[QUOTE="delphonso, post: 8043208, member: 6892015"] Looking back on my post, it seems a bit curt - I forgot to mention that I like the idea of a knight class, more closely tied to heavy armor and being a good guy. I think there's space for it in DnD (for those opposed, think Warlock between Wizard and Sorceror). I think Mercer's old gunslinger had grit points which could be recovered by tough actions like "felling a significant foe". A note to the DM about awarding vow points for knightly action might make a good variant rule. Really like the idea of more Int characters. An idea: a vow being a source of additional actions.
