Character Creation

[b]Chivalric Code:[/b] Knights are bound by a stringent code of honour, which they strive to uphold in all their deeds. A knight does not earn any experience points for deeds performed at odds with this code. The fundamentals of this code are: preference of death over dishonour; service of the knight’s liege as the greatest honour; glory in single combat; defence to the death of any in the knight’s charge; honouring of superiors; respect of equals; demanding obedience from inferiors; scorning the ignoble.

[b]Dishonor:[/b] A knight who brings dishonour upon themselves or their liege (this may include changing alignment) may have their knighthood revoked. In this case, the character becomes a fighter of equivalent level. It may be possible to re gain the status of knighthood by performing a special quest.

[b]Combat:[/b] Knights can use all melee weapons but cannot use missile weapons (they regard these as dishonourable). They can wear
any metal armour but scorn non-metal armour as only suitable for peasants and villains.

[b]Prowess of Arms:[/b] Knights regard armour as a symbol of prowess and status, always favouring the most impressive and impervious-looking armour available.

[b]Single Combat:[/b] In a battle, a knight must attack the most powerful or worthy foe in single combat.

[b]Flying Mounts:[/b] A knight of 5th level or higher can train fantastic, flying monsters as mounts. This takes one month. In general, a knight may train flying monsters of Hit Dice at most equal to the knight’s level. The use and training of flying monsters as mounts is at the referee’s discretion.

[b]Horsemanship - Assessing Steeds:[/b] Knights are expert riders and can assess the worth of any steed. This allows a knight to determine
whether an animal has low, average, or high hit points for its type.

[b]Horsemanship - Urging Great Speed:[/b] From 5th level, a knight can urge their steed to great speed, increasing its movement rate by 30’ (10’) for up to 6 turns, once per day.

[b]Hospitality:[/b] A knight of 3rd level or higher can expect hospitality and aid from nobles and other knights of the same alignment or social affiliation (e.g. order, religion, noble house, etc.). A knight is expected to extend such hospitality in kind.

[b]Mounted Combat:[/b] Knights gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls when mounted.

[b]Strength of Will - Fear:[/b] Knights are immune to all supernatural fear effects. From 3rd level, companions within 10’ of the knight gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against fear effects, and retainers and mercenaries under the knight’s command within 10’ gain a +2 bonus to loyalty or morale.

[b]Strength of Will - Beguilement:[/b] Knights gain a +4 bonus to saving throws against hold spells, charms, mind control, hypnotism, suggestion, etc. They gain a +2 bonus to saving throws against illusion, and gain a saving throw (one is not normally allowed) against sleep spells.

[b]Stronghold:[/b] Any time a knight of 3rd level or higher wishes (and has sufficient money), they can build a castle or stronghold and control the surrounding lands. The permission of the knight’s liege is always required.

[b]After Reaching 9th Level:[/b] A knight may be granted a title such as Baron or Baroness. The land under the knight’s control is then known as a Barony.
