| The class needs a jump boosting item to be really effective, which is a bit of a downer. It doesn't have a lot of breadth compared to lots of other VH classes, but it's short enough to fit into most other martial builds so that can be forgiven.
Really though, a five level detour is worth it to fall a hundred feet through a building and still murder a monster at the bottom. Good times... |

| All the cool things about Genowhirl's original PrC with most of what I generally think of as the less important dragoon abilities (dragon breath, most notably) removed in favor of condensing it to five levels. I think this is a nice improvement on an already cool PrC, so what's not to like? |

Balance[edit]
Very high? Not seeing it. Am I missing something? - Tarkisflux Talk 15:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Has the scale really moved up that much? Well, it can dish out lots of damage with the auto-x4 critical, high jump checks, and the level 1 ability of tripling. That said, it's not very versatile. I thought it was enough of a big trick to put it "Very High" though. Surgo 17:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- It hasn't moved up at all that I'm aware of, but versatility was always one of the big things up there I thought. Is it doing that much more damage than a flask rogue to make up for it's substantially smaller versatility? - Tarkisflux Talk 18:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Shouldn't Slaying Jump say "once per round" or something of that nature? Or do you mean that they can jump immediately before making a normal full attack action? --Foxwarrior 00:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note, I've clarified that. Surgo 03:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- This is more of a nitpick, but every instance of "spear" in this really ought to be replaced with "polearm" or something of the like. As is, a Dragoon can't use a Halberd, Trident, or Glaive for their stuff. Which is silly. --Undead_Knave (talk) 08:08, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
