View source for The Templars of Faerwon

Templars of Faerwon are an organization of knights devoted to Good. They wander around the world in teams of two and slay evil where it spawns. Their order has a tradition, that no templar should ever fight alone. The templars guide each other in the path of Goodness and guard their brother in arms that he should not get lost. Often the younger templar acts as the squire of the older templar. Faerwon frowns upon selfish deeds.

==Strengths and Weaknesses==

Templars are a highbie guild. For them to work you need tarmas or monks, or both.
Due to the low hpmax of greligs, templars do need a con and/or hpmax boon if any eq is attempted.
A good templar can have 100/100 dodge/parry and 900-1000+hps, while providing rescue, leadership,
party heals and a life link. All in all, templars are more of a defensive guild which are good for exp and eq.
They can be used in offu parties too as a healer if they have a decent dam eqset.

==Quests==

Kill a certain amount of evils in a certain time. Gives Knight of Holy War title and Holy War aura. Ask Kraegor about knight of holy war
Ask Kalas about defender of faith. Need certain amount of rep to be able to try. Gives Defender of Faith title and Protective Faith aura.

==Skills and Spells==

All templar skills work only against evil opponents.

* [[Stance of the righteous]]: Defensive skill that works in a party. Once started, the templar will tick hp/sp/ep and gain +avoid at a growing rate each round in battle. Quite nice to have.
* [[Bless armament]]: This spell is cast on your weapon. Lasts for about 30minutes and enables the use of the Holy Strike skill.
* [[Holy strike]]: An offensive skill that does a bit more damage than a normal nomad off-skill? Works only on evils and does more damage the more evil the target is.
* [[Holy smite]]: Bonus damage with Holy Strike (like pulverize is bonus to pound)
* [[Prayer]]: 'Use prayer at list' to see available auras. 'Use prayer at auraname' to load aura. 'Use prayer' to pray to Faerwon, might reward you with hp/sp. Also gives +rep.
* [[Protection by sacrifice]]: When used by a templar it can only protect a good target (differs from nomads).
* [[Holy blaze]]: Area against evil (including party) that can supposedly stun. Seems useless!
* [[Laying on hands]]: Drains your sps slowly but targets in same room heal hp/ep at a growing rate. Can do on self, but probably considered selfish by Faerwon.
* [[Shield of faith]]: +resistances and +epr spell 
* [[Blessing of faerwon]]: Offensive buff spell vs. evils.
* [[Holy warfare]]: Templar mastery 1
* [[Righteousness]]: Templar mastery 2, decides ranks.
* [[Divine enhancement]]: Makes your shield protect better vs crits. Enables [[Holy blaze]].

Top 3 Templars get ranks Valiant, Just and Wise.

==Reputation==

Reputation is mainly gained by killing evil monsters. Templar skills might give some rep too.
Reputation saves a bit over reincs, how much depends on how happy Faerwon is with you when you reinc out.
'Prayer' will give you a hint of how happy he is.
