Dragonheir Scion

Dragonheir scions are the martially inclined humanoid descendants of those influenced by draconic power. Unlike their sorcerous brethren, dragonheir scions manifest their heritage in ways more suited to Strength of arms and skill with steel than arcane energies. Those who follow this path are often the children of mighty dragon-blooded sorcerers and others who drew energy from their dragon blood, though they themselves might not exhibit spellcasting ability.

Class Skills

The dragonheir scion adds Knowledge (arcana) and Use Magic Device to their list of class skills, instead of Handle Animal or Ride.

This alters the fighter’s class skills.

Draconic Bloodline (Su)

Each dragonheir scion can draw their lineage back to the influence of a great draconic progenitor. At 1st level, a dragonheir scion must select one of the chromatic or metallic dragon types. Once chosen, this cannot be changed. A number of the dragonheir scion’s abilities deal damage and grant resistances based on their dragon type, as noted below. If a dragonheir scion takes a level in another class that grants a bloodline, the bloodlines must be of the same type, even if that means that the bloodline of one of the classes must change. Subject to GM discretion, the dragonheir scion can change their former bloodline to make them conform.
