I painted the Knight fast yes, but I'm not THAT fast

As Defend rolls are not part of the hero's turn, you should re-word "once per turn" into "once per round". That should clarify things.
But that's all I have to complain about.
Simple, concise special rule without any fuss. I like it very much.

The stats are natural, though some are going to say "He's a knight. He has to have either 3 Attack or 3 Defend." I don't think so.
by the way, one could call him "Squire" until he reaches champion status or wears a suit of armor.
Also, once wearing full armor, the special power may become too powerful. Come to think of it I would let his "Riposte" be defended.

Another special rule I thought of (using the same stats as Sotiris, go figure) was
that the knight may re-roll one die after each of his Defend rolls if he wants to.
Also, no movement penalty when wearing plate armor. I deem that almost mandatory for that guy.
To counterbalance that, if you consider it necessary, forbid him the use of the crossbow or all ranged weapons.

Thnx knightkrawler! I'll fix it to "per round" you're right.
Movement: 2 red dice -2 squares and no plate armor's movement penalty
If he had this ability/disability would be better?

Oh didn't read that! Perfect!
If he suffers no penalty from plate armor probably your option 2:"which is defended normally" will be placed but then i'm afraid of too many roll dice..
