They may receive meals, lodging andreplacement of nonmagical weapons from nobles and royals in Keoland and Gran March.When mounted in combat, they receive a 1-point bonus to attack rolls.***Yeah man, brutal.  A free horse and +1 to hit whilst mounted.  You'd better set those entry requirements pretty high.***DispatchersSpecial Benefits: Dispatchers can expect hospitality anywhere in the realms they protect and can depend on their fellows for aid. Dispatchers choose one type of humanoid as a sworn enemy; after six months in the order, they gain a 2-point bonus to attack rolls versus that race.***Woooo-ee!  Lookit me, I'm a half-assed Ranger!***I guess we now know why neither class got an official port to 3.x, wouldn't you say?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />All mocking aside, armed with the above and the 3.0 port of the Watchers, it should be easy for you to re-skin an existing PrC to fit the Dispatchers.  Right now, I'm imagining something like Rangers-who-follow-an-arbitrary-Code-to-get-Paladin-spells.OK...  NOW have I answered the question completely?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /></blockquote>
