Spoiler:
Starting at 1st level, a knight gains the power to call out a foe and gain various advantages in combat. The subject of the challenge must meet certain requirements as noted in the class description. As the knight gains levels in the class, these advantages become more potent. The knight can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half her knight class level + her Charisma bonus (minimum once per day). Each of the effects described below consumes one daily use of the knight's challenge ability. At 1st level, a knight can issue a fighting challenge against a single foe as a swift action. The knight gets a boost from the challenge and gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves and a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against the challenged foe. If the foe defeats the knight (by reducing her to 0 hit points or less), the knight loses two uses of her knight's challenge ability because of the blow to her ego. The effect of a fighting challenge lasts for a number of rounds equal to 5 + your Charisma bonus (if any). At 7th level, the bonus from this ability increases to +2. At 13th level, it rises to +3. At 19th level, it increases to +4.
Test of Mettle
Spoiler:
Starting at 4th level, a knight can issue a test of mettle. This is a general challenge to all foes within 100 feet. Affected creatures must make Will saves (DC 10 + 1/2 knight level + the knight's Cha modifier). Creatures that fail this save are forced to attack the knight with their ranged or melee attacks (or spells or special attacks) in preference over other available targets. Using this power is a swift action. If the knight is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by any opponent forced to attack her through this ability, she experiences a burst of confidence (from facing a slew of foes) and an additional use of her knight's challenge ability for the current day. AWESOME SMITE [TACTICAL]
Demolishing Smite: Your smite attack punches through your enemy's defenses. For the purpose of this single attack, you can ignore a number of points of damage reduction (except DR/— or DR/epic) up to twice your Charisma bonus (if any). For instance, if your Charisma is 17 (+3 bonus), you ignore 6 points of your target's damage reduction when making a demolishing smite. Overwhelming Smite: Your smite attack can knock an opponent prone. If the attack hits and deals damage, it is treated as though it were also a trip attack. Make a Strength check opposed by the defender's Strength or Dexterity, with all the normal trip modifiers (PH 158). A foe that resists is not entitled to make a trip attempt against you in return. You can attempt an overwhelming smite only once per round. Seeking Smite: Your smite attack is uncannily guided to its target. For the purpose of this single attack, you ignore any miss chance your foe might have, though your weapon must still be able to strike the target. Thus, while this maneuver allows you to strike an incorporeal creature unerringly with a magic sword, it does not allow you to strike it with a nonmagical weapon.

If room and situation permits Astinos opens combat by scanning the battlefield for either the most dangerous opponent or the best strategic position, and issueing his Knight's Challenge (swift action). He then holds his action until his chosen opponent begins to act. Once his opponent is prepared and no longer flat footed, he charges on chariot, ramming them if possible and attacking with his spear. If opponent is a caster he attempts to interrupt their casting.
In the following rounds he holds his position facing opponents as they come and trying to make it difficult to get past him. He will aways try to be as far into the front line in the thickest part of the battle if possible and always targets the most powerful or deadliest opponent. If on foot, his tactics are similar, opening with a charge on foot. Often before a battle he will activate Detect Evil to select those opponents with the blackest souls. He prefers to utilize his Smite on a Charge with his spear. His sword is his backup weapon unless facing constructs or something else requiring the unbreakable strength of it's adamantine blade. Astinos is always the person who volunteers to hold the enemy while the party retreats or obtains an objective. Racial

Raised by the Clergy of Athena since he was 5, Astinos was brought up in the ways of the goddess. He learned to revere Wisdom, just action, intellect and invention, but it is in martial instruction that he shone. While his older sister studied with the priestesses, she eventually fell in love with a local Athenian minor noble and married. It is at this point in his life where the now adolescent Astinos completely devoted himself to the ideals of his beloved goddess. Athena, goddess of War, but more importantly, Goddess of Just Conflict. The young warrior immersed himself completely,training body, mind heart and soul with equal fervor. Always with a cheerful grin and a good word for his companions, he garnerd the notice of his superiors, and the admiration of his fellows,(who gave him the nickname Promachos) and after handling himself most admirably in a few notable conflicts he is considerd a trusted agent and representitive of the church. It is whisperd around campfires at night that the young man occasionally hears Athena's voice, though he himself has neither admitted nor denied this. Description
Spoiler:
Astinos is nothing short of stunning. Seeming as if carved from marble, and carrying himself with the bearing of a warrior-born, it is of whispered that this man is blessed by the gods. His long raven black hair and chiseled features are more than enough to turn heads, but it is his steel grey eyes with their crystalline intensity that give pause to all who meet them. When dressed in the full regalia of his armor, the polished relief of Athena gleaming on his shield, his presence is almost overwhelming. Goals
Spoiler:
Astinos seeks to one day, through his actions on the field of battle, bring to Athena the glory and honor that Achilles brings to Ares. Wealth

This spell causes instant growth of a humanoid creature, doubling its height and multiplying its weight by 8. This increase changes the creature’s size category to the next larger one. The target gains a +2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC due to its increased size. A humanoid creature whose size increases to Large has a space of 10 feet and a natural reach of 10 feet. This spell does not change the target’s speed. If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the creature attains the maximum possible size and may make a Strength check (using its increased Strength) to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, it is constrained without harm by the materials enclosing it— the spell cannot be used to crush a creature by increasing its size. All equipment worn or carried by a creature is similarly enlarged by the spell. Melee and projectile weapons affected by this spell deal more damage. Other magical properties are not affected by this spell. Any enlarged item that leaves an enlarged creature’s possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size. This means that thrown weapons deal their normal damage, and projectiles deal damage based on the size of the weapon that fired them. Magical properties of enlarged items are not increased by this spell XP & alignment: Spoiler:
