### Multi Classing

+1 Str, +1 Def

 The Knight class is designed to help take damage and serve as a tank. The Tanks are designed to attract attention of a target in order to make sure they take more damage than their allies. Because of this Knights generally have higher HP and armor then their party and also generally move slower than their party for the same reasons. If your party has trouble taking too much damage too quickly then, it may be worth it to invest in a Knight.

### Knight Abilities

#### Fire Keeper

Fire Keepers generally guard large groups often while travelling. Fire Keepers often teach people how to fight and are seen positively. They always have a fire with them. They see the fire as the projection of one's self. They see it as a part of their own party. They use the fire to light the way and are the party's protectors at night. A Fire Keeper may be what keeps a party from getting ambushed in the night, or in the day. Fire Keepers generally use melee attacks but unlike soilders do sometimes use magic.

##### ***Level 3***

**Life Fire**

As long as the is lit and is within 30 feet of them the Fire Keeper has perfect dark vision. Also the Fire Keeper has 3 extra spell slots for Fire Keeper magic. The Fire Keeper also can make his melee attacks magical with fire damage by focusing in on it and spending a turn to convert it.

Should the user either not be within 30 feet of the fire they lose all the previous effects. The user returns to their race dark vision. They lose the Fire Keeper spell slots, and they can't turn their melee attacks into magical attacks.

Should the fire go out within the 30 feet or farther the Fire Keeper takes 1d6 fire damage. All the other effects for not being in the range of the fire.

Any enemy that is foolish enough to get within 10 feet of the Fire Keeper cannot leave 60 feet of the fire unless the Fire Keeper has no issue with them leaving. This looses its affect if the Fire Keeper leaves the range, or falls unconsious. The Fire Keeper also gets 1 more spell slot. They can pick 1 spell from either previous level.
