Knight of Legends (5e Class)

Work In Progress

Knight of Legends

The pinnacle of humanity in strength and skill, knights are the bulwark and the spear, defending their homes and annihilating their enemies in equal amounts.

Creating a Knight

You are a knight, and so honor and justice define your very being, but those words don't mean the same thing for everybody. No, to even dream of reaching the pinnacle of the path before you requires a certain strange mindset, an unbreakable oath, or some other form of limitation to replace those of your mortal flesh. What might have driven you to seek such power and skill? Who taught you to wield a weapon? Are you bound by a promise, or a mentality? What are honor and justice to you?
