Sep 03, 2005 6:57:58 Here is what i found in my archives, do with it as you which.
I just copy/pasted the material, i'm not endorsing its views.
I think Xlorep had developed a pretty good noble scheme of his own, and Seker has done so as well, and it doesn't involve PrCs.
Maybe if someone changed the purposed of this 3 level PrC, and renamed it, maybe Household Protector?, it would be useful.

NOBLE
“The reason you have not been able to rise above your condition is that there is no ladder that reaches low enough to reach you.”
- Ona-To of the Satte, raamin noble, vizier caste

Nobleman and noblewoman are people who attain a high status in society recognized by their peers. Nobility is not an inherent quality but rather a social rank given through a general consensus.
Most nobility in the Seven Cities is composed of humans, although elves and dwarves are not uncommon. Nobility cannot be achieved: one is born into it or marries into it. In rare instances common man have been given titles of nobility by Sorcerer-Monarchs on a whim or for services rendered.
Nobility as no influence to speak of outside of client villages and cities, the seats of royal power, the only force that can enforce their status in the blasted world. Most nobles live in restricted zones apart from commoners, where they can mingle with people of their own status. Most regard non-nobility as little better than skum, or slave labor to be exploited.

Hit Die: d6

Requirements
To qualify to become a noble, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Skills: Knowledge (nobility and royalty) 5 ranks, Diplomacy 5 ranks.
Special: Noble families must recognize your blood tie or marriage to an existing noble family.

Class Skills:
The noble’s class skills (and key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Knowledge (all skills taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language and Spot (Wis).

Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class features

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: The noble is proficient in the use of all simple weapons and with light armor but not shields.

Bonus Class Skill: The noble as now access to learned teachers that can confer knowledge to him on the subjects of his choosing. The noble chooses any one skill to become a class skill.

High Station: Upon first gaining the status of noble or when first attaining majority, the noble gains an edge over commoners, depending from which city the nobles comes from:
Nibenay:
Raam:
Gulg:
Urik:
Balic:
Draj:
Tyr:

Bonus Feat: The noble gains the feat of his choosing among the following, at 2nd level: Negociator, Persuasive, or Skill Focus (of one of the noble’s class skill). The noble may instead choose a feat specific to his city among the following:
Nibenay: Artisan, Astrologer, Performance Artist
Raam: Artisan
Gulg: Nature’s Child
Urik: Artisan, Disciplined
Balic: Performance Artist
Draj: Astrologer, Mekillothead
Tyr: Freedom

Secular Immunity: By 3rd level, his status more firmly established, the noble may contest a templar’s use of Secular Authority and move to have the action reversed. For the purpose of defending himself or his household against a templar, the noble is considered to have Secular Authority, but makes his Diplomacy checks with a –4 penalty.

Sep 03, 2005 9:40:34 i have a core class that's a mix of the birthright.net 3e doc and the star wars noble. someone might like that path. basically take the birthright one and change the skills a little and swap out some of the bonus feats for some of the star wars class abilities (mostly the favor one)
