Parry. The knight adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the knight must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
Description
Knights are warriors who pledge service to rulers, religious orders, and noble causes. A knight's alignment determines the extent to which a pledge is honored. Whether undertaking a quest or patrolling a realm, a knight often travels with an entourage that includes squires and hirelings who are commoners.
After traveling with magic users, some of the more prudent knights pick up the odd trick or two, allowing them to be more effective in battle. Occasionally, if the knight is in service to the mage, this tutelage is encouraged, to incredibly effective results.
