A Question about the Anointed Knight

[fenzer]

The Book of Exalted Deeds in the Prestige Class chapter states that the PrCs it presents have stiffer requirements than most others. And to quote the book, "Only Characters of good alignment who have earned one or more exalted feats may gain entry." page 42.

It would appear that this is true with the sole exception of the Anointed Knight. The sole feat requirement for this prestige class is Ancestral Relic which is listed as a general feat.

My question is this. Is this by design or an error? My guess is that it is an error and that like The Skylord, page 71, it should list "one exalted feat" as an additional Feats requirement.

Any thoughts?

Ancestral Weapon does have an Alignment (good) requirement; perhaps it was supposed to be an exalted feat.

Ya, I thought of that but it seemed too restirctive. My thought is you don't have to have had a divine encounter to inherit a nifty weapon.

Well, I think I will rule it a typo/errata issue and require an exalted feat in addition.

Thanks for the reply.

I allowed Ancestral Weapon as a general feat IMC.
