Triadic Knight

Triadic Knights are mighty warriors who dedicate themselves to the joint cause of Tyr, Torm and Ilmater, defending holy ground, destroying enemies of the church, and slaying mythical beasts. Paladins looking for more religion in their life, as well as priests in search of more martial prowess, may embark upon this path.

A Triadic Knight can represent these well-respected deities and often earns some signs of their favour, though they do not develop the ability to cast spells. Those upon this path choose a life of service and obedience to their temple, unlikely ever to rise to high positions.

Class Route to Prestige

This assumes the character has only a single class to meet the requirements and is non-human before taking the prestige class (PrC). Human characters will have greater flexibility in regards to feat progression due to the extra feat granted at character creation by their racial bonus, Quick to Master. Some class routes to prestige may also favour multi-classing in order to more effectively meet pre-requisites or to better synergise the character's skill set to suit the PrC, however caution is advised as most PrCs have strict skill requirements and the wrong combination of classes (due to cross-classing of skills) may result in further delaying and reducing the levels of a prestige class obtainable or render it entirely unobtainable for the character.

Base Class	Minimum Base Class Level	Maximum Prestige Class Level	Religion	Weapon Focus
Paladin	4th Level	4th Level	4th Level	1st or 3rd Level
Priest	6th Level	2nd Level	4th Level	3rd Level

Notes

All prestige classes require a PC to met the real (unmodified) rank of a skill, refer to Skills for clarification, in order to progress into the prestige class.
