The Knight Class

[Aris]

I was thinking of using this in my (FR)campaign.

The Knight(not all knights have to be paladin or anti-paladin like)

Hit Dice: D10
Attack Bonus: High
Saves: Fighter
Skills: As Aristocrat(4+Int)
The Knight
Skill Focus:Knowledge(Nobles) as a free feat. At level 2
Bonus Feats: As a Fighter. At Levels 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.
Favored Enemy: As a Ranger. At Levels 6, 12, and 18
Smite Chaos: As Smite Good against a chaotic foe. At level 9


Is it good/balanced

Bump, please someone post the reasons why

it's too boring, why would I take this over the strait fighter or paladin? it's not very original, really

It seems to be a grab-bag of abilities.

Why Ranger favoured enemy?
Why Smite Chaos?
Power of Knighthood sounds really stupid.

I suggest using Hong's Knight instead.

It seems to be a grab-bag of abilities.

The reason for the favored enemy is because a Knight can pick a kingdom/evil(or good)race that is a enemy of his kingdom. For Smite Chaos, all knights are servants of a king of a lawful kingdom and are against chaos. As for Power of Knighthood, it does seem stupid I guess I'll change it.

I suggest using Hong's Knight instead.

It too Fighter and it has weird rules for each race
Thanks anyway

Knights should be any alignment, so I would remove the Smite Chaos ability (and not replace it with anything). History is replete with examples of unchivalrous, non-law abiding "black knights." These guys were NE or CE.

I also think the class is a little too strong as written (this coming from me, the designer of the d12 anti-paladin, LOL).
