Knight

The Knight is a warrior class in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

“

Specialised in war tactics, knights are trained not only to fight, but to rally troops.

„

— In-game description

Overview

The Knight is a pure melee preset devoted entirely to Warfare skill, supplemented by Two-Handed weapon expertise. Warfare skills provide physical damage and crowd control through knockdowns and charges. The preset favours Strength and Constitution, and starts with a two-handed weapon.

Like all classes in Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Knight is a starting preset rather than a permanent choice. Attribute and ability points can be allocated freely on each level-up, and full respecification is available from Act Two onward via the magic mirror aboard the Lady Vengeance. Enabling the Fort Joy Magic Mirror gift bag feature also makes a mirror available in Act One.

No origin character uses this preset by default.
