    I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Keep in mind the class is purposefully designed to mimic final fantasy dragoons, not real dragoons. To me, a dragoon is the little military unit I used in Civilization II that rode around on a horse. The final fantasy class was originally called "Dragon Knight" but got shortened to "Dragoon" because of "D.Knight" being taken up by the Dark Knight class already.
    This class is meant to be a specific type of dragon knight which focuses on lances and jumping, more commonly referred to (by final fantasy fans in particular) as a Dragoon.

    And also, you win major cool-points for the Princess Bride reference. Kudos.

    "By 'for fun' do you mean 'to kill us?'" - Me, about the DM rolling a d20 several times for no known reason.

    "You have my sword." - the Fighter.
    "And my bow." - the Ranger.
    "And my acts!" - me, the Bard.
