Untouchable Knight (5e Class)

Untouchable Knight

You are a knight from the clan of untouched knights, an untouchable knight simply refuses to be hit in there life time as it is a great show of shame and they would much rather die than let a blow leave a scar.

The untouchable knight uses pure speed and complex dance like movements to dodge every attack and would much prefer a companion be hit then themselves.

The Untouchable knight is from a clan called "the clan of Untouched Knights", an Untouchable Knight simply hates being hit and therefore puts all their energy into avoiding a blow with very little energy spent on damaging their opponents. The greatest shame an Untouchable Knight can have is a scar from battle(for DM's: a scar is given when an opponent rolls a natural 20 with a slashing or piercing weapon.) for it is a sign of weakness that will usually get the scar bearer kicked out of the clan and left on the streets.
