----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Class: Gallant (Bard)
|
||
Specialty: Romantic Warrior (cavalier).
|
||
Qualifications: Standard ability scores. Gallants cannot be neutral
|
||
evil. Most Gallants are neutral good.
|
||
Introduction: <omitted unless you request it, as it's a lot to
|
||
type in from the book>
|
||
Description: <ditto>
|
||
Secondary Skills: <nobody uses these anymore, eh?>
|
||
Weapon Proficiencies: Gallants must select the jousting lance for use
|
||
in tournaments. Being the romantic fighters that they are, it is
|
||
important that Gallants keep their weapons in perfect order and
|
||
well polished.
|
||
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Bonuses: Dancing, Etiquette, Poetry,
|
||
Languages (Ancient). Suggested: Animal Training, Armorer, Artistic
|
||
Ability, Blacksmithing, Blind-Fighting, Bowyer/Fletcher, Languages
|
||
(Modern), Leatherworking, Musical Instrument, Riding (Land-Based),
|
||
Reading/Writing, Singing, Weaponsmithing.
|
||
Armor/Equipment: Gallants are allowed to wear any form of armor, even
|
||
those not normally allowed to the core bard. However, Gallants are
|
||
more interested in quality and appearance than in the armor's actual
|
||
protection. They will don a gleaming suit of chain mail instead of
|
||
a dented suit of plate mail. A suit of studded leather +1 is more
|
||
appealing to them than the gleaming chain, but padded leather +4 is
|
||
even better (i.e., the bigger the magical bonus the better,
|
||
regardless of the armor type). However, of all forms of armor,
|
||
elven chain mail is most prized by the Gallant.
|
||
The same logic holds true for all of their equipment.
|
||
Special Benefits:
|
||
Essence of Purity: Because Gallants are so infused with love, beauty,
|
||
and the aspirations of a romantic, they seem to hang onto life when
|
||
others would allow it to slip away. Thus, Gallants gain a bonus of
|
||
1 hit point each level (in addition to any Constitution' bonuses).
|
||
Furthermore, if a Gallant fails a saving throw that will result in
|
||
his death, the saving throw is rerolled for a second chance.
|
||
Even when a Gallant is slain, he does not immediately drop over
|
||
dead. Rather, he lingers on long enough to recite on final tragic
|
||
poem for those who will listen. If the Gallant is slain in combat
|
||
while defending love, innocence, or beauty (including members of
|
||
the opposite sex), the Gallant hangs on and fights for another
|
||
1d4 rounds or until struck for additional damage equal to his
|
||
level. Then he recites his poem and dies.
|
||
Code of the Gallant: Gallants all live by a code of ethis that has
|
||
slowly eveolved over the years. <condensing now> If true to this
|
||
code, he gains an inner confidence and peace that results in a +2
|
||
bonus that can be applied to either his attack roll, damage roll,
|
||
Armor Class, or saving throw each round (cannot be split up, and
|
||
once used, it isn't available until the next round).
|
||
If a Gallant breaks this code, the bonus is lost until Atoned.
|
||
The Code of the Gallant: <tell me if you want it typed in>
|
||
Romantic Appeal: Sort of an Influence Reactions. Could get members
|
||
of the target group jealous, instead, though...
|
||
Poetic Charm: Sucker some fool into falling in love with you.
|
||
Non-magical, and lasts until you screw up.
|
||
(I stab him! Does he still love me?)
|
||
Special Hindrances: A Gallant is a wanderer who never builds a
|
||
stronghold. At fifth level, however, a Gallant gains a squire.
