NPC Advice: Knight

Narrative Role

  • Knights represent mobility, skill, and unpredictability. They are elite warriors, scouts, hunters, or agents with personal agendas. Narratively, knights are versatile—they can be loyal champions, cunning assassins, or relentless trackers.
  • They add narrative excitement by being dynamic and dangerous opponents. A knight might appear, challenge the heroes, and then retreat for another day.

Combat Role

  • In combat, knights are fast, mobile threats. They specialize in hit-and-run tactics, flanking, and bypassing defenses.
  • They often target weaker party members, such as casters, with their mobility.
  • Knights may have unique abilities like mounted combat, teleportation, or ambush tactics.

Examples

Cavalry captains, bounty hunters, elite assassins, war beasts, harpies.
