Spellcasting

At each odd level (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) and level 10, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in an arcane, divine, or invocation based spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a dragonslayer, you must decide which class to progress in. This includes Assassin, Avenger, and Blackguard. Dragon Slayer, when chosen to progress Warlock, will also progress Eldritch Blast dice.

Aura of Courage

At 1st level, a dragonslayer gains immunity to fear. Allies within 10 feet of the dragonslayer gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against fear effects.

Damage Bonus

A dragonslayer gains a bonus on weapon damage rolls against dragons equal to his class level.

True Strike

At 2nd level, a dragonslayer may use true strike once per day. At 10th level, a dragonslayer may use true strike twice per day.

Damage Reduction

At 3rd level, a dragonslayer gains damage reduction 1/-. This improves to damage reduction 2/- at 6th level, and to damage reduction 3/- at 9th level. This damage reduction only stacks with the DR granted by Greater Resiliency and the epic damage reduction feats.

Deactivated for Warlocks for DR stacking issues.

Energy Resistance

At 5th level, a dragonslayer gains resistance to acid 5, cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5, and sonic 5. These resistances improve to 10 at 10th level.
