REQ: Class kit request....

    I got a kick out of the Dragoon class description in FF11, so I was wondering if anyone'd be willing to make a equivalent for BG2?


    Dragon Knight/Dragoon:
    These fearless warriors have devoted their lives to serving/working with evil or good dragons, depending on alignment, and vice versa for the types of dragons they fight, so much so that they gain the ability to summon a minor dragon of their own each day as a combat ally. Due to their preference for fighting large creatures, they tend to prefer using two-handed or distance weapons, as well as using heavier, more tough armor.

    Pros:
    Immune to dragon fear
    +1 hit/damage against dragons every 5 levels
    Starts with 20% resistance to dragon breath types(this possible to make?), and gains another 5% every 6 levels
    Has the ability Summon Wyvern 1x per day, like the wizard spell, except as the dragoon levels up, the wyvern gets stronger(If there's any way to make it so every 3-4 levels the wyvern's stats increase?)
    +2 AC bonus against dragons at Level 1, +1 increase every 5 levels

    Cons:
    Must be human, elf, half elf, or half-orc
    Must be of lawful alignment
    Can only use the following weapons: Spear, Halberd, Longbow, Two Handed sword, Crossbow, Bastard Sword, Longsword
    May not put points into 2 weapon ability
    May not use Leather armor


    Sooo...anyone wanna make this? If anyone can make the Wyvern-that-increases-slowly in strength, that'd rule.

    Sounds a bit overpowered. Sort of like having a warior who can't use daggers, robes, short swords and all the other weapons and equipement they couldn't use anyway.

    I don't think its overpowered since the abilities only apply to dragons. In fact, it maybe a little underpowered; dragons are all too rare.

    I'm mainly looking for a way to get a summoned wyvern that gets tougher over time. :)

    That's a good sounding class there. I was wondering if it was possible to get a barbarian kit in there as well:

    pro's
    pick pockets a bit weaker than Bard
    stealth like a stalker
    capability to wield 2hs with grand mastery
    Rage (of course)
    same other barb stuff

    con's
    Can't wear anything greater than (one under plate armor)
    Can't use any other weapons but 2hs (that's the point ;) )
    Hit die is only that of a clerics
    same other barb stuff

    do you really think that being restricted to the most powerful weapons is a con? immunity to dragon's fear?WAY too overpowered, I think.

    It's not the most powerful weapon, and the class is being requested for roleplaying. And a restriction to only one weapon is a HUGE con. You don't understand what it is to only be able to use a single weapon. It means you won't be able to master it until you're nearing your XP cap... also you can't use other weapons that might otherwise be useful to you, (ie: you can't put a daystar in a quick slot to be able to use it's special ability).

    Try not to condem classes before thinking things through ;)
