Virtues of Knighthood
Virtue of Chivalry
Max:

Description: You may call upon the Lady of the Lake and gain her blessings, as described in The Gifts of the
Lady on page @@. Only Bretonnian knights may take this talent, which is only useful to characters with
Fortune Points.

Before going into combat, the knight takes a few moments (at least 12 combat rounds) to pray to the Lady,
asking for a boon. He then spends a Fortune Point and chooses the blessing he wants. Sometimes, the lady
grants a different blessing if it would benefit the knight. Thus if the knight is facing-nonmagical opponents with
poisoned weapons, she might grant protection from poison even though the knight asked for protection from
magic.

Gifts of the Lady:

● Grail Draught: The knight gains +20% bonus to all tests to resist poison.
● Lady’s Mantle: The knight gains +1 Armour Point on all locations. This adds to the value of any
armour actually worn, to a maximum of 6 Aps per location.
● Might of Purity: On a successful hit, add the result of the units of die to the attack role to any
Damage caused.
● Stout Heart: The knight gains +20% bonus to all tests to resist fear, whether mundane or magical.
● Ward of Light: The knight seems slightly brighter than his surroundings and gains a +10% bonus to
all tests to resist harmful magic.

Virtue of Audacity
Agilgar of Parravon was a master of turning a foe’s strength back on him.

Description: If an opponent’s Strength Bonus is higher than yours, use its value in place of your own for the
purpose of dealing damage

Virtue of Confidence
Carleond of Couronne would challenge any foe to single combat, such was his confidence in his prowess.

Description: Whilst engaged in combat, you may take a Full Action to issue a Challenge to a single opponent.
Most targets of the Challenge are not obligated to accept the Challenge (though many do); Knights with the
Virtue of Chivalry Talent must accept. For the duration of the combat, you gain a +2 bonus on damage rolls in
melee combat. Whilst engaged in a Challenge, you may not Challenge a new opponent in that combat until the
first is defeated or has fled the battle.

Virtue of Discipline
BELONGS TO MR. WINKLE

Marcus of Bordeleaux took the field against any odds-, ever undaunted

Description: It is no easier to attack when you are outnumbered. With this Talent, you negate any bonuses to
your opponents’ Weapon Skill that are gained as a result of superior numbers. This Talent does not negate any
other circumstantial bonuses.

Virtue of Duty
Thierulf of Lyonesse was the most loyal of the Companions, always fighting at the side of his liege

Description: You may pledge your loyalty to up to three other characters. When you fight alongside those
characters, they each gain a +5% bonus to their Weapon Skill characters. If any of them are not present in a
battle, you take a -10% penalty to your Weapon Skill characteristic.

Virtue of Empathy
Martrud of Montford always championed the peasants and was loved by them in return.

Description: When you succeed a Fellowship Test when dealing with Bretonnian peasants, you succeed it by
number of levels equal to your Fellowship Bonus. Other knights do not think less of you for talking with your
social inferiors. (They may think less of you for choosing this path in the first place, however).

Virtue of the Ideal

Landuin of Mousillon was the peerless knight, pure in heart, skilled in arm, and wise in mind. Alas, Mousillon
has fallen far.

Description: You may make another attack in exchange for a Fortune Point.

Virtue of the Impetuous Knight

Balduin of Brionne was always in the forefront of battle, first to engage his enemies

Description: Charge attack grants you +2 Advantage tokens.

Virtue of the Joust

Folgar of Artois was unmatched in his skill with the lance.

Description: You gain a +10% to WS when using a lance.

Virtue of Knightly Temper

Beren of Gisoreux was ever swift to deal death to his foes, striking twice before they could respond.

Description: If you successfully wound an opponent at the end of a Charge Attack, you may immediately take
another free attack against the same opponent. This attack costs no action but is otherwise the same as a
Standard Attack. You are not required to make this attack (for example, if your opponent is already dead). The
+10% bonus to Weapon Skill bonus from the Charge does not apply to this additional attack.

Virtue of the Penitent

Corduin of L’Anguille ever mourned the loss of his believed to the curse of the hag, yet he fought bravely hen
summoned.

Description: You may not use magic items or ride steeds other than a horse. Any weapon you wield counts as
magical and the Critical Value of any Critical Hit made against you is reduced by one. A Critical Hit with a
value of 0 has no effect.

Virtue of Purity
Rademund of Quenelles was the most virtuous champion of the Lady, upholding her honour in every battle.

Description: You may invoke the Gifts of the Lady without taking time to pray. In addition, you gain one
bonus Fortune point every day.

Virtue of Stoicism
Lambard of Carcassonne stood firm in the face of fear, and his bravery steeled those around him.

Description: You may re-roll any failed Fear or Terror Test, or any failed Test to resist Intimidation. If the
re-roll succeeds, ignore the first failure. You may have a party member be granted a re-roll on this test as well
instead.

Virtue of the Quest

This Talent has a number of effects, but they only apply whilst the character is in the career of the Questing
Knight. If he completes the career and moves on or abandons it to take up a different career, the effects of the
Talent lapse. If the character completes the career and becomes a Grail Knight, the Talent is lost altogether,
though the experience points spent to buy it are not regained. If he simply abandoned the career, he retains the
Talent, and if he re-enters the Questing Knight career its effects apply once more.

Description: You take a -50% penalty to your Weapon Skill characteristic if you use a lance. Questing Knights
renounce the use of that weapon, and those with the Virtue of the Quest find it hard to break that pledge.

You receive visions that direct your quest. The visions lead you to the place where you should be, which
normally means that they lead you into danger.

At any time, you may call upon your strength of purpose to give you succour. As a half action, you may spend a
Fortune Point to heal 1d10 of your wounds. This cannot be taken above your normal maximum.

The Grail Virtues

Grail Virtue of Audacity
Description: Whenever you are engaged in melee with one or more opponents, you increase your Toughness
Bonus Characteristic by +4. The bonus applies to melee attacks made by opponents engaged with you. This
bonus lasts until you successfully test Weapon Skill and inflict at least 1 Wound against adjacent foe or if, at any
BELONGS TO MR. WINKLE

time, you choose not to make a melee attack while so engaged. After the bonus is expended, you cannot use the
Grail Virtue of Audacity for the duration of the encounter.

Grail Virtue of Confidence

Description: Whilst you are involved in a Challenge, all other opponents must succeed a Impossible
(-40%) Weapon Skill Tests to hit you. You take this penalty to any attacks you make against opponents other
than the one you challenged, so long as the opponent still stands. Also, you gain a +10% bonus to your
Toughness characteristic against any attack that hits you.

Grail Virtue of Discipline

Description: When outnumbered at least 2 to 1, you may make another attack in addition to your standard
attack.

Grail Virtue of Duty

Description: If you fight with those to whom you are pledged, they gain a free attack at the cost of an
Advantage Token and +10% bonus to their Strength characteristics during the Battle. If any of those to whom
you are pledged are absent, you take a -10% penalty to your Strength and Toughness characteristics.

Grail Virtue of Empathy

Description: When you lead Bretonnian peasants, you make any Fear or Terror tests first. If you succeed, the
peasants do not need to check. If you fail, the peasants must make their own tests, as normal. In addition, you
may spend two Fortune Points when seeking the Gifts from the Lady to extend the Gift to the peasants under
your command. You may command a number of peasants equal to your Will Power characteristic.

Grail Virtue of Heroism

Description: If you inflict damage on an opponent, you do an additional number of Wounds equal to the
opponent’s Armour Points on that location. That is, if the opponent’s Toughness Bonus and Armour are
enough to reduce the damage you do to zero, you do no damage, but if you do any damage at all, armor has no
effect.

Grail Virtue of the Ideal

Description: You gain a permanent +5% bonus to Weapon Skill and Strength Characteristics. Update your
starting profile to reflect these changes.

Grail Virtue of the Impetuous Knight

Description: You may take two Charge Actions in a single round. This over-rides the normal limit on only
being able to take a single attack action in one round. The normal limits on Charge Attacks still apply.

Grail Virtue of the Joust

BELONGS TO MR. WINKLE

Description: In your hands, all lances count as magic weapons and do an additional +2 Damage. They also
lose the Tiring quality. If you wield a magical lance, its damage is increased by +1, and it loses the Tiring quality
if it has it.

Grail Virtue of Knightly Temper

Description: When you make a Charge Attack, you deal SBx2 damage. All attacks made in the Charge Attack
benefit from the +10% bonus to Weapon Skill. The Virtue of Knightly Temper applies to all these attacks.

Grail Virtue of Noble Disdain

Description: Any roll on the Critical Table will have +25 added to the result against opponents who have used
missile weapons against you or your allies.

Grail Virtue of the Penitent

Description: You may reverse the Critical Hit roll made against you. Thus, if your opponent rolls a 82, you
may reverse it to a 28 for a less severe result on the Critical Menu.

Grail Virtue of Purity

Description: You do not need to spend Fortune Points to invoke the Gifts of the Lady and may do so
automatically before every combat.

Grail Virtue of Stoicism

Description: You are immune to Fear and Terror and cannot be Intimidated. You gain a +20% bonus to all
Tests made to resist magic that affects your mind.
