It's a small thing but the levels that all classes gain a standard ASI don't change from class to class (some gain bonus ASIs at other levels though). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The table also mentions they gain a chivalric code improvement at 12th but this doesn't seem to be the case. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They also gain a 3rd attack at 13th level when 11th level is typically the level that each class gains a boost to their combat effectiveness with something to boost offence or defence.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The class also doesn't get anything that I could see at 14th, 17th, and 20th level. 5th edition typically doesn't do dead levels, especially for non-spellcasters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They also have two weak saving throws.</li> </ul>A combination of much of the above would probably put me off buying it, otherwise, from what I read there were some cool ideas. The knightly rank and heraldry is pretty cool for customisation of your knight upon quest completion.</blockquote>
