Knight Errant

Wandering warriors, without a master but a burning desire to lead heroic lives, Knight Errants are honourable squires or Paladins-in-training who forego swearing an Oath and instead set out on their own self-imposed quests, adjusting to a life on the road. The exact nature of the quest may change from day-to-day, depending on the changing priorities or immediate trials a Knight Errant may face, but they always align with the same overall goal. Given their nomadic nature, Knight Errants are often skilled in survival tactics, foraging, and have a good sense of direction, allowing them to traverse through various landscapes or terrains.

Level 3: Quest of Errantry

You make a solemn pledge in the name of those you hold dear, your ideals, or maybe your honour, to undertake a specific quest.

Choose one of the following Pledge options to represent your current quest. You may change your selection after each Long Rest.

Pledge of the Slayer. You gain a bonus to your Intimidation checks equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

Pledge of the Seeker. You gain a bonus to your Investigation checks equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

Pledge of the Saviour. You gain a bonus to your Persuasion checks equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

Level 3: Knight Errant Spells

When you reach a Ranger level specified in the Knight Errant Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spell prepared. Your spell list changes depending upon your current Quest of Errantry.
