Friendly neighborhood DM here.Just wanted to give folks a heads-up on a minor retcon that the group has agreed to.Some background: when I was looking at the Paladin class, I found the idea that there were only lawful good holy warriors a bit odd. Fortunately, at about the time I started the campaign, Dragon Magazine tossed in a couple articles with holy (or unholy) warriors for every alignment. While this was closer to what I was looking for, many of these classes came with some very odd strings attached. But, having no other material, I decided to grit my teeth and move ahead with it.Cut to a few weeks again, when the Delemental shows me his shiny new book, Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords. And he points out the Crusader class to me, and says, "It's a shame this wasn't available when we started three years ago." And I heartily agree with him - so much so that I pick up my own copy of the book. And I read it. And I think.And long story short, all the holy warriors are now crusaders from TBo9S. A brief description from the book itself...Crusader: This holy (or unholy) warrior is devoted to the service of a diety or principle. Through exercises of faith and inner strength, she gains the ability to execute spectacular martial maneuvers and confront those foes anathema to her cause....which is kinda what I was shooting for in the first place. Each alignment of crusaders will essentially be like a guild or an organization: Autumn is still a Sentinel, that's just not what her class is called anymore. Similarly, the neutral evil crusaders in the Archprelate's antechamber (adventure near the end of the first year) belonged to the Corrupter's Guild, and had mastered a particular martial strike that unlocked the evil hidden in every soul. And so forth.Since TBo9S is essentially the wuxia book for D&D, you can expect a lot of spectacular stuff out of Autumn in the near future...as well as from her enemies.Enjoy.</blockquote>
