Purple Dragon Knight
Description: The famous purple dragons of Cormyr are regarded across Faerûn as exemplars of disciplined, skilled, loyal soldiers. Their reputation is deserved partly because of the heroic actions of their leaders, the purple dragon knights. Purple dragon knights develop uncanny skills relating to coordinating and leading soldiers. Most are fighters, rangers or paladins, but a few bards, and clerics have been known to become purple dragon knights. Barbarians are too undisciplined, and druids and monks too "uncivilized" in Cormyr to enter this career.

- Oath of Wrath: Now gives a bonus of 1 + (character level / 10) to attack, damage, saving throws, and skills against a selected enemy. Damage type is positive. The bonus is against the enemy's specific alignment and race, so any other creatures with the same race and alignment qualify. Duration is 1 turn + 1 round per character level.
