[QUOTE="Tuzenbach, post: 1921367, member: 16155"] Ishmayl, I like the "protect" thing, but some questions. You state that the AC of the KNE can be "loaned" to persons who are wounded. Is it really *that* specific, or can the AC be loaned to persons who are generally in need of it, without necessarily having to be wounded? Also, when the recipient's AC improves, does the KNE's diminish? Lastly, I think it's a cool concept, but slightly weak. It starts at 2nd level with 1 point and can go as high as 5 points at 18th level?! I'd work it so that it'd be a point every two levels with no limit. Thus, 20th level would see up to 10 points being "loaned" and so on. I mean, at 18th level, who even hangs out with persons who'd benefit from a measely 5 points, ya' know? I'm really digging the "bonding" thing. However, why the limit of two persons? If they can bond to more than one person simultaneously, why not just have a limit of one person every ten levels? It's not as if the power would be abused by all those 50th level Knight-errants running around. :-) I agree with John Q. Mayhem about the d12. It seems that the KNE is in a big hurry to give away his hit points. With a d12, he'll at least be that much more confident that he'll have some hps left for himself! I'm a little hazy on the "shield of faith". The math involved is something like 2/-damage reduction. I'm not really a damage reduction expert (heck, I've yet to play 3.0!), so could you clarify for someone as ignorant as myself? Thanks! Martyrdom I'm having difficulties with. Now, I can fully understand the KNE, after learning that a companion failed his saving throw versus a dragon's breath weapon, possessing the ability to state that, in this case, the KNE actually dove in front of the blast, thus shielding the companion and enabling an automatic save.
