Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the knight can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the knight. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the knight is incapacitated.
Fling. One creature grappled by the Beetle Knights pincer horns must make a DC 14 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the Beetle Knight flings the creature 1d6 times 10 feet in a direction of its choice, and the target lands prone.
If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
Carapace Parry. The beetle knight adds 2 to its AC against one attack that would hit it. To do so, the beetle knight must see the attacker.
Description
The creatures stand on two insectoid legs that skitter forth with rythmic clacking sounds. Their large round beetle-like bodies resemble a suite of plate armor with its head shaped
like a thick helmet topped with a massive pincer-like horn.
Peeking out from beneath its massive horned helmet are small beady eyes and gnashing, spitting mandibles. Its two upper arms end in bladed mantis scythes, while two more arms end in claws. The creature’s insect shell is a shimmering blueish silver that covers its body, protecting the delicate wings beneath.
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.
Silver Order Knights, are effective melee and mounted combatants as well as squad leaders for Silver Order soldiers.
