Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the knight errant can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw.

The effect ends if the knight errant is incapacitated.

Knights errant and knights of the orders are two different types of knights but they fight almost exactly the same. They ride on an armored destrier warhorse, they are covered in full plate and shield. When on foot they are tough fighters with their sword and shield but they really shine when on horse back delivering deadly trampling charges that can rip through multiple infantry in one fell charge. Knights errant are generally knights who wander looking for heroic tasks and mercenary work to perform while knights of the orders are generally dedicated to certain knightly orders and their ideals such as protecting a certain region and safeguarding sacred religious artifacts and reliquaries. |
