Imperial Knight

Aura of Order, Sense Chaos, Smite Chaotic, Sundering Sword Technique.

Aura of Order (Ex)
An Imperial Knight projects an aura of order equal to twice his Imperial Knight level.

Sense Chaos (Su)
At will, an Imperial Knight can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 30 feet and determine if it is chaotic, with a successful Sense Motive skill check. The DC for an item is equal to 15 + the caster level of the item. The DC for an individual is equal to 15 + the CR of the creature.

Smite Chaotic (Su)
Also at 1st level, once per day, an imperial knight can call out to the powers of order to aid him in his struggle against chaos. The imperial knight can attempt to smite chaotic as a normal attack action. The imperial knight adds his Charisma bonus (if any) to his attack rolls and adds his imperial knight level to all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. This attack is treated as good aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. If the imperial knight attempts to smite a creature that is not chaotic, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for the day. At 3rd level, and at every two levels thiseafter, the imperial knight may smite chaotic one additional time per day to a maximum of five times per day at 9th level.

An imperial knight channels chakra through his weapon to strike at his opponents, often dealing high damage and weakening enemies. Starting at 1st level and every two levels thereafter, the imperial knight gains a new sundering sword technique. Each ability uses the imperial knight's chakra pool to channel power. An imperial knight can use any available sundering sword technique until his chakra pool is depleted. All sundering sword techniques are considered law aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Due to the nature of the techniques an imperial knight must be wielding a slashing weapon of some sort to use sundering sword techniques. Exotic slashing weapons will be approved by the GM based on racial background.

Starting at 2nd level, you excel in using your armor and shield to frustrate your enemy’s attacks. During your action, designate a single opponent as the target of this ability. Your shield bonus to Defense against that foe increases by 1, as you move your shield to deflect an incoming blow, possibly providing just enough protection to turn a telling swing into a near miss. This shield bonus increases to +2 at 6th level and +3 at 10th level.

When you reach 4th level, an opponent that begins its turn in your threatened area treats all the squares that you threaten as difficult terrain. Your strict vigilance and active defensive maneuvers force your opponents to move with care.

At 10th level, an Imperial Knight becomes a conduit of the will of the empire. The Imperial Knight gains DR 5/chaos. In addition, any weapon the Imperial Knight wields is considered Law aligned for purposes of bypassing damage reduction, dealing an additional 1d6 points of Yang damage against all Chaotic opponents and an addition 2d6 Yang damage to all Chaotic Outsiders.
