Dragon Lord is a variant Fighter archetype introduced in Update 66. Dragon Lords model their tactics after the ferocity of dragons to demoralize and subdue their enemies. They excel in crowd control, defense, and Draconic power. The archetype is free to VIPs or purchasable for 995 .

This archetype was initially released as the first Year of the Dragon reward.

Bug: The Update 66 Release Notes for Dragon Lord claim the class is meant to have a Good Will Save progression (using the same numbers as Fort Save in the below table); the archetype still uses Fighter's Poor progression for this save (same numbers as Reflex save.) It is unclear if this is a bug or if the patch notes are wrong.

Draconic Aura

Dragon Lords gain a Draconic Aura ability. Select which aura you want as feats and upgrade the effect via Dragon Lord enhancements.

Auras grant morale bonus. This does not stack with everything, especially low level spells such as Good Hope. Upgrades in the Dragon Lord tree eventually help these exceed the bonuses of those spells. Game designers do not intend to change this to a unique typing. DDO Forums

Fighter bonus feats

At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 18th and 20th level Dragon Lords gain an additional bonus feat. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as fighter bonus feats. A fighter must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.

These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. A Dragon Lord is not limited to the list of fighter bonus feats when choosing these feats.

Some feats on the Fighter bonus feat list are exclusive to the Fighter / Dragon Lord class: no other class can take them. These feats usually require certain number of fighter levels (in parentheses):

• Defense: Heavy Armor Training (2), Heavy Armor Combatant (6), Heavy Armor Master (10), Heavy Armor Champion (14)
• Offense: Weapon Specialization (4), Greater Weapon Focus (8), Greater Weapon Specialization (12), Superior Weapon Focus (16)
• Tactics: Tactical Training (4), Tactical Combatant (8), Tactical Mastery (12), Tactical Supremacy (16)
