You have trained to be a valorous warrior known as a
Knight of Solamnia. Strict rules guide your every action,
and you work to uphold them as you strive to defend the
weak and oppose all forms of evil. Your honor is as
important to you as your life.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of musical instrument

common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
When you make your
character, you may roll once on the Knight of Solamnia
Trinkets table, instead of on the Trinkets table in the
Player’s Handbook, for your starting trinket.

modest lodging and food at any of their fortresses or

BUILDING A KNIGHT OF SOLAMNIA CHARACTER
Any class or subclass that has martial prowess can be a
good fit in the Knights of Solamnia. Fighters and paladins
make up the bulk of the knighthood’s forces. Clerics (often
with the War domain) can also be found among the
knights' ranks.
For a more unusual take on a Knight of Solamnia
character, consider playing a bard of the College of Valor
(or the College of Swords from Xanathar’s Guide to
Everything) or a barbarian devoted to the ideals of the
nature god Habbakuk (perhaps adopting the Path of the
Zealot from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything).
