Message: <blockquote data-quote="haakon1" data-source="post: 5693640" data-attributes="member: 25619">In my campaign, Knighthood is something like modern British knighthood.  That is, it's an honor for service to the realm, or to a noble, and it doesn't come with any particular duties or income.There's a knight in my campaign.  He's a monk of Rao, who single-handedly (he had a horse with Horseshoes of Speed, so he got there first) helped the rabble militia of a small village hold off a major raid by orcs and werewolves, taking on the werewolves himself and driving them off.  The local Baronet knighted him for saving the villagers.  (In my campaign in Bissel, there are only two layers of nobility -- the Margrave, who rules the palatine (independent) March of Bissel, and 26 baronets, who in Bissel are called Lord, not Sir.)  He was 8th level (3.5e) when he was knighted.There's another PC who is likely to get a knighthood soon.  She pleased a general in the Margrave's standing forces (the Border Companies) and is getting much of the credit for the party's action in stopping another Baronet from attempting secession.  She'll be made a Knight of the Watch, a order of knighthood that will ask her to do missions on occassion, but will mostly let her continue to adventure.  Their goal -- protecting Bissel and neighboring lands from "barbarians" on the other side of the mountains, giants, etc. -- very much aligns with what she and party do already.  She'll be 7th level (3.5e) when knighted.In another campaign in the same setting, I have a paladin who was "sir" from the start (1st level), just because he's from a noble family, not for any great deeds to his name yet.  He was originally an NPC (from the Sunless Citadel), and was a "Sir" in that source.</blockquote>
