Chivalry

As a knight, you embody honor and the code of chivalry. You have honor points equal to

the number shown on the honor column in the row for your level in the table above. You may

spend honor points to gain advantage on a roll to do something your character would consider

honorable. In addition, you gain +1 to your charisma attribute if you are lawful in alignment.

You lose 2 Honor points whenever you do something your character would finddishonorable. For example:

Retreat from an ally in danger

Slay an enemy that has surrendered

Kill an innocent person

You gain 1 honor point whenever you do something your character would find

honorable. For example:

Give mercy to a surrendering foe

Save an ally or friendly NPC from a killing blow

Spend a round doing nothing but shielding an ally or friendly NPC from harm

Any number of honor points may be used after you roll a die for an ability check, attack roll,

saving throw or damage roll but before your DM tells you if you succeed or not to increase the

total by the amount of honor points you spent.

Vow of Honor

path for your character. You will gain extra abilities from this at levels 3 and 10. In addition, your

chivalry gains bonuses based off of what vow you choose.

you make while mounted have the to hit die roll increased by your wisdom modifier. At level 9,

your speed while mounted is increased to 10 and at level 15 it is increased to 15.

Ability Score Increase

At level 4 you may increase an attribute by 1 or Charisma by 2. If you wish, you may

your turn. The number of attacks increases to 3 when you reach level 10 in this class.

counterattack at 1 honor point instead of 2.

Virtuous Fighters

At level 11 You may use Charisma as your modifier for attack rolls and damage rolls.

instead use your charisma score as if you rolled that number. Dont add your charisma modifier

if you choose to do so.
