Black Knight

Rate this Entry
I decided to leave the X-Men alone tonight and hit up the Avengers. Looking through the roster I saw a neat looking picture of Black Knight. I've always had a sort of fondness for the character, but never really kept up with him, so I figured what the hey.

Long story short, the character is MUCH different than when I read the Avengers, but I still thought he was pretty neat, so I did my best.

Everything is OIHID as Marvel's website says that he touches his pendant and says "Avalon" and poof his gear and horse come to him. I assume this means that they aren't foci, and well always come back to him. I suppose I should have done his horse as a pet, and I might on my second pass, but I sort of like the way it is now. It reminds me of Dritzt and his pet panther. When the horse gets attacked and "killed" it goes back to the ether to wait for the call again. May not be how it works in the comics, but meh, it's my project I make the rules

Oh and the Disads are pretty much made up. I realized I didn't really know enough about the character to really give him his disads. Any suggestions, as always, are appreciated.

    Good way to handle the character.

    I have a similarly built character with the horse treated as a Summon; it costs him an action to get it there, and there's a time limit on how long it can stay in combat, but it felt about right conceptually, and was less mechanically clunky than other methods of getting the horse from the Celestial Realm to the rider and back.

    I didn't want to go with a Summon as I wanted the character to have more control over the animal. I would probably do it as a pet next pass.

    As I was making him, I was thinking that I really like how he was turning out. I want to find a campaign to use him in. I've added enough extra stuff that it would be pretty easy to get his stats up most people's campaign norms, just gotta find a game now :P
