Overview of content:
New Core Classes
Pierce the veil of the future with the hedge mage and hermit; draw your
sword and make your stand against the heathen with the knight; bond
with the land and lead your people to victory with the noble; serve the
One God and wield power both temporal and divine with the priest; live
for no honor greater than a full belt pouch with the robber baron; or
master the ways of archery with the yeoman.
New Prestige Classes
Enforce the will of the One God with
steel as a Crusader; combine magic and beauty as an Enchantress;
protect Britain as a Lady of the Lake; seek the Grail as a Quest
Knight; or follow one of five different paths as a Spectral Knight,
choosing to be a Black, Blue, Green, Red or White knight.
Nobility
Be judged by your deeds with an innovative nobility
system that replaces alignment; some characters will care little for
their personal honor, such as the robber baron, while others can gain
power from being pure of heart, such as the priest and the quest
knight.
Fate and Destiny
Choose a fate for your character, allowing
him to perform truly epic deeds on your chosen path to glory; but
beware, your destiny, a secret fate your character does not know, looms
close as well.
A New Magic System
A unique spell point system replaces
slots, allowing you to use the spells you know and love from the PHB in
new ways, with sources of power that allow a character's spell energy
to recover more quickly on his favored ground. Depending on the type of
magic you follow, your source of power could be ley lines, mysterious
stone circles, cathedrals of worship, fog-shrouded lakes, or the holy
land itself.
