classes of NeoExodus: Fist of the Dragon
The Fist of the Dragon is a powerful mystical warrior
who is able to channel the very fury of a dragon into
his blows. In the Janus Horde, might makes right,
and the strong rule; this has led a group of warriors
to emulate one of the most mighty creatures of the
world, Dragons. Blending the warrior lifestyle of
their people with the consumption of dragon blood has
led the Fists of the Dragon to embody the very nature
of the Janus Horde with their raw magic and brutal
strength.
A Fist of the Dragon is often educated and inde-
pendent, ready to attack his foes with the unbridled
ferocity. Every advantage is taken in combat and
victory will be assured. Though they trained by a
quasi-religious order, a Fist will often find himself
adventuring in hopes of increasing his own personal
power or knowledge. This normally leads to success,
if the Fist does not meet some gruesome end by some
unnamed monster.
With their mixture of attacks, spell-casting, and
supernatural abilities, a Fist of the Dragon can assist
with almost any role in a battle. They make up for
their lack of armor and toughness, compared to the
barbarian and fighter, with the massive damage of
their attacks and varying array of abilities they can
perform.
There are five different and distinct groups within
the Fists of the Dragons. Each one of these factions
is dedicated to a different color of the chromatic
dragons. They do share one grander purpose, to
become more like their mighty namesakes, the most
powerful of single combatants.
The Fists of the Dragon are seen by many within the
Horde as spiritual leaders or as favored individuals,
for they are able to emulate a dragon’s powerful
fighting style, utilizing strength, magic, and raw
supernatural abilities. Fists of the Dragon wield one-
handed weapons, most of the time in pairs, emulating
the deadly claws of the dragon. They wear little
or no armor as this impedes their magical abilities,
instead trusting on their own abilities or magical
defenses. Training for this brutal combat technique is
augmented by the consumption of dragon’s blood.
Fists of the Dragon work well with any group that is
constantly garnishing power or magic. Outside the
Horde, a Fist of the Dragon will often work with a
group of mercenaries or wanderers if their price of
knowledge, magic, or power can be met. Though
they respect and idolize the dragons’ abilities, they
are more than willing to remove one of the wyrms
when given the opportunity. After all, if a dragon
cannot protect it’s power, what business does it have
in keeping it. Though they respect material wealth as
a form of power, the very mobile nature of the horde
prevents them from keeping more than they can carry.
The Fists of the Dragon are looked upon by the other
factions within the Janus Horde with a bit of uncertain
respect. Though the average member of the Horde
respects the Fists for their great strength and prowess,
they are looked upon by some as pretenders, for they
try to be something they are not. These dissenters will
challenge members of the Fists of the Dragon to fights
of honor and leadership, only to find that Fists are
capable of putting down most who stand against them.
training
A Fist of the Dragon trains from their tenth year
onward in the martial and magical way of their order.
The academies of the Horde move with the great trav-
eling nation, training their novices on the move.
When they are ready to become a true Fist of the
Dragon, a potential Fist of the Dragon is dispatched
on a quest after their sixteenth year to return with the
life’s blood of a dragon. A Fist of the Dragon is than
given a strange potion imbued with the very blood of
a dragon and other strange magical ingredients. This
potion normally manifests itself by granting the Fist in
training the ability to emulate a fraction of a dragon’s
power.
Combat
Fists of the Dragon know full and well they will
wander far from the Horde, seeking power, magic,
and knowledge. One of the most important tenants
in their order is that they must accumulate more and
more of these valued commodities. Though the Fists
are mighty as individuals, they are but a small fraction
of the power of the Horde. If faced with truly over-
whelming odds, a Fist of the Dragon will withdraw
from combat, having long-ago learned that vengeance
will grace them.
A Fist does not seek death or glory like many others,
instead he craves power, for himself and his own
order. The ideology of the Fists of the Dragon is
clouded heavily by the chromatic dragons from whom
they draw their names. Most Fists of the Dragon start
out from non-evil aligments, but as they accumulate

improves by one every 2 levels: +3 at 6th, +4 at

Dragon may channel a bolt of energy capable of
damaging opponents. This attack does 1d6 points

energy is based upon the Fist of the Dragon’s chosen
dragon type.

one of his weapons with energy. The weapon does
an additional 1d4 points of damage upon the first

damage. The Reflex save is equal to 10 + Fist of
the Dragon’s level + Charisma modifier. The type

draconic nature.
• Dragon Wrath ( Ex ): This ability wreathes you
in flame and causes damage to each creature that
attacks you in melee. Any creature striking you
with its body or a handheld weapon deals normal
damage, but at the same time the attacker takes
1d6 points of damage +1 point per Fist of the
Dragon level. This damage is acid damage, cold
damage, electricity damage, or fire damage based
off the Fist of the Dragon’s draconic nature. If
the attacker has spell resistance, it applies to this
effect. Creatures wielding weapons with excep-
tional reach are not subject to this damage if they
attack you. When using this ability, you appear
to immolate yourself, but the flames are thin and
wispy, giving off light equal to only half the illu-
mination of a normal torch ( 10 feet ). The color of
the flames is determined randomly ( 50% chance
of either color )—green if acid damage is inflicted,
blue if a cold damage is inflicted, purple if elec-
tricity damage is inflicted, or red if fire damage is
inflicted.
