Blood Knight>

“

Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

”

Most people who fight have a certain cause that drives them. This cause may be many things, Virtuous or Sinful, Orderly or Randomized, but they are all causes, external reasons to take up arms. The Blood Knight however, is different. To the Blood Knight, the only drive to fight is the act of fighting itself. No more, no less.

Becoming a Blood Knight

Characters pursue this class for one reason: To live and die for the sake of battle itself. Typically a Blood Knight will value her physical stats above her mental, though it is not unheard of one fighting with her mental prowess. It is difficult, but not impossible, for anyone not already devoted to combat to join the ranks of the Blood Knight, so while a Rogue is not unheard of joining, it is more likely that Fighters, Barbarians, and especially Knights would pursue such a career, with the occasional Ranger cropping up.
