[edit] Campaign Information

[edit] Playing a Demonic Knight

Demonic Knights tend to be seen at the front line taking the enemy on or using the powerful spell-like abilities from a distance and tearing the enemies apart, they can usually be found hunting down large prey and are not satisfied with anything their size category or smaller.

Combat: Either the front line tearing the enemy down and taking blows, or at a distance dealing some good damage

Advancement: None really, this class can hold its own, but may have problems dealing with undead do to negative energy damage abilites

Resources: This class can tank a few enemies at once and take them down, but it can also take down distant enemies causing the party certain problems, such as mages

[edit] Demonic Knights in the World

Demonic Knights can be found anywhere, but mostly in places where they can hunt down large enemies or fight in arenas

“	There is a large beasty around here somewhere, I'm determined to find it and put it down......alone.	”
—Draden Haertraider, Ikimarus Demonic Knight
