Woodland Knight
A woodland knight is a lionhearted protector, fighting with both sword and bow, to seek and fell strong and destructive foes. A woodland knight is almost always associated with a human community, and are often proper knights or royal hunters in the employ of a ruler. Some woodland knights may be knight errant, seeking to defeat her foes as an anonymous protector, or perhaps only for the sake of her glory. Unlike most rangers, a woodland knight is skilled in the use of heavy armor, and often mixes archery as well as melee attacks as their favored fighting style.
