Dragon Knight (5e Subclass)

Dragon Knight

Fighter Subclass

A Dragon Knight is born when a knight discovers and embraces a draconic presence in their ancestral bloodline. They change physically and mentally as they accept their draconic blood and use it, for better or for worse, to decimate their enemies on the battlefield. Clad in platemail and sword in hand they battle their enemies. When the odds turn against them, they take flight on dragon wings, breathing lightning, swinging swords of fire, or firing arrows of ice. The dragon knight brings the fury of dragons and places it in the hands of mortal men.
