Melana Lifepaths within the Order of the Lady of Paladins
From Burning Wiki
Lifepaths for the Holy, Knightly Order of the Lady of Paladins
This is a holy fighting order within the Laráni Church for the HârnWorld setting. The document that I’ll be working off of for these lifepaths is call Lady of Paladins and was written by Kerry Mould. Besides following the above link, the document can be found on Lýthia.com. This is a really great, fan generated site with tons of fanon (as opposed to Canon) for a Hârn Setting and/or the HârnMaster game system.
| Lifepath | Time | Res | Stat | Leads |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atalana/Ainlana (Noble Squire/Posulant) | 5 yr | 15 | +1M, +1P | Any except Peasant |
| Skills: 14 pts: Brawling, Dagger/Knife, Cudgel, Shield Training†, War Sword, Mounted Combat†, Pole-arm, Armour Training†, Larani Doctrine, Lady of Paladins-wise, History of the Order | ||||
| Traits: 1 pts: Disciplined, Extremely Respectful of One's Superiors | ||||
| Requirements/Prerequiste: Page (must be Born Noble) | ||||
| Notes: An Atalana is expected to always wear the uniform of the Order, which is given to him. His is not stripped of his original possessions, but items such as clothing and his clan coat of arms he is only allowed to wear with the permission of his Reblena, which is usually when returning home for a clan function. The Atalana's training arms and armour, gear, and horse are completely provided for by the order. Resource Points at this stage should be spent on Affiliations and possibly Reputations, but probably not within the order.
For the final year of this stage, the knights of the Order, or Melana, decide whether the Atalana are suited to life in the Order. Skill in each proficiency listed above must be know, as well as shield training. Typically about a third are sent home with the Order's best wishes in their secular life. Those who are chosen to stay are called Ainlana and attempt a year-long initiation process (a quarter to a half of the postulants don't make it). If creating a character who does not make it to the fianl year, the character looses the trait point for this life path, and only receives 10 resource and skill points. | ||||
