Awesome! I'll be pouring over my books further and throw more stuff into the pile; for now, though, I'm happy to have helped! Keep it up, soldier!

Curious about Dragon Shaman auras and similar features: are they low-key enough class features that they can be allowed as one or more feats? I think the Knight's Challenge ability set is at this level, but I'm not sure about the others. Thoughts?

They might be, but one trick is figuring out the prerequisites.

Draconic aura, might be low-key enough but it is intrinsic to the dragon shaman's bond with dragons. So.. I feel it is a toss up.

The knight's challenge, I feel, would be one of the easiest and the hardest to argue for. Anyone could in theory adopt such a code, and have such an influence. At the same time, in many ways it could be seen like bardic music.
