Witch-knight is one of my favorite concepts for witches. An armored knight that is sworn to protect and defend witch covens. I have done it many times as Cowans, Witch Guardians, and Wardens. But this one is a witch knight proper.

This PDF is 14 pages (13 pages content) and is PWYW with a suggestion of $5.00. A bit more than my 10 cents per page guide, but lets see what is inside. The art and layout is great. It looks like a 5e book. The art and layout are all given proper credit, so that is a mark above many titles in the DMSGuild.

The Witch Knight is a full martial class of 20 levels with some limited spell-casting ability. The powers the witch-knight gets look good on the surface. It feels like a good playable class. The sub-classes of the Witch Knight are known as Disciplines and there are five of them. The Spellblade and the Eldritch Guardian are my two favorites and fit best with my own concepts of a Witch Knight.

There is a spell list and even a section on brand new spells. So that is a nice bonus.

All in all the class looks like a lot of fun, but I am left wondering (and not just for this one but for my own and others like it) what does this class do that an Eldritch Knight can't already do? The obvious answers are in the powers, but couldn't this just be a way to role-play an Eldritch Knight? However you decide to do it, this PDF has some great ideas.
