Noble (1.0) Adventurer Class

Nobles are more common in some cultures than others and are seen as unnecessary by many.

Playing the Noble

The Noble character is usually one that has grown up in privilege, or come to know it later in life but adapted well. If you would like to play a character that is involved in scheming and intrigue as well as recruiting others to the Dawn Lands LARP game then this is the character for you. It has some interesting weapon choices, including rapier, and abilities. The class can wear Level 1 (light) armor, but you can always hire a fighter to stand in front of you! It is one of the only classes that can't use basic weapons but this is because those weapons are seen as “beneath” the Noble. In the story if your character it is assumed that you have traveled much of the world since you have, or had, the funds to do so.

If the target player does not receive an antidote in an hour then they are reduced to 0 HP and cannot be revived until the next morning and must remain a ghost until then. In combat this ability gives you a +1 damage bonus with daggers.
