Knight

Impact: 🟡🟡

"A chivalrous warrior of a prestigious origin, who serves their oath to protect the denizens of various villages." Hefty Combatant.

Resource (Renown):

• Fighting on behalf of the Villagers earns you notoriety. Killing Pillager-aligned mobs will raise your Renown, while killing Villager-aligned mobs will lower it. Renown will also decay partially after each morning.

• Positive renown will decrease Villager prices, and allow you to periodically summon reinforcements.

• Negative renown prevents Villager trades, and low renown will result in hostility from Villager-aligned mobs.

• Renown ranks apply as five different levels. From lowest to highest they are: Reviled, Shunned, Neutral, Accepted, Exalted. You start at Neutral.

Positive:

• Use your primary active ability to summon reinforcements, provided your Renown is high enough. Reinforcement squads can contain Guards and Iron Golems.

• Use your secondary active ability to print your current Renown level in chat (only you can see this).

• Accepted Renown or higher reduces Villager prices.

• Gain permanent Hero of the Village at an Exalted Renown level.

• Deal more damage with Swords, Longswords, and Halberds.

• Iron armour provides you with more defence than it would to a human.

• Gain additional armour and health while in a Raid.

• Deal more damage when at low HP.

Negative:

• Shunned Renown or lower prevents Villagers from trading with you.

• Reviled Renown makes Villager-aligned mobs hostile.

• Your Renown decreases each morning, or after you respawn.

• You cannot gain Hero of the Village unless you are at Exalted Renown.

• Deal less damage with ranged weapons.

• You have reduced movement speed.

• You take additional damage from magic sources.
