Just wrote this for the Frankenstein of a house rule set I'm currently calling "Goblin-Dragons on Crack." It's a sort of mash-up of rules I like from Knock!, the GLoG and various editions of D&D. If your familiar with any of those it ought to look at least vaguely familiar.
I wanted to make something that filled the fantasy of a quixotic weirdo wandering around following their Code of Chivalry to ridiculous conclusions. That's pretty self explanatory from the class, though. The system is a work-in-progress, so things like equipment, and skills if I decide to add them aren't quite there yet.
As a knight, you are sworn to uphold your oaths at all costs. In the darkest moments, your quixotic devotion to these oaths brings you strength. Write down two oaths you have sworn to uphold. Some sample oaths include:
Serve your liege lord with utmost loyalty in all matters.
Defend the innocent against any who would harm or oppress them.
Defend your honor and the honor of all who deserve it, even with your life.
Live in poverty and humility, give every penny you can spare to those in need.
Each time you heedlessly throw yourself into danger in defense of your oaths, your resolve is only strengthened. When you take an action that has a great material or mortal cost to you, in service to one of your oaths, you gain a Chivalry Die. You can gain a Chivalry Die for upholding an oath even when upholding one oath contradicts the other.
You may spend a Chivalry Die on any turn after you gain it to add a d6 to an attack roll or saving throw. You may only have one Chivalry Die at a time for the oath you gained it from.
At 4th level Chivalry Dice become d8s.
When an adjacent ally would take damage from an attack, you can choose to take that damage for them. This ability has a 4-in-6 chance of succeeding.
If this action serves your oath, and the damage incurred seems seriously likely to harm you, you may gain a Chivalry Die.
To uphold your knightly status, you must uphold even those oaths sworn in the heat of the moment. Once each day, you may swear to carry out a specific goal, so long as they do not violate your original two oaths.
While you are sworn to this goal, you may gain a Chivalry Die for costly actions in service to it. You may only swear another Oath of Moment once you have fulfilled your previous one or fulfilling it has become impossible.
Once per day, you may spend a Chivalry Die to get a critical success on an attack roll or saving throw that directly serves one of your oaths.
