CAIN: The Knight

My shield shall deflect any dart. My armor shall withstand any assault. My walls shall stand for eons. You need not fear your enemies anymore, for they can do nothing to you. You need not worry about the world anymore, for it cannot touch you. Nothing can hurt you again, I will ensure it.

You will be safe. Forever.

The Knight is a homebrew Sin expansion for Tom Bloom's CAIN, a narrative TTRPG about psychic death soldiers hunting down monsters born from human trauma. Formed from the psyche of those who believe they must protect others, Knights are burdened with a duty to save those entrusted to them. Such obsessive protection shall invariably lead to death. 

The Knight offers a "positive" and sympathetic spin on a Sin, its generally noble purpose betrayed by its nature. Knights are perfect for a more reasonable antagonist that can be negotiated with, and are well-suited for hunts with multiple Sin confrontations, strong non-combat focus, palace infiltration/heists, or as the lesser evil of a Sin duo. Alternatively, it could cut down all who inflict the slightest discomfort upon its trustees and play the role of a more traditional opponent. Regardless, the Knight is a unique challenge for your exorcists that, hopefully, will make for some memorable sessions.

Until the Stain is wiped away.
