flight to flight, certain things are the same. Many dragonsworn excel particularly well in specific trades, as their dragonflights will grant them ancient knowledge of techniques and secrets related to their trade. Others might pursue the magical affinity of their dragonflight, allowing them to cast spells beyond their normal capabilities. This is normally related to their flight, allowing a red dragonsworn to potentially ressurect a fallen ally, or a black dragonsworn to conjure a powerful earthquake.

Dragonsworn can rise from any class or profession, and thus wear and use a near infinite variety of armor and weapons. Their abilities normally synergize with their dragonflight, with black dragons being smiths or dark shaman, while blue dragonsworn tend to be mages and scholars.

[Mastery] After having served their master for long periods of time, and become suffused with the essence of their dragonflgiht, dragonsworn will begin to show signs of mutation. They will begin to take on the traits and qualities of their dragon masters, growing such things as claws, scales, functional wings, and even the ability to breath their flights breath weapon.

### Notes and Other Information

Night Elves are the most common dragonsworn race, due to their long lived nature, and their close ties to the dragonflights. The Black and Twilight dragonflights are the exception, preferring no race over the other.

The only dragonflights that can produce dragonsworn are the five primary flights (Red, Green, Bronze, Black, and Blue), as well as the following flights: Nightmare, Infinite, and Twilight.

Mutations require an application.
