Surprise! Dropping a new subclass on you all!!!
This one's public, because this one doesn't have original art and I'm planning on it being a part of the Sovereign class.
I've been loving writing more "Arthurian" fantasy archetypes, and I have always wanted something that really FELT like the Medieval Romantic type of "Knight in Shining Armor." While Paladin and Fighter could be super easy base classes to roll with, I was actually inspired by SMITE to do something a little different.
In SMITE, characters belong to one of 5 classes: Assassin, Guardian, Hunter, Mage, or Warrior. Guardians and Mages deal magic damage, the other three are physical.
Rather than making Lancelot a Warrior (equivalent to Barbarian, Fighter, or Paladin), HiRez made the interesting decision to make him an Assassin (equivalent to Monk or Rogue). I felt like this was such a cool idea that I decided to take a shot at a Chivalrous Knight of a Roguish Archetype and I actually really love it.
The Chevalier plays as a frontline-focused, tanky Rogue that exploits the enemy through additional ways they can provoke opportunity attacks and opens up your arsenal for longswords and jousting to apply Sneak Attack damage!
I'm actually extremely happy with this one right now, but let me know what you all think!
