[edit] Becoming a Metadragon

<-why characters persue this class, what other classes they typically have, and what abilities are important->

To qualify to become a Metadragon, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

• Race: Any nondragon (cannot be a half-dragon).

• Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks.

• Languages: Draconic.

• Spellcasting: Con 20, 2d6 Draconic Breath Weapon, and either Dragon Tail or Dragon Wings

• Special: The player chooses any dragon variety when taking the first level in this prestige class. This determines the look of the character's new draconic limbs.

[edit] Class Features

Draconic Continuance: At all levels except 1st, 5th, and 10th, the character continues to progress the damage of their Breath Weapon and how many Draconic Auras, Dragonfire Breath Effects, and Dragonfire Invocations they obtain. No other effects from the previous class carry over.

Might of Meta: At 1st level, the Metadragon understands their strength lies in their growth as warriors. They cannot hope to match the awesome fury that is draconic magic through brute strength alone, but through perseverance, spirit, and a few good knocks. Any time you take 50 points of damage, if you survive the attack, you automatically increase your Strength by +2. This bonus lasts until the end of the encounter, after which you are Exhausted. Increments of 50 provide an equivalent boost, but at least 50 points, after all reduction factors, must be dealt.

Heritage Trait Boost: At each level, the Metadragon chooses one of the following abilities. The character must be at least a specific level to choose some of the effects.

1st— Dragon Tail, Dragon Wings, Draconic Aura, Breath Weapon Size Increase, Flyby Attack, Prehensile Tail, Tail Sweep

2nd— Claws, Improved Dragon Wings, Bite, Improved Dragon Flight, Power Dive, Whirlwind Tail Sweep

3rd— Improved Flyby Attack, Improved Draconic Aura, Tail Constriction

4th— Flyby Breath, Strafing Breath, Blindsense, Shockwave

5th— Double Draconic Aura, Rend, Tail Sweep Knockdown
