Age of Mortals - The Knights of Solamnia

[Brother Shatterstone]

Would taking Knight of the Sword as a class and keeping on advancing with Knight of the Crown with the other be a big no-no? Probably it is, but I'd love it.

Yeah I wouldn't mind doing that also... I can't imagine that being presumable though.

As for time frame, if you look at the timeline in the DLCS you will see the one labeled something like "right now" at the very end. That's the time we are using.

I think Paxus was refering to KoR only. The other two PrCs are very nice, and much easier to get into.

He said they're which would imply more than one, but you might be right. I'm curious as to why you think the other two PrC are so easier to get into? (actually I think you meant to see they are harder judging by your own words latter on.)

Knight of the Crown is the fighters PrC. It is pretty easy to get to.

Indeed it is, I guess the Knights need allot of meat shields.

Knight of the Sword is the Clerics PrC (after wasting atleast one in KoC).Is a bit rougher, but a few levels of KoC will get some of the requirements.

Right as my above example proves but once you take a non casting level, one without spell improvement, your shooting yourself in the foot for the later levels where it's all about caster levels.

Knight of the Rose is 'meant' to represent Paladins. It is also the roughest. You really aren't meant to hit it until after 10th.. 6th lvl Clc +1 lvl KoC + 3 lvl KoS at bare minimums (without Gestalt).

My above example held to this requirement and managed to make it in 9 levels but honestly how effective of a character did I end up with?

PS: You are required to hang out in KoS for atleast 3 lvls.

Which along with forced feat selections ends up weakening your character... This is no big surprise, I don't have the book in front of me, or even in this state, but I do remember that Knights of the Sword stunk in 2nd edition also.

You forgot the full caster progression, which IMO is a very plussy kinda thing.

It might be plussy, but it is required, your cleric levels would end up being a waste if you couldn't still improve upon them.

I still think a straight cleric would beat up a typical sword knight of the same level and might even be able to handle the rose knight.

I won't be going towards KoR, but I don't want to get those other feats.

Probably a smart move... To be honest if my character's history was so influenced by the knights than I wouldn’t be either.

I've posted my character, Owain Theron, to the RG thread

CS, I've made one choice that I probably need to run past you. I've given Owain a very ornate suit of full plate armour as part of his wealth. It ties into his background, and as heavy armour is nearly useless to him, so I thought it might be OK. I just thought it could be a handy thing to have around when attending more formal knightly events, rather than turning up in a chain shirt

Oh, and sorry about the delay in getting him posted. I spent a lot of yesterday asleep after spending most of the previous evening and the morning feeling rather ill, and I had to go into the city today.

Goddess, I saw that in your char you listed a morale bonus to saves. Knightly Courage applies only to saves vs fear, its not like a paladin's Divine Grace.

Oops, missed that last sentence. Thanks!

Creamsteak, do you allow the Dragon Steed or Dragon Cohort feats from the Draconomicon?

 

[Shalimar]

Let me send you the info on the Dragonrider PrC, it gives all of the effective Character Level info for the dragons, and tells which ones are actually large enough to ride.

I am working toward it as well, I am aiming for a Juvenile Silver which I should just make at the time I qualify to take the PrC, anything less then Juvenile wont be able to carry us, and only the SIlver Dragons really tend to work with the knights, excepting some rare Bronzes.

Yes and Yes. Both are fine with me.

Fine by me. I guess it is coming out of your money that can be spent on artwork and such, correct?

Dragonrider from Draconomicon, or is this something in the Age of Mortals book that I havn't seen yet?

Give me another day or two before we start. I've been working on a setting.doc file for my newest home game. It's taking up most of my on-the-internet freetime. Once I've cleared that document up (it's at 10 pages now, I estimate 15 will finish it off with trimmings and then I can add the artwork), I'll start working on designing the court and the number of NPCs and world events. I'll also possibly pick up AoM and the first module if it seems interesting to me.

Go ahead and email me the feat and info on the magic leeching whenever you get a chance. I probably won't have the book for two weeks or so because I'll likely order it online to save a few dollars.
