Knight Redone

I have decided to axe the Avenger name, and simply concentrate on making this a more noble type fighter class. I might have to tone done some of the more vengeful types of maneuvers but in the end, I think this will stick to the more classical sense of what a Knight is all about from books, film, and literature.

First Playtest

Its funny how I have some real issues with this archetype, and yet it is the most popular archetype to play. The problem is, I originally started off making this archetype the Knight, but I did not come up with enough abilities and moved on to making the Paladin. Then I came back to the Knight and flushed out the rest of the abilities by making some anti-Paladin type powers.

I should have known, anti-Paladin was like some kind of cult in the early days of role playing. I remember entire Dragon magazine articles written about it.

I think, as an experiment, I will rename the Thief archetype to Assassin. I bet it would have the same effect.

So now, I am struggling with this inner voice to rename this archetype Knight Avenger, to reflect it is a variation of the knight. But if I do that, then I should rename Wizard to Fire Wizard, and Ranger to Wind Ranger and that same inner voice says not to do that.
