Imperial Dervish (Custom Class)
Attached is the write-up for the dervish class; this includes requirements, perks, and restrictions. There may be a bit of meta knowledge gained through reading this file, but the party is familiar with most of these facts via first-hand experience.
Please note: any PCs wishing to dual class as dervishes must find a suitable trainer (i.e., a higher-ranking dervish) and complete one week of free training. This will make them a first level dervish.
Interesting!
“Must obey orders of all higher ranking Dervishes….” Chuq wants to join this group?
Thanks, John Carlson, good read. Too bad Chuq isn’t intelligent enough to make a switch. Was planning too but he’ll have to wait 19 years until he is middle aged.
Do you have level titles for the Dervish? As characters it’d be helpful to know what we’re up against time to time.
Rahm Benisaeko You could always go fight a ghost in Grell’s mansion and get aged, or go to Xen Khel and used the time trap….
Problem with the aging route is the loss of strength that goes with middle aged. That would invalidate the switch unfortunately. Also, must obey doesn’t explain the penalty for defying any orders so figured there was wiggle room for interpretation.
Going to keep the switch on the shelf, would love access to fighter to hit tables and AC bonus for high dexterity.
Hey John Carlson, does fighter proficiency also mean weapon specialization?
Ronan could become a Dervish next level!
oh i guess he cant since hes a half elf
Rahm Benisaeko: I think there’s enough free information already in this document, so level titles will have to be discovered the hard way. Also, I make no guarantees that higher level abilities (i.e., anything above Chuq’s current monk level) are reflected in this document. There’s enough here to make a decision, but I want to keep some surprises in case you end up fighting Redacted.
Regarding weapon specialization, dervishes have access to the bonuses with preferred weapons for fighters indicated in the house rules document.
Oh no! Not the dreaded Redacted! 😉
Decision, John Carlson? Can Chuq grandfather in despite lacking the the INT requirement?
