Noble Protector

A fighter who has trained and grown with only the aplause of the crowds and a head for battle. A Champion of the Ring is a noble fighter who always puts himself against the most fierce of foes to prove his strength and protect those around him.

Stand Firm

The Champion knows how dangerous it is to fall during a fight. With this knowledge and training they have developed skills to enable them to always remain on his feet. When taking this Archetype at 3rd level The Champion is unable to be knocked down during a combat. When attempting to be knocked prone the Champion instinctively moves 5 feet in any direction directly away from the source of the attack. 

Weapon Lock

Starting at 7th level, you charges forward and stands breast to breast with the enemy, locking their sword with whatever type of weapon they are using. Both the Champion and the target roll Strength Checks, if the Champion rolls higher than the target enemy then the Champion is able to lock the weapon in place. The enemy is considered grappled and cannot perform any action with the set weapon until the Champion’s next turn. If the target has access to multiple weapons then the Champion must select which weapon is to be locked down. The target may attack with any other weapon they have at their disposal. The effect ends early if the Champion is knocked prone or unconscious.

Shield Wall

Starting at 10th level a Champion can use his or her reaction to jump in front of a single ally within 5 feet, throwing up his shield as he does and protecting the chosen ally from harm and taking half damage from physical and magical attacks. Roll a Dexterity Check against that of the target attacking the creature, if the Champion’s roll is greater than the Shield Wall is successful. If not then both the Champion and his Ally take full damage (ally still applied resistances and rolls as normal against the opposing attacks DC)

Strength of the Champion
