#Charlemagne paladins

[themostancientdreams]

He's trying his best to take care of his feral children paladins.

Honestly charlie deserves more credit because if I had to take care of twelve, much less three of his paladins I would've thrown myself out a window.

5th PALADIN Astolfo was a prince of england. He is considered the absolute weakest, stupidest and hottest paladin. He is frequently under estimated but when it counts the madman pulls it off, and who knows he might even save the whole kingdom from total destruction once or twice.

i've seen posts before drawing parallels between FFXIV paladins and 5e oath of the ancients paladins since the name and principles of the subclass are fitting for the warrior of light

what i've never seen anyone point out before, however, is that this is not the only thing that makes it relevant, because it also has access to FFXIV's most impactful ability: the power to summon the Cutscene Chains

at long last...the power of the ancients, in your hands...

#paladin #ffxiv #pld #also the reason ffxiv paladin isn't like regular dnd paladins is because like...it's a different thing. #and the only real reason it's called that and not “knight” is probably because they didn't want to overlap knight and dark knight #reading people complain about the ffxiv paladin not being divine is one of my pet peeves lmao #there's nothing more inherently religious to the figure of charlemagne's paladins than there is to say arthur's knights imo #you only think they have to be divinely associated because you were bamboozled by dnd. and probably not even a good edition!

HRU Preview: Charlemagne

Not nearly as bad as I expected but still not exactly what I want. I like the parallel to Quirinus's on-crit-trait-effect thing, and it's especially nice that the 5 turn duration means unlike Quirinus there won't be any uptime issues. The star bomb is flat out unnecessary though and he would've been much better off with better NP gain up or....i can't believe I'm saying this, but yeah a small battery would've probably been better. A conditional one preferably, like based on how many X trait you have (paladins, knights, whatever). Also just like Quirinus, we really didn't need another "Crit focused Lancer/Saber with AOE Buster/Quick NP".

Either way, great for Charlie's gimmick, would be a lot better if his gimmick was something more unique rather than just a convuluted way of upping his NP Damage. At least with Quirinus you can use his Roma status with other Roman specific effects, this one is JUST for Charlie and his NP, so....yeah, let's give him wayyyyyyyyyy more! As well as take away one or two things, because Charlie's biggest issue is how redundant his kit is, whether in the sense of regarding himself or regarding how many servants already fill his niches.

Over the Royal Road C -> ‘C’

Apply Invincible to an ally (2 times, 3 turns). Increase own NP Gain if not Invincible (5 turns).^ [10-30%?] Apply buff to self if not Invincible (5 turns): Apply [Brave King] trait to self when attacked (5 turns). Inflict NP Seal on self if Invincible (1 turn) [Demerit]. Apply various effects based on Ascension. [For Ascension 1-2] - Apply [Fairy Tale] trait to self (5 turns). - Apply [Earth] attribute to self for ally support effects (3 turns). - Increase own Instant Death Resist by 100% (X times, 3 turns).[For Ascension 3] - Apply [Human] attribute to self for ally support effects only (5 turns). - Increase own Buff Removal Resist by 100% (X times, 5 turns). [X varies with skill level; 1 to start, 2 at 5, 3 at 7, 4 at skill level 9+]

Holy Knight Emperor EX -> ‘EX’

Increase ATK for all allies (3 turns). Apply Special ATK [Demonic] to self (3 turns). Increase own DEF against [Heaven] enemies (3 turns). Apply status to self (5 turns): If Critical Stars >35, apply Damage Cut to all allies based on the total number of stars. Choose an effect: - Apply Target Focus to all [Holy Warrior] allies (2 turns). - Increase NP Gauge for all [Paladin of Charlemagne] allies.^

(yes i replaced "Divine" with "Heaven". We have MORE than enough anti divine units already while i can count the number of anti-heaven units on one hand)

Mana Burst (Light) A -> A+

Increase own Critical Strength (3 turns).^ [20-65%] Increase own Quick Card effectiveness (3 turns).^ [20-40%] Further increase own Critical Strength against [Evil] alignment enemies (3 turns). Inflict Skill Seal on all [Evil or Insane] alignment enemies (1 turn). Chance to inflict NP Seal on all [Chaotic] enemies (1 turn). [40-80%] 85% Chance to inflict Confusion on all [Evil] alignment enemies (3 turns). [20-70%/turn] 500% Chance to inflict Myopia on all [Sight-Reliant] enemies (3 turns).

(Reminder: Myopia = all evade on units a Myopic unit attacks is treated as True Evade, meaning the Myopic unit cannot bypass it with Ignore Invincible)

Honestly this is only like 70% of what I have planned I'm still probably gonna give him at least 2 passives and definitely an NP rank up but since his official rank up for a skill dropped and people are asking, i'll go ahead and save that for the full write-up and post these now!

Astolfo: So that's all of us! Every member of the twelve paladins of Charlemagne.

Guda: ... There are fifteen of you.

Astolfo: Yeah but twelve sounds cooler so.

Charlemagne looks on as Orlando strips, Oliver flirts, Rinaldo getting lost, Astolfo Astolfoing, Turpin just vining, Ogier the Dane arm wrestling. He turns to Bradamante, “Thanks for being sane,” he says as she falls through a hole that wasn’t there a moment ago.

#charlemagne #Roland #Astolfo #bradamante #I love the disaster that are the paladins #I don’t know who all fate will count as paladins so I’m going with only the ones that are pretty universally agreed on

Am I F1 posting am I LOTR posting I can multitask. Look I’m barely into Two Towers but I’m on another themed field trip and we’re going to look at 11th century “oliphant” hunting horns now. Was Boromir’s horn material and design ever specified? I don’t recall! probably it was a large boar tusk! Maybe it was a really really big bull! This is all more likely than elephant ivory, tho as seen here elephant (and rhinoceros) ivory WAS absolutely in use, especially in early medieval Muslim Europe (Spain, Sicily, and parts of Southern Italy) and was definitely known much further north (too far north tho and you start getting walrus ivory instead). But you’ve gotta see some of the coolest early medieval hunting horns anyway.

From the museum placard:

“The term oliphant refers to an ivory horn such as the one used by the legendary hero Roland, one of Charlemagne’s paladins, to sound the call for battle. Many such horns have been preserved. Usually decorated with hunting and animal motifs, they were made in Islamic-Arab countries as well as Norman Sicily and in Lower Italy. Many of them served as containers for relics in the church treasuries of the West.”

These two are (and I’m just getting this info off more museum placards) from Italy (Salerno or Amalfi, maybe) and from Arab Sicily. The latter, with the very Muslim-style animals in a web of vines, is my absolute fav. Sicily was conquered by the Byzantines, Fatimids, and ex-Viking Normans in succession and the style got neat as hell. Did Tolkien care about this mate I have no idea, I just think it’s the coolest thing. Also these are huge.

*and of course, ivory today is real fucking sad and part of an ecological catastrophe. But it’s worth saying that the 11th century was Not the century that fucked that one up.

TIL that AD&D had sourcebooks for different historical communities (Celts, Vikings, probably someone else). I,don't were they good, but I think that more games shall have little historical textbooks of information specifically for your games. And not only historical, let's make a Traveller supplement that describes real-life fleet and suggests how would space fleet look like

Uh huh! As far as I know there was also a supplement about playing in the time of Charlemagne, the Charlemagne whose closest circle of knights were called Paladins, who went on to give their name to the almost entirely unrelated D&D class of the same name! Rolemaster Classic has a historical sourcebook for Rome!

But I think Ars Magicka is actually the gold standard of this: its sourcebooks are apparently very thoroughly researched, and even though they also feature fake stuff related to the game's unique vision of medieval Europe, based on what I've heard they mostly just act as pretty good historical sourcebooks?

So yeah, I do agree. As bad as some of those sourcebooks can be, we need more of them. Even the D&D 5e sourcebook set during the events described in the New Testament right before Jesus' crucifixion which also might count as heretical but I'm not Christian so don't quote me on that is good simply by virtue of the inherent silliness of putting Jesus in the dungeon game
