Subject: Pandions
Well this topic of knights has brought up some interesting points. I for one
believe that I can incorporate them into my FR campaign based on the rules
listed below. As to why I want them, I don't like the way the cavaliers were
created and wish to have an alternate class. Just my opinion.
Prime requisites: 15 STR, 15 CON, 14 INT, 10 WIS, 13 DEX, 12 CHA
This should make the order a little difficult to get into, but worthwhile.
Spell nature: Mage spells up to third level. Concert casting may occur with
six or more knights who's levels exceed 40 combined, but with
a minimum level of 4 needed to participate.
Spell awarding: Gain spells at the same rate a mage would, but at one level
lower. A knight would use cantrips at first level, and would
gain third level spells upon reaching sixth level. Only one
spell may be learned per level.
Spell acquisition: Knights learn their spells from a patron mother (mage) who
never adventures with the knight. A knight must return
to this mage for instruction and has a base 75% chance of
being taught a spell, which is modified 2% per point of
intelligence above 15. If the teaching fails the knight
does not learn that spell or any other for that level.
Spell retention: Once taught a spell, the knight retains it in memory and
need not memorize it ever again. Spells and attacks that
affect the mind do have a chance of erasing learned spells
for a period of up to one year, at the DM's discretion.
Spell casting: A knight must concentrate for one round per level of the spell
being cast before releasing the spell. This time is needed
for remembering the spell. Cantrips may be cast immediately
and need no additional prep time. Only one spell per day may
be cast by a knight, as the memory recall is muddled after the
casting. Armor does not affect the effects of the spell, as
the teaching was designed to accomidate it. No components or
holy symbols are needed as the knights faith delivers the
magic.
Spell origination: Each knight must pay homage in some fashion to Mystra,
goddess of magic. It is from her that they gain their
abilities. This need not be total loyalty, only token
recognition of where the powers come from and gratitude.
Patron mothers: Women who have been called by Mystra to teach Pandion Knights
the way of magic. Mystra's reasons are her own, but could
possibly be related to her desire to be worshipped in what-
ever way she can manage. Patron mothers live until destroyed
or have completed their mission, or have offended Mystra.
They do not age or suffer from common ailments or diseases.
Note: They can be murdered by ordinary means.
If you have any additions to this outline, please feel free to make them
