View source for Avalanche Knight (3.5e Class)

===Adopter's Note===
I reworked Cascading Blow and Champion's Strike from the originals for balancing purposes, and I added a few abilities. Originally, the class only had Cascading Blow, Execution, Champion's Strike, and the Bonus Feats. If you want to use the originals from before I adopted the class, here they are:

::'''{{Anchor|Original Cascading Blow}} {{Ex}}:''' When an avalanche knight's melee attack drops an opponent, he may apply the excess damage to the opponent's nearest ally without an attack roll (damage reduction and miss-chance still applies. If there is a tie, the monster with the lowest HP is targeted), following through until he has run out of targets or damage. The avalanche knight must have a line of effect to the target. He may damage enemies outside of his melee range, but common sense should be exercised by the DM in extreme cases. Should the avalanche knight use feats such as Cleave or Whirlwind Attack, the extra attack rolls are resolved after all of his damage has been expended.

::Example: Cypren the avalanche knight lashes out against a Fighter (10 hitpoints) with his greataxe, doing 22 damage. He can choose whenever to apply all 22 damage to the knight, or 11 damage (enough to render him unconscious) and another 11 to his friend.


::'''{{Anchor|Original Champion's Strike}} {{Ex}}:''' The bravery and sheer strength of the avalanche knight reaches a point where he can mow down an entire band of what he deems as lesser foes in a single strike. When invoking this ability against a hostile target, the avalanche knight applies only the damage modifier of his successful melee attack to an enemy that has two less hitdice than him. Should his damage meet or exceed the target's total hitdice, it is instantly slain or knocked out as appropriate, and gains the +2 damage bonus from Execution. The avalanche knight can apply Champion's Strike to any eligible enemy in the resulting Cascade. Should his damage fail to exceed the target's hitdie or he chooses an invalid target (including one that is not hostile), the attack automatically misses and the cascade ends.


====Epic Avalanche Knights====

Avalanche knights have no need to take epic levels (And they can't, technically, since the class only has 5 levels anyway).
