	The class needs a jump boosting item to be really effective, which is a bit of a downer. It doesn't have a lot of breadth compared to lots of other VH classes, but it's short enough to fit into most other martial builds so that can be forgiven. Really though, a five level detour is worth it to fall a hundred feet through a building and still murder a monster at the bottom. Good times...

	Well I know what I'm playing next time there's a game. I love dragoons, and this fits perfectly.

	All the cool things about Genowhirl's original PrC with most of what I generally think of as the less important dragoon abilities (dragon breath, most notably) removed in favor of condensing it to five levels. I think this is a nice improvement on an already cool PrC, so what's not to like?

	It's got a nice set of abilities for jumping on people and beating them to death, but I prefer Very High classes to have more depth and variety. Property damage makes things a little better, but isn't very specific as to which unattended objects take the damage, or whether sufficiently damaging an object lets them move through it.

Very high? Not seeing it. Am I missing something? - Tarkisflux ^Talk 15:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Has the scale really moved up that much? Well, it can dish out lots of damage with the auto-x4 critical, high jump checks, and the level 1 ability of tripling. That said, it's not very versatile. I thought it was enough of a big trick to put it "Very High" though. Surgo 17:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

It hasn't moved up at all that I'm aware of, but versatility was always one of the big things up there I thought. Is it doing that much more damage than a flask rogue to make up for it's substantially smaller versatility? - Tarkisflux ^Talk 18:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't Slaying Jump say "once per round" or something of that nature? Or do you mean that they can jump immediately before making a normal full attack action? --Foxwarrior 00:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I've clarified that. Surgo 03:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

This is more of a nitpick, but every instance of "spear" in this really ought to be replaced with "polearm" or something of the like. As is, a Dragoon can't use a Halberd, Trident, or Glaive for their stuff. Which is silly. --Undead_Knave (talk) 08:08, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
