Knightly Traditions
Upon taking your first Knight level, you must select a feat corresponding to your Knightly Tradition. Once selected, the tradition may not be changed.
There are three traditions of Knight, that focus on different aspects of the class.
- Knight Vanguard. The Knight Vanguard is the scourge of his enemies, scattering all before her.
- Knight Protector. The Knight Protector is the defender of the weak, and stalwart comrade-at-arms.
- Knight Valiant. The Knight Valiant inspires all around her to feats of heroism.
The Tradition of your Order will determine which Knightly abilities improve.
| Ability | Level | Cooldown (Baseline) | Cooldown (Adjusted) | Duration | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heroic Shield | 1 | 5 Minutes (5 Turns) |
N/A | 4 RL Hours (240 Turns) |
Instant Action/Targeted | The Knight designates a friendly target as a Ward, automatically applying a -guard to them. The Ward gains 5% + 1% per 2 Knight Levels (10% at level 10) damage immunity to all damage types, as well as 1/+1 DR. Additionally, the designated Ward benefits more from the knightly abilities described below. Using the ability on a different ally before the duration ends will remove the buffs and guard from the previous Ward. Using the ability on the Ward again, before the effect expires, (12 IG Hours) will disable guard on the target, but leave the DR and DI active. This is the only ability that can guard NPCs. |
| Rallying Cry | 1 | 3 Minutes (3 Turns) |
1.5 Minutes (1.5 Turns) for Valiant |
1 Minute (1 Turn) |
Instant Action/Colossal Area | The Knight and all nearby allies gain +1 AB and +1 Damage. The Ward, if within range, gains an additional +2 damage. (Valiant 7): At class level 7, the Knight Valiant increases these bonuses to +2. At class level 10, the Knight Valiant increases these bonuses to +3. These bonuses cannot exceed the Knight Valiant's Charisma modifier, but have a minimum value of +1. An affected Ward's +2 damage is added on top of this increased bonus. |
| Inspire Courage | 2 | 3 Minutes (3 Turns) |
1.5 Minutes (1.5 Turns) for Protector |
1 Minute (1 Turn) |
Standard Action/Colossal Area | The Knight removes fear effects from all allies in range. The knight and all affected allies gain a +2 bonus to all saving throws. If the Ward is within range, the Ward has one negative status effect removed. (Protector 7): At class level 7, the Knight Protector removes all negative status effects from all affected allies (as per the Restoration spell). The saving throw bonus is increased to +4. For one turn, the Ward's defensive bonuses from Heroic Shield is doubled. The Knight Protector additionally grants 2 Regeneration to all affected allies for the duration of the effect. This increases to 4 Regeneration at level 7 and 6 Regeneration at level 10. |
| Fear | 3 | 3 Minutes (3 Turns) |
1.5 Minutes (1.5 Turns) for Vanguard |
1 Minute (1 Turn) |
Standard Action/Large Area | Nearby enemies must make a Will save versus Fear. The DC of this save is 10 + Knight Level + [(the highest of Leadership or Intimidate) / 3]. Enemies who fail this saving throw suffer a -1 penalty, improving to -2 at 8 Knight levels, to AC, AB, and Saving Throws, and a 5% Spell Failure chance per 4 Knight levels. The minimum penalty is -1. Mind-protecting spells do not block this effect. Being attacked while casting Fear will not trigger any Concentration checks. (Vanguard 7): At class level 7, these penalties are doubled. |
| Oath of Wrath | 4 | 3 Minutes (3 Turns) |
N/A | 1 Minute (1 Turn) |
Instant Action/Targeted Ability | A targeted enemy loses 2 AC and is provoked, forcing them to switch target to the Knight. In addition,
(Valiant): the Knight Valiant and all allies within a colossal radius gain +1 magic damage, plus 1 per five Knight levels, against the target's racial type (Ex. 3 Magic Damage vs. Giants) |
| Final Stand | 5 | 3 Minutes (3 Turns) |
N/A | Immediate/Special | Standard Action/Large Area | Each nearby ally is healed for 1d8 HP per Knight level, and an additional 1d8 HP per 5% missing health on that ally. Healing on the Ward is empowered (150% of normal). Additionally,
(Valiant 10): at ten class levels, the Knight Valiant and all affected allies gain 10 Regeneration per round for 1 Turn. |
