Since this one is readilly available for review online, I'll post this proposal now even though I don't have PHBII with me.
The Knight
It's an interesting class. Non spellcasting melee types are generally not my personal cup of tea, but the Knight has an interesting schtick. It's the only D&D class I know that mirrors the "tank" roll of MMRPG gaming -- I leave it to the reader whether that's good, bad, or just interesting.
Basically your big, brash-but-charismatic guy in lots of armor and a shield painted with the words "Hit me!"
Edit:
The following changes from RAW apply to this proposal:
- Fighting Challenge: [Mind affecting] (though as it targets the knight, still usefull against opponents who are immune to mind affecting stuff)
- Test of Mettle: [Mind affecting, Compulsion] The opponent does not need to attack, but if he does, he must attack the knight according to his abilities and normal tactics (he could also flee, if that is more desirable)
- Call to Battle: [Mind affecting]
- Daunting Challenge: [Mind affecting, Fear]
- Bond of Loyalty: [Mind affecting]
- Loyal Beyond Death: [Mind affecting]
