Adventurous Archetypes - The Power of Dragons (2e)
Wield Draconic Might! Great adventurers deserve great options¸ and the most dangerous quests sometimes require the most specialized of training. The Adventurous Archetypes books each provide a handful of character archetypes tied to a specific theme¸ inspired by one of Paizo's adventure paths. Although these archetypes are thematically linked to that campaign¸ and the topics on which it focuses¸ they are just as suitable for characters whose players wish to explore those themes as well¸ or even for GMs who are looking for inspiration and new abilities to give to monsters and NPCs. This installment of Adventurous Archetypes focuses on the power of dragons¸ inspired by the adventure path dealing with the threat of an ashen apocalypse. Long a staple of the fantasy genre¸ dragons are among the most powerful and iconic foes an adventurer can face. Whether you're claiming dragons as your allies¸ embracing their power yourself¸ or devoting your life to ridding the world of their presence¸ this book is for you. Adventurous Archetypes: The Power of Dragons includes the following archetypes: Dragon-descended¸ for characters with draconic heritage. This archetype grants a number of typically draconic powers¸ including the ability to grow draconic claws and wings¸ breathe fire¸ and even transform fully into a dragon! Dragonslayer¸ for characters who would rather fight dragons than join them. Trained to combat dragons and creatures like them¸ dragonslayers can use their shields to block breath weapons¸ pierce a flying creature's wings to end its flight¸ and lodge their weapon in a monster's jaws to keep it from biting! Dragonrider¸ for characters who want to ride into battle on the back of a dragon. This archetype provides a dragon companion¸ who starts small¸ but grows larger and more powerful¸ eventually serving as a formidable mount and ally! Don't go off to adventure unprepared. Whether you're about to embark in a campaign focused on dragons and their allies¸ or just want a taste of draconic might in your game¸ don't turn down the power of dragons!
