[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6406334, member: 50895"] Something else to look at as a way to create a knightly/aristocratic organization, especially since your orders implied in your last post really doesn't offer any abilities by level as appropriate to a cavalier order, is using 3PP Kaidan rules regarding the [B][URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/variant-rules-3rd-party/rite-publishing/creating-a-samurai-clan"]creation of a Samurai Clan[/URL][/B]. I've adapted the rules from the Gamemastery Guide for creating a city stat block to fit an organization. You'll note 4 stats of importance are Honor, Morale, Society and Lore. These stats are common to city stat block as well and has the same meaning, except when dealing with the organization, even if located in a city with its own differing stats - when dealing with the organization, its stats trump those of the city they are found. Honor involves the organizations level of an internal code it follows as well as individuals williness to lie. Morale involves how likely or unlikely members of the organization are willing to accept bribes or break from the organizations code for other activities. Society stat involves what the community in the same environs of the organization feel about that organization and how they are treated by them. Lore is the amount of knowledge kept, studied upon and maintained by such an organization. Using the stats, an adventuring party can have certain expectations when dealing with that organization based on these stats. I'm not suggesting not to use Cavalier orders, but in addition to your orders, the samurai clan rules can better help define your organization and specifically how dealing with that organization works with members not in the organization.
