| Level 1+: Knights get all the special abilities of fighters. Any fighter may at the end of a gaming session switch to the knight class (as long as he qualifies due to Chr). There is no adjustment in level as both the fighter and knight classes use the "Ftr" XP advancement. If a character ever loses knighthood, he cannot gain it back for 1 year (unless it was an alignment drift that was corrected in one session).
|
| Level 1: A knight may request any other knight, paladin, or cavalier to give him sanctuary in their castle or stronghold. Unless the Good-Evil axis of the two warriors are in opposition, the castle/stronghold owner must agree to give the knight food, drink, clothing, and shelter for at least 3 days, and cannot challenge him for that period of time. If the knight challenges the owner or has attacked him in the past, this benefit is lost.
|
| Level 1: A knight may align himself with a prince, king, emporer, or lord (9th level warrior or higher). He is then provided all the necessities of life for free for the return of his services should the land be attacked. In addition, the knight may request a number of retainers (usually 0 level men-at-arms) equal to his level at no cost.
|
| Level 1: If a call to arms is sounded for a force comparable to the knight's alignment, the knight must respond or lose knight status.
|
| Level 1: +1 to hit with lances, swords, maces, and flails.
|
| Level 1: +1 on all saving throws; not cumulative with cavalier or paladin bonus.
|
| Level 4: Weapon of Choice: A knight may select any one weapon and be considered three levels higher for purposes of how many attacks per round he has.
|
| Level 4: Effective Charisma with warriors of lesser level than the knight is increased by 1 per 4 levels of the knight (round down, limit=9 at 36th). The fighter bonus is used instead for those levels where it is higher.
|
| Level 4: The Knight may call upon a special war horse as a paladin does.
