Knight

Character Class: Knight

(From the Light Ed.)

Playing the Knight:[]

Knights are noble warriors who will sacrifice anything to uphold their personal honor, defend the weak, and pursue that which is virtuous. They will gladly give up their lives in defense of the church.

Your character may be one of two type of knights: a knight errant or a paladin. The difference is that a paladin works more closely with his or her king and a knight-errant wanders the land seeking justice.

Advantages:[]

Special Miracle Ability: When the Knight's Patience AR reaches 10 or higher, he or she gains the Skill of Miracles: Clerical as a Craft. Knights do not gain any more than 1 Faith per level, but can perform any Clerical Miracles that he or she can afford (with Faith).

Limitations:[]

Knights will only engage in honorable Combat. To this end, the knight will always disregard missile weapons, sneak attacks, or anything else perceived as underhanded. Coming face to face with the opponent in melee combat, is the only way to go.
