Cataphract
- Defensive melee unit with abilities that can buff units around him. Has the abilities that Knight's Gauntlet was granting.
Abilities
Defend: Replaces Wait. Gain bonus Block until the following turn. 
Bash: Deal unblockable physical damage to adjacent target. 50% of damage is also inflicted to self. 
Protect: Increase the Block of units around the caster
Developer Note: I was tired of melee units having to turn around to cast this, so I changed it to affect units around the caster.
Battlecry: Increase the Strength, Speed, and Move of units around the caster Always Counter: This passive upgrade allows Cataphract to always counter an attack even if he does did not block it.
Knight's Gauntlet Changes
- Knight's Gauntlet renamed to Cataphract's Gauntlet.
- Bash ability has been added to each tier of Cataphract's Gauntlet.
- New item, Cataphract's Armor, can be created from Cataphract's Gauntlet++ and grants this job.
New Abilities

Sand Throw: and Throw Reduce target's Accuracy by 3. Target regains it the next time he uses Wait.

Quick Attack: Use weapon to attack with reduced damage, but if the attack is successful progress attacker's next turn by 40%

Magic Shell: Target will take no damage from the next spell he receives.

- Summon Skeleton Archer now reduces the caster's HP when cast. (Now that Necromancer has much more utility he no longer needs such an strong ability).
- Removed HP Absorb Upgrade from Necromancer (but he has gained some ability upgrades)
- Slight nerfs to Necromancer stats
- Sentinel HP nerfed (so high it was annoying)
- Lancer gains Physical Resistance upgrade
- Geomancer loses Physical Resistance upgrade
- Immunity extended to other abilities
- Removed Ninja's Magic Resistance, Magic +20%, and Block Upgrade. Now that Ninja has many other abilities I don't want to give it any extra passive upgrades.
- Note: if you already unlocked any of these removed abilities, it stays in your game file as part of your character anyway.
- Quick's effectiveness on a unit's Cast time is halved.
