Base Class: Fighter
Warding Knights study magic of divine power so they can use their strength to protect all of their allies around them. They gain defense abilities to help through out combat.
Spell Casting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the cleric spell list.
Cantrips
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list, you also know the Guidance cantrip. You learn an additional cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
Spell Casting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell Slots
The Warding Knight Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.
Spells Known of First Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice.
The Spells Known column of the Warding Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace two of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Armor Bond
At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and a shield or one set of armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The armor/shield must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the armor/shield and forge the bond.
Once you have bonded the armor/shield to yourself, you gain a +1 to your AC unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that armor/shield as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your body or hand.
You can have two bonded armor/shields once you reach level 7, but can summon only one at a time with your bonus action. If you attempt to bond with a third Armor/shield, you must break the bond with one of the other two. If your bonded to 2 sets of armor, when you teleport a set of armor to your body the other set go to where the new one previously was. Any non bonded armor you are wearing will drop to the floor in a space around you.
