Call of Duty – A Paladin’s Sourcebook: Chapter 1: Classes and Feats Seelie Knight “Once upon a time…” Somewhere in between reality and illusion lies the realm of the Pixie Queen, the beautiful ruler of all fey, and leader of the seelie court. The seelie court is far removed from the lives of most common people. Nevertheless, its intrigues and struggles often touch the lives of many without them ever knowing it. Still, there are often times when the Pixie Queen needs the direct help of elves or men. The players in the court have long known that those of the mortal races can be a powerful tool. To fill this role, the Pixie Queen sometimes selects a capable character as a seelie knight to represent her interests in the affairs of mortals. The Pixie Queen selects any hero whom she believes to be worthy and attractive. She prefers half-elves more often than any other race, but occasionally selects humans or elves. Seelie knights are usually male, but not always. The seelie knight must play a difficult balancing game at all times between the mortal and fey realms. Seelie knights will always have an adventurous life. They forever are at battle with swords and with words, often at the same time. Seelie knights live with one foot in each of two wildly separate worlds. Few are worthy of the task, but seelie knights dread the thought of a different life. 28 Hit Dice: d8 Requirements Alignment: Any Good Base Attack Bonus: 5+ Feats: Choose any one of the following: Weapon Focus (Shortbow), Weapon Finesse (Rapier), Weapon Finesse (Dagger), Skill Focus (Diplomacy) Skills: Perform (storytelling and singing must be two of your chosen) 4 ranks, Diplomacy 6 ranks Special: Must be selected by the Pixie Queen and accept the Pixie Queens’ Oath.

She can determine if the knight has abandoned the oath simply by concentrating, regardless of range.

As fey, they are strongly associated with nature, as well as the supernatural. They are often found in natural settings of special value, such as secluded glens or ancient forests. Sometimes they are associated with ancient barrow mounds. The actual homes of the members of the court may be hidden within these areas. Or they may actually live in a completely separate plane or pocket dimension, which can only be accessed through entrances at these locations. Virtually any of the fey presented in the MM may be found amongst the Seelie Court. Many other types of fey may also be represented. While the fey of the Seelie Court are generally of good intentions, they often exhibit some of the worst attributes of mankind. Pride, vanity and lust are the flaws most commonly associated with them. magical and you gain Spell Resistance equal to 12 + your seelie knight class level.

The arrow may be crafted as a masterwork arrow first if desired, but the extra hour and skill check are still required. A failed check to make a sleep arrow does not harm the arrow. Only one attempt may be made per day. Sleep arrows revert to normal after ten days if not used, or if used by a non-fey creature other than you. Sleep arrows turn to dust on impact (even if they miss) and deal no damage. However, the target, regardless of Hit Dice, must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be affected as though by a sleep spell. Court Intrigue: Your presence begins to attract a significant level of scrutiny from other members of the court. At least once per month, you must make a Diplomacy check against a DC of 20 plus your seelie knight class level. A successful Sense Motive check against the same DC provides a +2 bonus to the check. If you fail the skill check, you have lost standing within the court. You may regain your lost standing by performing a special quest or favor for the Pixie Queen. The exact details of the quest are up to the DM, but should include the defeat of an appropriately challenging unseelie opponent, either in direct combat, or in some sort of competition or mental challenge. Until the service is complete, you lose any benefits from the Fey Friend, Clear Mind and Fey Mind abilities. Further, a seelie knight in disfavor may not advance to a higher level in the class. If the check is made by ten or more, you have actually enhanced your favor within the court. You gain a +4 bonus to any one Charisma or Charisma based skill check within the next two weeks. In all cases, at least one court intrigue check 29
