Common wisdom maintains that ancient dragons were the
first arcane spellcasters. Wizards of the College of Dracology, sometimes
called Dracologists, bring this belief full circle as arcane spellcasters who
study and seek to emulate dragons to further their own personal power. In time,
these arcanists may even learn the secret of becoming a dragon.
The following is an additional college for my wizard
class.

Dracologist Special Abilities
Dragon’s Tongue
The character may speak, read, and write Draconic (the
language of dragons) fluently. The character gains a +2 bonus to reaction rolls
when speaking Draconic to dragons, as well as (at the Judge’s discretion) intelligent
creatures related to dragons or that speak Draconic.
Dragon’s Claw
When brawling (see ACKS p. 109), the character may deal
lethal damage, 1d3 with a punch or 1d4 with a kick. She can punch or kick
characters in metal armor without herself taking damage.
Dragon’s Scales
At 4th level, a dracologist’s arcane dragon scales decreases
the damage from any non-magical attacks by 1 point per die, similarly to a
dwarven fury’s flesh-runes. This protection increases to 2 points per die at
7th level and 3 points per die at 13th level.
Dragon’s Wings
The character may use winged flight at will, except that the character can continuously
fly for only 1 round per level before becoming fatigued.
Draconic Ascension
The character may transform herself into a dragon through
draconic apotheosis. The character may perform apotheosis as if she
were two class levels higher than actual. The character will retain the ability
to speak as well as her existing arcane spellcasting ability (in lieu of
standard dragon spellcasting ability). The cost and time to perform apotheosis
is reduced by 50%.
