[QUOTE="Hackenslash, post: 942784, member: 11770"] [b]Hmmm...Death knights...!!![/b] Hello All, I think the quintessential death knight is the fallen hero, who has to spend the rest of eternity in pain and suffering, because of some unforgivable betrayal or evil act, but still has his code of honor and integrity intact. Also, I think that I would use the "Death Knight" as a powerfull pawn of some even more powerfull outsider or entity. It would be cool to witness the humbleing, maybe thru clenched teeth, acts of the Death knight when he speaks to, or is in the presence of his "Master". Maybe it was the actions/abilites/spells etc... of the "Master" that turned the once noble hero into a Death Knight during a moment of extreme stress and/or weakness on the heros part. How about even letting the PC's free the Death Knight thru some extremely heroic acts to turn him into an "Emancipated Spawn" (Savage Species) type character who will eventually regain his former morals and ethics but would still forever be cursed with Undead Status. However the PC's gain a valuable ally in the future as they now have the thanks of a "Death Knight" who is no longer under the control or at the whim of the "Master". Some cool possibilites there I think. Our fellow Enworlder and my personal friend "Lord Vangarel" should have a say on this thread as his "alter Ego" is a Death Knight, from his own campaign world, [url]www.aranor.co.uk.[/url] Over all I enjoy the concept of the Death Knight and would recommend anyone to use one in his/her campaign. Cheers all :D [/QUOTE]
