Druidic Knights are fighting-men
that have an affinity for Nature and revere one of the Nature deities. To
become a Druidic Knight, a fighting-man must possess a 13 Wisdom and 12
Constitution and be on good terms with a Druidic Circle or Ranger Order.
The character must approach the Circle or
Order and make an offer of at least 10,000 gp and/or 2-5 permanent useful magic
items given as a gift, they will train him to use the abilities of Wilderness Lore, Pass without Trace and Fast
Movement. In addition they will teach him to use druidic orisons and cast 2/0/0 Druid spells per
day as a 3rd level caster, but he cannot do so while wearing predominantly
metal armor.
In exchange for this, the Druidic Knight
swears fealty to the group and must assist its members in times of need. He can
expect sanctuary at any place held or friendly to the group
Knights are travelling
fighting-men that swear fealty to a nobleman, such as a Duke or Lord or even a
King or Emperor. Knights travel the realms, upholding the Laws and undertaking
quests for their liege. They spend large amounts of time participating in
Tourneys as well, showcasing their martial skills against their equals for land
and monetary prizes.
Due to the even more highly regimented
martial training Knights receive, they gain 2 additional Combat Options and
attack at +1 Attack Rank.
In exchange for the oath of allegiance, a
Knight can expect sanctuary in any establishment in his liege’s region. The
Knight is expected to provide shelter and comfort to other Knights of his liege
as well. If a Call to Arms is made,
the Knight is expected to make haste to his liege’s rally point and perform
whatever duties his liege needs of him.
Knights may be granted baronies after a
long service or particularly important quest and can found a stronghold at that
time.
Paladins are Fighting-men
dedicated to a non-nature deity. Similar to Divine Champions, Paladins are more
militaristic and kick-in the door types who are trained to take action in the
name of the Gods. If there is evil, a Paladin will surely be charged with
ending its existence. To be a Paladin, a Fighting-man must have never performed
an overtly evil act in his career. He must possess a Strength 12, Wisdom 13,
Constitution 14 and Charisma 15.
The character must approach a religious
order and make an offer of at least 10,000 gp and/or 2-5 permanent useful magic
items given as a gift. If accepted, they will train him to use the abilities of
Cure Light Wounds (as the spell)
once per day and Cure Disease and Dispel Evil (as the spells) once per
week each. In addition they will teach him to use clerical orisons and cast 2/0/0 Cleric spells per day as a 3rd level caster.
Warlocks are fighting-men
that have some measure of arcane talent, but eschewed the path of the
Magic-user for the more martial arts. Misunderstood as making pacts with demons
or other dark powers for their arcane ability by most commoners that learn of their
abilities, Warlocks are actually extremely willful warriors that are trained to
reach out and harness their Ethereal fields and bend it to their martial
skills. To be a Warlock, prospective Fighting-men must possess Strength 12,
Intelligence 14 and Charisma 13.
The character must find a Magic-user or
Magical College to learn the basics of spellcraft. In exchange for a gift of
5,000gp and 7-16 magical items in their search for arcane mastery, Warlocks are
taught the ability of Prestidigitation
and in the casting of 2/0/0 Magic-user spells per day as a 3rd level caster. Warlocks
can cast their spells only while unarmored, or if they are wearing non-magical Light
armor or any magical armor. In addition, they may fire a bolt of magical energy
once per round that inflicts 1d6 + Charisma adjustment in magical damage and
can imbue their shield with magical energy that absorbs pure magical damage attacks,
such as magic missile spells.
