The Emergent

From the introduction: A soulful martial class with personality to spare. ... A halfling serving boy is being bullied by a group of halforcs at the local tavern. The drunk and rowdy half-orcs begin throwing the halfling to each other, playing catch with their portable victim. Suddenly, a golden-scaled dragon appears out of nowhere, using its mighty breath to knock the half-orcs from their feet. The halfling straightens his clothing and returns to work as the dragon throws the half-orcs out the door.
