[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 2377776, member: 13739"] I've changed the favored weapon for heavy shield, which is a stated weapon. But I would allow you to choose between the heavy shield and the longsword for the Pious Templar. Even if the longsword isn't the favored weapon of Crian, it is the weapon of the Order. Crian, during his life, was using a sword and a shield, and the shield become more symbolic, but the sword and shield have been instaured as standard weaponery of the order. For the Pious Templar, I like that class for the Order. When you join the order, you start as a follower, that can be a soldier or any no combat porfession, like a craftman, scribe, ect... If you show interest in becoming a knight, you have to become a squire. To become a squire, you must prove your faith in Crian (stats talking, you need the True Believer feat). After some time as a Squire, you can become a Knight (stats talking, you can take your first level of Pious Templar). It would well represent the hierarchy in the knighthood. If you like that idea, we will go like that, but in that case, I would not see very fit to take levels in Paladin. I would see Paladin as member of another order (dunno which one yet). Oh, not really concerning you, but for the order, I would see blacksmith not being considered followers, but being above that rank, as the works of the blacksmiths have made the rock the most famous metal industry in all the peninsula.
