Untouchable Dance

Starting at 1st level, you master the signature style of an untouchable knight: the untouchable dance, a fighting style that requires its user to keep himself moving while avoiding strikes. You gain the following benefits while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• Your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

• Whenever you take damage from a non-magical attack made with a weapon, you can roll a evasion die, which is a d4. You reduce the damage taken by the number rolled. The damage reduction increases to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level and 1d10 at 17th level.

• You can use your Dexterity, rather than Strength, for attacks and damage rolls with melee weapons that lack the heavy or two-handed property.

You can't benefit from this feature if you are unable to move.

Knightly Code

Also at 1st level, you can choose to dedicate yourself to a code, that also determines your style of combat. You can choose between the code of the serpent, the code of the knight, the code of the sacrificer and the code of the ghost, all described at the end of this class description.

• When making a Dexterity saving throw, you can give yourself advantage on the roll against effects you are able to see.
• When you are attacked by a weapon attack, natural weapon or unarmed strike, you can impose disadvantage to that attack.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus, and regain your uses after completing a short or long rest.

Defensive Fighting

Also at 2nd level, at the start of your turn, you can choose to start a defensive fighting. When you do so, all attacks you make and all attacks made against you until the start of your next turn have disadvantage.

In addition, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Skilled Evasion, you regain one use.

Instinctive Evasion

Also at 6th level, you can use Skilled Evasion against spell attacks. You also can use Skilled Evasion to gain advantage on Dexterity saves against effects you aren't able to see.

Deadly Bite

At 14th level, your attacks with one handed melee weapons score critical hits on a roll of 19-20. In addition, whenever you score a critical hit, you regain one use of Skilled Evasion.

Code of the Ghost

Using their mystical dance to connect themselves to the aether, the knights from the code of the ghost are able to trespass the barriers between planes, sliding through the ethereal plane to avoid strikes, move in between spaces without walking and ultimately releasing themselves from the grasp of their physical bodies, achieving ultimate freedom with their dances.

Ethereal Weapons

Starting at 1st level, your connection with the ether allow you to draw from it to create weapons. Ethereal weapons are martial weapons with the light and finesse property, and cause damage equal to your Evasion Die. The damage caused by these weapons is force.

Using a bonus action, you can create a ethereal weapon in each of your empty hands. If the ethereal weapons leave your grasp, they disappear, needing to be summoned again.

In addition, attacks made with Ethereal Weapons ignore non-magical AC granted by armors and shield (but not natural armor).

Quick Jaunt

At 3rd level, you can momentarily assume your ethereal form, escaping an attack and setting a counter attack up. Whenever a creature within 5 feet makes an attack against you and misses, you can cause force damage to that creature equal to your Evasion Die.

Ghostly Step

At 7th level, when you use your Skilled Evasion, you can choose to become slightly incorporeal until the start of your next turn, or until you make an attack or cast a spell. While in this form, you have a flying speed of 10 feet, you can hover, and attack rolls have disadvantage against you. You can also move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.

Ghost Strike

Starting at 14th level, you can become ethereal just before hitting a creature with an attack, passing through physical protections. When you use your Ghostly Step, your next attack made until the end of your next turn is made against an AC of 10, regardless of your target's actual AC.

Code of the Knight

The original order of untouchable knights, these armored warriors learn how to perform complex moves even when encumbered by their metallic shells, rendering even the rare strikes that manage to hit an untouchable knight useless. They take the most out of the armors they use, being able to move in such a way to interpose the most protected parts of their bodies in front of the attack.

Armored Knight

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with light, medium and heavy armor and with shields. In addition, you gain the benefits of your Untouchable Dance even when armored or using a shield.

Guardian Dance

Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to use your swift movement to protect other creatures. Whenever you use Defensive Fighting, you can choose to grant advantage to any attacks made against you, and disadvantage on attacks to any creatures within half your movement speed.

In addition, any creature other than you that takes bludgeoning, slashing or piercing damage while you are in Defensive Fighting has resistance to that damage.

Enduring Protection

Starting at 7th level, whenever you use any of your Skilled Evasion abilities, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage until the start of your next turn.

Warden Rebuke

At 14th level, when you grant resistance to damage to a creature using your Knight features, you can use your reaction to cause the same damage reduced to the attacker, if the attacker is within 5 feet.

Code of the Sacrificer

Sacrificers are adepts of the untouchable dance that although they avoid the pain and wounds of combat, they also embrace they inevitability, and turn their own pain and sacrifice into power. The most skilled amongst followers of the code of sacrifice will never be hurt by anyone other than themselves, and they will use this suffering to empower their strikes and defenses.
