Avian Knight (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Avian Knight
Fighter Subclass
Avian Knights are high-ranking knights and nobility that have become disillusioned with their order and now seek to tear down the system that they once held dear. Abandoning their belongings and station and fleeing their home, either by exile or choice, they are granted mystical powers to aid them in their quest to amass a rebellious group of malcontents.
This is the definitive subclass for Knight Cranburry, my first RPG character
