Sure, this will work! Thanks!
(I love their art, btw - the pic I would have taken was stolen by someone here, though.

Try and slide in the character stats into the RG. Looks like 2 half-elves (Paxus, are you still considering Half-kender? I would approve those stats listed earlier.)
That's fine. A little more out-of-place than would be standard, but still within reason.
Well, although I could see it fitting in with the setting, I don't like the design they did on this class. To be brief, I think that the vast majority of the special abilities this class gained could have been made better by using the mechanics that exist rather than changing the mechanics. After reading it a couple times, I think it gives me the vibe that they chose the "easiest" way to do this over the most accurate. Another problem I've had with it is the Crippling Strike at 2nd level (10th level rogue ability made available to 8th and 9th level characters from a non-rogue class?)
That said, if you really want to give it a shot, I'm up for seeing it.
Once every 6 months. Summer and Winter court, which consists of much more than the council. It's a full-on Solamnic court, with lots of politics involved. And not everyone involved is a Knight necessarily, so there should be people from far and wide. I've been turning over the idea of beginning the game at Summer Court (and characters that have "just" become Solamnic Knights would have just passed their examination).
Well, I think that virtually any cleric "could" get into the Knighthood. But it will create additional challenges when it comes down to promotions, and I would not doubt it if there are individuals that look "down" on other priests.
You mean, "if they become sword knights." I'll admit that I am lenient in such a way that I would allow PCs to do anything. But, I will say right now that the council will be as hard as is reasonable (I havn't created all the council members yet) for their particular ethos and opinions. If you raised this question, I have no doubt that they would want to force a change of god before they would even consider allowing another cleric to pass. I have no doubt that they would want evidence that a Mystic reveres Kiri and her virtues. Either way, they would likely petition some form of test for this purpose, and it might take two councils to earn your way into the Knights of th Sword, unless you can provide suitable evidence at the first meeting.
I really don't care if it takes you a great deal of time. I'm not ready yet myself (though admittedly it's going to still be a bit before I really am). I want you to play, and I want to give you whatever time you need. Is that alright?

Sure, it's just been one of them there days... Day or two, and I should be finished... I do not like what I have now, but I'm trying to get into the Sword Knight PrC still so I'm not seeing much of a way around the class choices.Creamsteak said:

Also, nobody should forget that occationally the Kingts of the Crown, the Knights of the Sword, or the Knights of the Rose have appointed people to their orders without request. It's rare, but sometimes they basically "force" people into certain ranks either because of evidence of extreme valor and heroism, or more often due to the politics that go on in the order.

Question: is becoming a Knight of the Sword required? For some reason, I'm not enthused about the class. Knight of the Crown is great, though.
Although, I suppose I could work towards Knight of the Rose, thus lessening my time as Knight of the Sword... I was already planning on finishing out the Knight of the Crown class.

Not at all. Where'd you get the idea that it might be? Promotion or attaining a specific order are entirely relative to what you want to do with a character.Goddess FallenAngel said:

I didn't know if it might be part of the game concept.

No there is no requirement for advancement. The knights are ruled by the three highest ranking knights, one from each order, so it's like a tribunal...Goddess FallenAngel said:
The Knights of the Rose is the highest when it comes to prestige though.

That would sort of be cool… As there isn’t to many classes with a high will save that can still be lawful. Bard and Druid are both out, and all the others have been represented at least once.Creamsteak said:
