Sir Bors is a Furyondian knight who's spent the last few years up on the border with the Empire of Iuz. He can ride and charge and all that good stuff, but he's perfectly happy fighting on foot and engaging in guerilla warfare if need be.
Rules-wise, he's a Cavalier 4, Bard 1, Battle Herald 1. The Battle Herald is a pretty cool prestige class that allows me to tank like a front line combatant coupled with leadership stuff similar to a 4e Warlord.
And because I'm a total geek for things like heraldry, I got to make up a coat of arms for him:
Or, a bend sable, overall three boars heads gules. |
(I also apologize for the terrible puns the above coat of arms. I "cant" help it.)
Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's worth noting that I became a heraldry geek approximately fifteen minutes after rolling up my first D&D character and deciding he needed a proper coat of arms for his shield. Come to think of it, that shield featured a boar as well.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a knack for it. One of my players would go wild designing the various heraldry symbols of the party, the kingdom etc. It adds alot to the Campaign.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair, I do have a good eye for heraldic design, balance, etc. But this site here did all the heavy lifting:

Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteLike.
ReplyDeleteI'll bring a sword-and-board fig and a mounted cavalier fig for you tomorrow. Probably the same ones we used for the guest paladin in my weekend game.
ReplyDelete@Greg: On foot, he actually uses a greatsword, only going to sword and board when he's mounted. Not that it matters much, I'm not very picky about minis, as long as I know which one is my guy.
ReplyDeleteNice to see people "in the wild" using our heraldry editor. :)
