Skyknight

Class: Skyknight
Prefered Race: Human or Half-Elf
Preferred Weapon: Lance, longsword, rapier or javelin.
Background: The Skyknight is a respected and prestigous class of warriors. When a village is under attack by any aerial foe, it is the Skyknights who ride out on their trusted steeds. These giant birds are easily capable of carrying the Skyknight into battle.
Special:
Mount- The Skyknight rides a giant eagle into combat.
Dive- When combatting land-based enemies, the Skyknight will swoop in on his eagle, and pierce the heads of the enemies with his lance, or hew their necks with a quick slash of his longsword.
Aerial Combat Prowess- The Skyknight is a master of the skies, and his lance and javelin put to great use fighting above the heads of any others.
Fencing- If a Skyknight's enemy is also riding winged creature, the Skyknight may leap from his own and fight his foe head to head on the back of his (provided it is large enough to support them both)
Weaknesses:
Mount Bonding- A Skyknight must bond closely with his mount, and if it is slain, he will go into a berserk rage, lasting until either he or the one that slew his mount has been defeated, if the enemy is not slain, a Skyknight will not take a new mount until the death of his last one has been avenged.
Aerial Combat Prowess- On the ground, a Skyknight loses much of his fighting ability, he becomes clumsy in battle, when he swings his longsword, he is often thrown offbalance, his javelin will often miss its target, and his rapier will be ineffective.
Lack of Armor- A Skyknight wears little armor, as his agility is one of his gretest strengths.
