Traits

Brave. The knight has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Steadfast. When a defender would be pushed, pulled, or knocked prone, they are not knocked prone, and the distance of any push or pull is reduced by 10 feet.

Actions

Multiattack. The defender attacks twice with their warhammer.

Warhammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Lance (Mounted Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d12 + 3) piercing damage. If the knight moves at least 20 feet straight towards the target before the attack they deal an extra 6 (1d12) piercing damage and the target makes a DC 13 Strength saving throw falling prone on a failure. This attack is made at disadvantage against targets within 5 feet.

Heavy Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d10 + 1) piercing damage.

Knightly Inspiration (1/Day). The knight inspires creatures of their choice within 30 feet that can hear and understand them. For the next minute inspired creatures gain an expertise die (1d4) on attack rolls and saving throws. A creature can benefit from only one Knightly Inspiration at a time and the knight cannot target themselves.
