=The Knight: Advice to the Adjudicator=

Though the list is not exhaustive, be aware of game balance and game effects when adding new descriptors. Bear in mind that descriptors with drastic effects should normally be placed in '''Traits''' rather than '''Boons''', as ''Boons'' are very easy to come by in-game. Also, it is generally a bad idea to give Boons that encourage Knights to stay at home, as Knights are the key aggressive pieces in Summer Campaigns, and a game will stagnate quickly if you over-encourage defensive strategies.
<br><br>

=Boons for the Knight=
===Destroyer===
Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'' in a ''Summer Campaign'' with the ''Pillage'' objective, temporarily add +3 to his ''Warcraft''.
===Grand Strategist===
The more armies the knight leads, the more his talents shine! Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'', temporarily add +1 to the ''Battle Rating'' of each army in that ''Summer Campaign''.
===Guerilla Leader===
If the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'', all armies in the same ''Summer Campaign'' gain the ''Stealth'' boon for the duration of that attack.

===Hard Quarry===
The Knight is hard to capture when in the field. During a '''Summer Campaign''' if the Knight is an '''Attack Commander''' and the battle resolution would result in him being captured, he automatically evades capture.
===High Honour===
If this Knight is targeted by ''Manipulation Intrigues'', add +5 to the ''Internal Security'' against that ''Intrigue''.
===Merciless===
During '''Summer Campaigns''' led by this piece, if the ''Campaign'' achieves its objective, then all opposing ''Armies'' are broken (unless ''Indestructible'').
===Tactician===
The knight commands his men with great attention to detail. Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'', temporarily add +2 to the ''Battle Rating'' of one army in that ''Summer Campaign''.
===King-taker===
Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'' in a ''Summer Campaign'' with the ''Checkmate'' objective, temporarily add +3 to his ''Warcraft''.
===Prisonbreaker===
Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'' in a ''Summer Campaign'' with the ''Rescue'' objective, temporarily add +3 to his ''Warcraft''.
===Privateer===
Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'' in a ''Summer Campaign'' with the ''Plunder'' objective, temporarily add +3 to his ''Warcraft''.
===Superior Warcraft===
The Knight has +1 to his ''Warcraft'' rating.

=Drawbacks for the Knight=
===Fuelled===
This piece needs Glamour to be operational. For this piece to take any action or participate in any defence costs 1 Glamour.
===Headstrong===
It's the front, or nowhere at all! If this ''Knight'' is the ''Attack Commander'' on a ''Summer Campaign'', that ''Campaign'' must be the first one in your ''Campaign List''.
===Inferior Warcraft===
The ''Knight'' has -1 to his ''Warcraft'' rating.
===Martyr for the Cause===
The ''Knight'' doesn't know when to retreat! On any ''Summer Campaign'' that the ''Knight'' does not achieve his objective, or any ''War Defence'' where the enemy achieves their objective, this knight is captured.
===Proud===
If this ''Knight'' is the ''Attack Commander'' on a ''Summer Campaign'', that ''Campaign'' must have at least three Armies.
===Reduced Versatility===
Select two campaign objectives out of ''Pillage, Plunder'' and ''Rescue''. The Knight cannot be ''Attack Commander'' for ''Summer Campaigns'' with these ''Objectives''.
===Uncharismatic===
At the start of any battle, roll a D6 for each ''Army'' this ''Knight'' commands. On a roll of 1, that ''Army'' does not contribute its ''Battle Strength'' to this battle.
===Uncomfortable in Command===
If this ''Knight'' is the ''Commander'' on a ''Summer Campaign'' or ''War Defence'', then he cannot have more than 2 ''Armies'' attached to him.
===Weak Fighter===
The ''Knight'' cannot make ''Escape Attempts''. In battle, if all the ''Armies'' with him are ''Broken'' he is automatically captured.

=Traits for the Knight=
===A Warrior, Not a Leader===
The knight enhances his warriors because he is personally a formidable fighting force, but makes little effort to actually direct the men. Whenever the Knight is an ''Attack Commander'', temporarily deduct -1 to the ''Battle Rating'' of each army in that ''Summer Campaign'', but also temporarily add +2 to his Warcraft.
===One Man Army===
The knight is a force of war all on his own, and neither needs nor wants others with him. ''Summer Campaigns'' with this Knight as the ''Attack Commander'' must have zero Armies with them, but can still be launched as normal. ''War Defences'' with this Knight as the ''Defence Commander'' must have zero Armies with them, but can still be launched as normal.
