[AU] My favorite Champion cause is...

[garyh]

Simple question, what's your favorite Champion cause? If you've created your own, give us the scoop below! My vote was Life, if you're interested.

i chose Death. as soon as i got to the mention of life as a cause, i immediately thought of Death as the cause to champion. not in the "Death! Blood! and Vengence!" way, but more in the: "Death is a natural part of life and you've reached the end of your usefulness to life" way. and then i read that Monte mentioned it as a posibility. very cool stuff.

Yeah, what he said.

I like all of them, but I do wish there was a more...expansive list for Champion causes. Maybe like Law or Civilization. Or perhaps another like Honor or Duty. Something like that.

True, I'd like to see more official ones myself, but two things make that less worrisome:

1) We have six examples to work from and a sidebar with guidelings for help in creating our own.

2) Adding more causes, or totem animals, or even witch styles, sounds like something likely to be in future books.

Of the extant ones, I'm a fan of Freedom. But I'd really like to see Knowledge and/or Truth. I'm a fan of warrior-scholars.

I like the idea of racial or tribal champions... very primal and archetypal.

but the knowlege/truth one sounds fun too...

Well, those would vary a bit, wouldn't they? Depending greatly on the nature and outlook of the tribe/race. And it may be getting a little bit away from the intention of the class. The Champion really seems to be geared towards causes and concepts rather than groups.

Besides, there may simply be better mechanics for the idea of a tribal/local champion from other classes. Animistic tribes might do better with Totem Warriors or Totem Warrior/Greenbonds rather than Champions, for example. And maybe an Oathsworn would be better for groups that have a form of Ancestor worship, rather than Champions.

btw- Not trying to jump up and down on your idea. Just thinking out-loud.

I chose Death, but Light comes in a close second. An AU Champion of Light is, in many ways, much cooler than your generic paladin. I know drawing the comparison is cliche, but I can't help it. I'm crazy for Paladins, and Champions are right up there in my book!
