Class Features
Spoiler:
Channel Divinity: Divine Mettle Paladin Feature
Your unswerving faith in your deity empowers a nearby creature
to resist a debilitating affliction.
Encounter ✦ Divine
Minor Action Close burst 10
Target: One creature in burst
Effect: The target makes a saving throw with a bonus equal
to your Charisma modifier.
Channel Divinity: Divine Strength Paladin Feature
You petition your deity for the divine strength to lay low your
enemies.
Encounter ✦ Divine
Minor Action Personal
Effect: Apply your Strength modifier as extra damage on
your next attack this turn.
Divine Challenge Paladin Feature
You boldly confront a nearby enemy, searing it with divine light if
it ignores your challenge.
At-Will ✦ Divine, Radiant
Minor Action Close burst 5
Target: One creature in burst
Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until
you use this power against another target, or if you fail
to engage the target (see below). A creature can be subject
to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a
mark that was already in place.
While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack
rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target.
Also, it takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma
modifier the first time it makes an attack that doesn’t include
you as a target before the start of your next turn. The
damage increases to 6 + your Charisma modifier at 11th
level, and to 9 + your Charisma modifier at 21st level.
On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged
or challenge a different target. To engage the
target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent
to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn,
the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge
on your next turn.
You can use divine challenge once per turn.
Special: Even though this ability is called a challenge, it
doesn’t rely on the intelligence or language ability of the
target. It’s a magical compulsion that affects the creature’s
behavior, regardless of the creature’s nature. You can’t place
a divine challenge on a creature that is already affected by
your or another character’s divine challenge.
Lay on Hands Paladin Feature
Your divine touch instantly heals wounds.
At-Will (Special) ✦ Divine, Healing
Special: You can use this power a number of times per day
equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), but only once

Minor Action Melee touch
Target: One creature
Effect: You spend a healing surge but regain no hit points.
Instead, the target regains hit points as if it had spent a
healing surge. You must have at least one healing surge
remaining to use this power.

Spoiler:
Human Perseverance
Improved Initiative
Righteous Rage of Kord
Toughness
Originally, he was a member of an Order devoted to the Lord of Battle, as they refer to "Kord." However, he and his fellows were betrayed by members who were secretly following a demon lord. A battle ensued. Due to the demon-worshippers' planning, The Rogue Knight and his friends were ejected from the Order's castle. Fighting a rear guard action, The Rogue Knight suffered a head blow that knocked him out but fortunately convinced the demon worshippers he was dead. The Rogue Knight awoke a few days later. There was no sign of his companions nor the enemy. However, the head wound seriously damaged his memory and recall. Hence, Int 8.
He now wanders the countryside, teaching the common people strength and self-reliance, virtues that the Lord of Battle approve of.
