Zman Knight House

Regiment-House Marlaeth(zman)
-------------------------
To Spend:3

Imperial Knight House: Standing out from the Imperiums myriad of other houses of nobility
as the only holders of Knight Armour. Titanic suits of armour whose power is only dwarfed
by the Titans of the Collegia Titanica and whose chivalric legacies of glory and honour stretches
to long before the birth of the Imperium.

Cost: 3 points.

Characteristic Modifiers: +3 to any two of the following Characteristics—Ballistic Skill, Weapon Skill, Willpower.

Skills: All Imperial Knights start with Common Lore (Imperium), Tech-use, and Linguistics (High Gothic).

Fluency: While Imperial Knight characters have learned to speak Low Gothic, they have no reason to learn
 to read and write the language of the lowly masses. Because of this, Imperial Knight characters do not
start with the Linguistics (Low Gothic) Skill at creation, although they are still capable of engaging
in any verbal communication in Low Gothic that does not require a Skill Test. Duty and Honour: Imperial
Knights hold themselves to standards of behaviour and etiquette, their upbringing distinguishing them from the
low-born warriors that make up the common bulk of the Imperiums armies. Imperial Knight characters suffer a –10 penalty on all Charm,
Inquiry, and Deceive Tests made to interact with characters who are not nobility. However, they gain a +10 bonus on all those same
Skill Tests when dealing with the nobility and other high authority in formal situations.

Dutiful Attendants: Each Knight is served by a team of Sacristans sworn to his service, to maintain and
repair his Knight Armour, arm its weapons and see that its war spirits are primed for battle. Imperial Knight
characters have a +20 bonus to requisition rolls to acquire ammunition for their Knight armours and furthermore,
the Sacristans receive a +10 bonus to Tech-use rolls to repair and maintain the Knight Armour.
The Finest Tutors: Years of study under a wide range of military instructors, and traditional connections
to other military dynasties, have prepared each and every Knight Scion for a life at war. Imperial Knight
characters start with one of the following Talents: Air of Authority or Peer (Nobility).

Starting Wounds: Imperial Knight Characters generate their wounds normally.

Freeblade
Ambitious and glory seeking even for Imperial Knights,
Freeblades are exiled knights whose quests for glory make
them peerless warriors and legendary heroes.

Cost: 6 points
Characteristics: +3 Fellowship, -3 Perception
Starting Skills: Operate (Surface)
Starting Talents: Sprint
Standard Kit: 1 Questoris Knight Armour

Choleric
The regiment’s commander is decisive and leads from the front,
taking charge of situations personally, and never afraid to do
what he orders his men to do. However, he is quick to anger, and
can often be drawn into foolish actions. His men are ever ready
for action, and familiar with the rigours of battle.
Cost: 2 points
Starting Talents: Rapid Reaction

Die-Hards
The regiment is unyielding in the face of adversity, and will
not falter amidst the fury of battle, no matter the horrors
arrayed against them.
Cost: 3 points
Starting Aptitude: Toughness

Regimental Rivalry
Regiment Points: 2
Talents: Hatred (Choose one†) and Enemy (Choose one†)

†When selecting this Regimental Drawback, a single Imperial Guard
regiment must be chosen. The Hatred and Enemy choices must be the
same regiment, and cannot be another unit from the Player Character’s
own regiment.
