Integrity Knight (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Integrity Knight[edit]
 |
|
A lone man checks the skies while riding his white dragon. At one point, he sees a small village being burned by a group of goblins, and he must stop this. He lands there and activates its sword power, freezing any enemy he can see. Then he slides among them and destroy the ice sculptures as well the creatures inside them.
Meanwhile, a lot of miles at East, a woman is leading the defenses from the enemy army using the Divine Arts: she summons a lot of sphere of any color, throwing them at the enemy and making them blow up, while her sword transforms into a blade made of divine light that can slash any enemy.
Forgotten Memories and Sacred Object[edit]
The Integrity Knights got their strength by a ritual that sealed their memories, reforging their mind to make it stronger. After the ritual the new knight is extremely bond with its master, the creature which accomplished the ritual. The knight has now a new name, composed by its true name + Synthesis + its number in the list of knights, ordered by the date of the ritual. As a knight, it doesn't need the normal routine of a mortal and the only way he can die is in war. Anyway, there is a way to reverse the ritual: if the knight gets to remember something about its past, the powers will fade and it will feel the age, dying instantly if it is more than 140 years old.
The newborn knight is then provided of a Sacred Object, which usually is a weapon, created by transforming something in that weapon. This Sacred Object has some properties attributable to its original form. The knights then join their oath, following the same objective: protecting the Human Empire, name used for all the good creatures with a humanoid shape.
Creating a Integrity Knight[edit]
As result of the ritual, you don't remember who you were before becoming an Integrity Knight, but your memories could be found thanks to some special objects linked to your past. But why do you have those objects? Where did you find them? And now as a knight, what are your purposes? Do you want to find out what your past was like but losing your powers, or would you prefer dedicating your life protecting the Human Empire? Will you stand at your master's orders, or you might want to be a traitor, and keep your powers while knowing your past by defeating your own master?
