This cause can take many forms, service to a country, a particular person, an ideal, a religion, and even service to one's self. While the reasons might be many, there are few things all Knights tend to have in common. A lawful leaning, a position of being a direct challenger to threats, aiming to protect their allies and a bulwark of opposition for their enemies. Why did you become a knight? Why did you swear an oath to something greater than yourself? Were you lost without a cause? A simple act of kindness you seek to repay? A family history of service? Perhaps a moment of happenstance put you in the purview of a powerful lord. Whatever your origin may be, Knights are warriors of honor, courage, and tenacity. They live to serve their principles. ### [Guard](Guard.md) <small>(Level 1)</small> Keywords - *[Mundane](Mundane.md)*, *[Imbue](Imbue.md)*, *[Empower](Empower.md)*, *[Economy](Economy.md)* APC - 1 Target - Ally Range - Melee The Knight selects an ally and imbues them with Tier I [Reinforced](Reinforced.md). In addition, should an enemy within melee range attempt to attack that ally, the Knight may trigger an [Attack of Opportunity](Attack%20of%20Opportunity.md) on that enemy, this attack has its APC reduced by an amount equal to your [Presence](Presence.md) or [Prowess](Prowess.md), whichever is higher. This effect lasts 1 round. ### [Heavy Armor Specialist](Heavy%20Armor%20Specialist.md) <small>(Level 1)</small> This character gains an augment to a qualifying armor they are proficient with.

While within this effect, an ally or yourself gain [Courage](Courage.md) at the start of their turn. Allies under the effect of [Guard](Guard.md) gain twice the amount of [Courage](Courage.md) instead. The value of this [Courage](Courage.md) is determined by the Knight's [Prowess](Prowess.md) or [Presence](Presence.md), whichever is higher. ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 3)</small> *"The knight's training endures; no new skill graces him this day, only a path that will temper the steel of his spirit."* ### [Honor's Demand](Honor's%20Demand.md) <small>(Level 4)</small> Keywords - *[[Mundane]]*, *[[Attack]]* APC - Weapon Cost Target - Enemy Range - Melee The Knight attacks an enemy that has caused an ally to lose all of their [Courage](Courage.md) this round. The Knight may expend their [Courage](Courage.md) on this attack, if they do, they deal additional damage to this attack equal to the expended [Courage](Courage.md). In addition, the target of this attack is afflicted by Tier II [Taunt](Prism%20(Testing)/Keywords/Afflictions/Mundane/Taunt.md). ### [Lord's Grace](Lord's%20Grace.md) <small>(Level 5)</small> Keywords - *[[Mundane]]*, *[[Empower]]* Whenever the Knight would imbue an ally with a Mundane imbuement, the Knight gains [Courage](Courage.md) equal to its [Prowess](Prowess.md) or [Presence](Presence.md), whichever is higher. In addition, when the Knight imbues the [Reinforced](Reinforced.md) imbuement, increase its Tier by II. ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 6)</small> *"No new gift graces the knight this day, yet raised in defiant honor is a second path."* ### [Valor's Advance](Valor's%20Advance.md) <small>(Level 7)</small> Keywords - *[[Mundane]]*, *[[Empower]]* The Knight now uses their [Prowess](Prowess.md) or [Presence](Presence.md) to determine their [Movement Rating](Movement%20Rating.md). In addition, whenever the Knight would enter an enemy's threatened area, that enemy may make an [Attack of Opportunity](Attack%20of%20Opportunity.md) against them, if they do, the Knight may make an [Attack of Opportunity](Attack%20of%20Opportunity.md) against them afterwards. If they do not, the Knight gains [Courage](Courage.md) equal to their [Vigor](Vigor.md). ### [Shatter Morale](Shatter%20Morale.md) <small>(Level 8)</small> Keywords - *[[Mundane]]*, *[[Afflict]]*, *[[Attack]]* APC - 1 + Weapon Cost Target - Enemy Range - Melee The Knight makes an attack against an enemy. If that attack should deal damage the enemy must make an opposed roll. The Knight uses their [Prowess](Prowess.md) or [Presence](Presence.md). The enemy uses their [Tenacity](Tenacity.md) or [Willpower](Willpower.md). If the Knight should win, the enemy is afflicted with Tier V [Frightened](Frightened.md) for 3 rounds. ### [Character Path](Character%20Paths.md) <small>(Level 9)</small> *"The knight's legend grows yet no new power dawns; instead, forged in trials unyielding, the final path is claimed."* ### [Dragonsbane](Dragonsbane.md) <small>(Level 10)</small> Keywords - *[[Mundane]]*, *[[Empower]]*, *[[Attack]]* Whenever the Knight would be attacked in melee by a flying creature, the Knight may trigger an [Attack of Opportunity](Attack%20of%20Opportunity.md) against them. Enemies dealt damage by the Knight's [Attack of Opportunity](Attack%20of%20Opportunity.md)'s lose an amount of Fly rating equal to the Knight's [Prowess](Prowess.md), [Vigor](Vigor.md), or [Presence](Presence.md). If this reduces a creature's Fly rating to 0, that creature is grounded and has Tier III [Prone](Prone.md). Whenever the Knight would be affected by a breath effect, gaze effect, or curse effect, the Knight may instead spend [Courage](Courage.md) equal to twice the tier of that affliction, if they do, the effect is negated. Once per combat, the Knight may imbue an attack they make with Tier III [Keen](Keen.md) against a creature with the Dragon, Monstrosity, Fiend, Undead, or Giant subtype. This attack gains the [Blood Font](Blood%20Font.md) critical effect. This must be declared before the attack is rolled.
