Prestige Path: The Iron Dreadnought (5e)
This was created by combining the 4e Iron Vanguard and the 4e Dreadnought. "With every attack I make¸ I grow stronger and more confident." -Jagnnash the Unstoppable¸ dragonborn hero You become a vision of physical perfection¸ mighty in body and ruthless in your pursuit of victory. No one defends the front line of battle batter than you do¸ easily taking ground and pushing the enemy to and fro. World-shaking battles were fought between the tieflings of Bael Turath and the dragonborn of Arkhosia. The deeds and exploits of these conflicts resound still in epic story and song. One such anthem is Lament of the Iron Dreadnought¸ a somber song that recounts the final mark of Jagnnash the Unstoppable¸ a great dragonborn hero. A doughty warrior famed for his ability to fight on no matter the unjuries he sustained. Jagnnash accumulated a number of legends. He withstood the full fury of an angry blue dragon¸ shrugged off the lashes of a pit fiend's whip¸ and even killed a tiefling warlock who had hurled him through Hell. The Lament¸ though¸ speaks of this final battle and all he achieved in the last offensive against the tiefling empire. Jagannash felled a full legion of devils¸ strangled their succubus sorceress commander with his bare hands¸ and hammered his way through the walls of a fortress. He was climbing the tower that housed the tiefling war room when the earth rebelled and swallowed the citadel and all within it. It is whispered that Jagannash fights there still¸ despite the centuries. Such is his resillience. v2.0 • Changed Ranks to Tiers • Added some abilities and moved other abilities around a bit • Rebalanced the Exploits to fit with the current design of those presented in Martial Exploits v2.0. Prestige Paths are a way to add another layer of flavor onto a character without using class levels. They are somewhere between a class and a background. Class levels are finite in 5e¸ so this allows for a light version of a class without breaking normal progression. Check out my Prestige Path Primer for more information and a sample Prestige Path.
