Latest revision as of 13:41, 12 October 2024

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

Holy War:

• 1. Ask Kraegor, the trainer in the guild about knight of holy war.
• 2. You need to kill a certain amount of evils in a certain time. Monsie size does not matter. Only the amount of the monsies or amount of experience gained by killing evils which is something 100-400k total.
• 3. You will get a message when you have killed enough. Now you get Knight of Holy War -title and Holy War aura.
• 4. You can also now train Holy warfare skill at Kraegor.

Defender of faith:

• 1. Ask Kalas, the trainer in the guild about defender of faith. You need to be veteran+ for the quest and some holy warfare trained.
• 2. In this quest you need to kill three nasty human thiefs at Lucentium. You _will_ need a party or at least a healer for this quest if you are not epic nerd overlord master sergeant of nerdiness of batmud super players legion. Last monster must be killed alone but you can enter the room, hit the monsie and run to next room to your healer.
• 3. First one is 2k but hits like 100k, second one is 200k and has a nasty special. Third one blasts dispel good and is a 80k but hits like a 100k+.
• 4. After you have killed all three and gained the three pieces of shield, give them to Kalas.
• 5. Now you have Defender of Faith title and Protective Faith aura.
• 6. You can now also train righteousness at Kalas and get Congregration of virtuous at Jandor. Ask Jandor about training.

Skills and Spells

All templar skills work only against evil opponents.

• Stance of the righteous: Defensive skill that works in a party when fightin evil monsie. 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 and new reputation adjectives when you have enough reputation.
• 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.
