With Corellon’s grace,I fear no foe who stands within reach of my sword.”— Alissera Berothar, champion of Corellon LarethianMany evil warriors believe that elves, while dangerous inranged combat, have no stomach for melee. They expect thatelves would fall like leaves in an autumn windstorm oncethe battle becomes the work of sword and axe rather thanarrow and spell. These warriors have never encountered achampion of Corellon Larethian.The champion of Corellon is a noble elf fighter, an elfknight or lord who can stand up to any orc or humanwarrior. All elves admire the grace, discipline, and skillnecessary to become a swordmaster, and the championof Corellon is the very paragon of elven swordsmanship.Clad in shining elven mail or plate, the champion relies onquickness, agility, and an almost scholarly study of the mostdifficult and advanced techniques of swordplay instead ofbrute power.As the name suggests, a champion of Corellon Larethianholds a special place in elf society. Large temples of CorellonLarethian often host groups of champions who serve as elitetemple guards, advisors and bodyguards to elf rulers, andquesting knights in the service of the whole elf race.BECOMING A CHAMPIONOF CORELLONIn order to become a champion of Corellon, an elf mustexcel in swordplay and exhibit patience, grace, and compassion.Even in the most desperate of times, elves do not judgea warrior merely by her martial skill. To take joy only infeats of arms is to live a crude and diminished life. Thereis more to life than fighting well, and the true championknows this.The quickest way to become a champion of CorellonLarethian is to advance as a fighter, due to the difficult featrequirements. However, a level of cleric, paladin, or rogue(preferably paladin, because it maximizes your base attackbonus) will be quite useful in meeting the skill requirements.The champion of Corellon class offers no spellcastingadvancement, so you will not receive much benefit forentering this prestige class after advancing primarily asa spellcaster.CHAPTER 5PRESTIGECLASSES113
