About these subclasses

Runeknights channel power from magical runes (crafted, chiseled or drawn) that enhance their own supernatural affinities. This could be an ancient practice that originated from old scholars, a forgotten esoterically minded race or a family tradition. Where you learnt this skill or found these runes could dictate how you apply them – do you wear these runes upon your skin, apply them to your weapons or are they floating engraved tablets that encircle you and empower you?
—
These enigmatic warriors may have been trained to become Runeknights by an order of like-minded or like-talented individuals hoping to spread this runic knowledge. Maybe your Runeknight is more haphazard, having stumbled upon long since deactivated runes and accidentally reignited the magic within them, granting you the inherent knowledge of knighthood contained within. Perhaps your knighthood is less formal, being driven by a sense of nobility and reverence for nature, stonework or gods of the storm. Either way, you are an arbiter for the elements, however this looks for you.
—
The runes, however applied, generate many varied effects, intending to give the Warrior class a higher degree of flexibility and mechanical complexity. While they have less social features, they benefit massively from being a bulwark between powerful enemies and their more fragile allies.
