The Black Knight
Overview Character strategy page originally posted on MagicRealm.netBlack Knight is a dangerous warrior. His reputation and all-around combat skills make him deadly to any and all. Well played and with a bit of good luck, Black Knight can easily become the scourge of the Realm.
Black Knight works best alone, or at least without other characters. He can deal with all but the largest monsters, as well as larger groups. His best option though is to hire a friendly native group (the Company or the Soldiers) and go to war. The campaign chits are good options in longer games.
Black Knight can be good in a team, though he is generally better leading than following. He has little need for other characters, though they may be of help to him early to gain needed war funds. Best choices are spellcasters, especially Witch and Sorceror, who can broaden the variety of hired minions.
Black Knight is quick, but keep his mace alerted as much as possible, otherwise he will fatigue. Since he lacks the extra Rest phases of the Heavy warriors, he can be easy prey to an ambush from an opportunistic character.
Black Knight's Heavy armor limits the Move chits he can play. Avoid fatigue, and stay near full strength. His zero-effort chits are very slow.
You need to get some money as fast as possible in order to hire anyone. Consider selling some of your starting equipment for this purpose. You will also need to find the location of the Company and make your way there. Gaining a missile weapon can make you the single most powerful fighter in the game. If you have the means, destroying White Knight will get you the only other suit of armor in the game. Comments...add your comment here... |
