The Black Knight build for an Player <3.5>
How would you make the Black Knight from Fire Emblem in D&D? I realise he needs to be human and have at least a few levels in both knight and warblade. Anything else?
Edit: One of the other PCs died in the Kraken attack of Stormhaven, and needs to build a new character. He wants to play The Black Knight, but has no computer to "optimize"Last edited by LichPrinceAlim; 2010-03-08 at 01:46 PM.

Re: The Black Knight build for an Player <3.5>
Hmm...
About the whole human thing....
Radiant Dawn Spoilers!
SpoilerTBK/Zelgius has some laguz blood in him and therefore ages much more slowly and has enhanced abilities, so human would not be the best choice. Someone with more knowledge of the various races could suggest a better choice.
Alignment-wise, I could TN, LN, or LE, maybe NE.Last edited by Smiling Knight; 2010-03-08 at 02:04 PM.
What I learned from Bioshock:
1. Unregulated freemarket capitalism leads, inevitably, to zombies. Genetically modified, super-zombies. This is an incontrovertible law of nature and should be taken into account whenever economic planning is done at a national level. The next time you meet a hardcore capitalist, just ask them if they are pro-zombie and see what they have to say for them self.

Not really, his ancestry is not divine, though the stat bonuses would fit a charismatic leader like him.
You may want to make up your own template and fluff it (depending on your campaign setting) as "were-blooded," give it increased strength and con, but have him be discriminated against if the citizens discover the knight's true nationality.What I learned from Bioshock:

And I'd also like to note I've never played Fire Emblem, but he has, and beaten EVERY one (including unreleased Japanese ones)

Re: The Black Knight build for an Player <3.5>
You could make him a Shifter if you want the "were-blooded" feel. Given Black Knight is pretty much a non-magical badass, and the Eclipse is very similar to simple "Diamond Nightmare Blade", I'd say a straight Warblade would be quite appropriate.

Make it extremely easy to cut off his limbs and make it so he thinks he's invincible?

That is one phrase that should rarely be needed. People (especially RPG gamers) tend to just know the Holy Grail. Flying Circus and Meaning of Life may trip them up, and many don't know Life of Brian, but Holy Grail? Everyone knows that. Originally Posted by Kyuubi

Definitely a Shifter Warblade. Originally Posted by Eldariel

That level of awe-inspiring toughness doesn't really translate to 3.5 well unless your party's mages tend to be evokers and healbots.

Re: The Black Knight build for an Player <3.5>
I also thought a level dip or two in knight would give a couple decent abilities. Originally Posted by Mando Knight
