Dragonscale Loyalist

When not acting as courtiers, these agents don fearsome draconic masks, becoming anonymous protectors of the kingregent’s rule.

Ruby Courtier (Ex)

At 1st level, a Dragonscale loyalist gains Exotic Weapon Proficiency (dueling sword) as a bonus feat. His social identity must appear to be that of a noble, and he can’t select double time, many guises, or any social talent inappropriate for a noble social identity.

This ability alters social talents and replaces the 1st-level social talent.

Reflexive Reaction (Ex)

A Dragonscale loyalist lacks the conviction of other vigilantes, but his reactions are keenly honed. At 3rd level, if a Dragonscale loyalist acts during a surprise round, he can take a full round’s worth of actions. If he does, he is staggered during the first full round of combat.

This ability replaces unshakable.

False Allegiance (Ex)

At 5th level, a Dragonscale loyalist chooses one of the seven famous noble houses, gaining a bonus feat and a special ability appropriate to the chosen house. He need not meet the feat’s prerequisites.

This ability replaces startling appearance.

Dragonscale Vigilance (Su)

A Dragonscale loyalist becomes supernaturally perceptive to plots against his lord.

At 11th level, while in his vigilante identity, a Dragonscale loyalist is treated as constantly being under the effects of perceive betrayal (see below). This effect’s caster level is equal to the Dragonscale loyalist’s vigilante level, and he doesn’t require material components or a focus.

This ability replaces the vigilante’s frightening appearance.

Conqueror’s Wrath (Ex)

A Dragonscale loyalist can rampage through enemy ranks. At 17th level, as a full-round action, a Dragonscale loyalist can make a full attack and move up to his speed. The loyalist can pause at any point or points during the movement, make one or more of his attacks, and continue moving. Creatures making attacks of opportunity against the loyalist during this movement gain a +4 bonus on their attack and damage rolls.

Using this ability counts as using a vigilante talent.

This ability replaces stunning appearance.
