Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Dragon Ravager.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Dragon Ravager is proficient with whatever they were already proficient with.

Draconic Rage Ex: Once per day per dragon ravager level, a dragon ravager is able to fly into a screaming blood frenzy, much like a barbarian. It temporarily gains a +6 bonus to Strength, a +6 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but it takes a –2 penalty to Armor class. This ability otherwise resembles the rage ability of the barbarian.

Fling Ex: A dragon ravager may use its Awesome Blow to send creatures flying back through the air 25 feet instead of the usual 10 feet. Creatures flung like this take 2d6 points of bludgeoning damage, 4d6 if striking an obstacle.

Enhanced Breath Weapon Su: The damage dealt by the dragon ravager’s breath weapon improves by two damage dice, and the elapsed time between uses decreases to 1d3 rounds.

Spell Rage Su: As a free action, a raging dragon ravager can use up one of his daily spell slots to deal bonus damage on a single given attack. The dragon gains an additional 1d6 points of damage per level of the spell slot used up in this manner. The dragon must decide to use its spell rage ability before its attack roll. A failed attack roll still uses up the spell slot.

Improved Draconic Rage Ex: At 4th level, the dragon ravager’s bonuses to Strength and Constitution during its rage each increase to +10, and its morale bonuses on Will saves increases to +4. The penalty to AC remains at –2.

Breath Gout Su: As a full-round action, the dragon ravager can concentrate on his breath weapon to increase its efficacy, doubling the damage of its usual breath weapon. After a dragon has used breath gout, it cannot use its breath weapon for 1d4 minutes.
