Vile Curse (1/Day).

The knight utters hellish words that scald the soul. Living creatures of the knights choice within 30 feet that can hear and understand them are magically cursed for 1 minute. A d4 is subtracted from attack rolls and saving throws made by a cursed creature. A creature immune to the frightened condition is immune to this curse.
