Mar 17, 2006 11:19:29 Does anyone have stats on the KotW / D prestige classes. I was under the impresion that there had been classes for these groups previously written up, but haven't been able to find any mention of them in Dragon or Dungeon magazines. I know there is a version in the LGG, but the stats arent available for the public (you have to join the organization in order to get the information). So any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are absolutely right, I meant in the LG (Living Greyhawk) RPGA not LGG (too many abbreviations)

Mar 17, 2006 21:23:09 It may just be a renaming of a PrC from one of the Complete books or their predecessors, or maybe even just a cert...I'd ask over at the LG Forums...

Mar 17, 2006 23:09:32 I don't have the stats... but they were updated to 3.0 in one of the Living Greyhawk Jounals (the one released in Dragon 273 I believe). Also, the Shedomar Metaregion has updated them to 3.5 but only gives the stats out to people who's characters are joining the Knighthood.

Uh.. no. First of all the LGJ didn't start to appear in Dragon before issue #290. Second, official stats for a 3.0 version of the KotW and/or KotD were never published in any LGJ that I know of.

On the other hand, there have been stats for the Knight of the Chase (Dragon #297), Knight of Holy Shielding (Dungeon #113), and Glaive of Azharadian (Dungeon #293).

And the KotW/KotD were given quite a lot of background info in the old 3.0 splatbook Sword and Fist (no stats though).

Well, it appears you are correct. THe LGJ first appeared in Dragon 290 (The articles about Death Knights I think). I believe I have the other articles you mentioned, and think that you are probably right about KotW/D not being statted out anywhere, which means I will have to do my own Prestige class for the organizations. Well I'm off to read every scrap of info I have on the group for the 4th time. Wish me luck...
