Protect the world or begin a reign of terror with your dragon companion at your side!
“Up above the clouds, a high elf in thick layers and protective eye wear rides a silver dragon, a message cylinder that will affect the history of nations clipped securely to her belt.
A brass dragon and her human companion plod across the scorched sands of the desert in the direction of an ancient ruin that legend says contains enough treasures to satisfy even their combined avarice.
A red dragon descends from the night sky, carrying a dragonborn of the very same hue. The dragon spits flame, igniting the fabric tents below, as both dragon and rider relish the screams of fear and pain from their enemies.
Dragonbound are humanoids who, by tradition or chance, find their fates intrinsically intertwined with the destiny of a dragon. The two become partners, bound to a closeness exceeding even that of family by links of ritual and magic.”
This is the full version of the Dragonbound class, and contains the following:
- The full 20-level Dragonbound class progression.
- No less than 5 archetypes—the Greedbound, Horizonbound, Lorebound, Saddlebound, and Warbound (descriptions below).
- 34 Breath Abilities
- 31 Bond Boons
- Guidance for using new and converted dragons from Spilled Ale Studios’ Draconomicon as dragon companions!
The Greedbound
When a dragonbond is formed with either or both of its participants being motivated even in part by greed, sometimes the magic of that bonding becomes perverted into something else. These dragonbound pairs possess a unique magic that is vampiric in nature, able to absorb the souls of their deceased foes and increase their own power.
Most commonly Greedbound are evil aligned anyway, and such pairs embrace their twisted power. Good aligned greedbound often spend their their contracted period in penance for their moment of sun, seeking out powerful evil entities to defeat and absorbing their souls to diminish the evils in the world.
The Horizonbound
For your dragon and yourself, life is all about the journey. You take every opportunity to wander and to explore, and, as soon as your dragon is able to carry you, to fly.
The Lorebound
Your dragon and yourself are interested in scientific discovery or ancient secrets. You venture far and wide in your quest for knowledge, knowing that the two of you have both the power and the intellect to bring about great change in the world. Whether that change is ultimately for good or evil, only the two of you can say.
The Saddlebound
For you even more than other dragonbound, the combination is greater than the whole. Your dragon companion and yourself train every day to make sure you are always in sync, and you wait eagerly for the day your companion is large enough to ride. When that day comes, you will truly fly and fight as one!
The Warbound
Your dragon and yourself live for battle, or perhaps through necessity you battle to live. Maybe you fight because the two of you have the power to do good in the world and save others. Maybe you just want to watch the world burn.
