Younger Knights


Recommended Posts

We need to knighten a couple of younger brothers when they are 19 and 20, instead of 21.

I've found in BoK&L p.68 that the minimum age requirement is 18....but what about mechanics?

I've seen Morien's suggestions on doing Step.3 the other way around....

....But, do we have any other official answer in the books?

I mean: if I well understood, Morien's suggestion is 2 options per year = -1 Attribute and -1 trait/passion?? Since subtracting 1d6 skill points seem odd.

OK?

You could use the Squire rules in Book of the Entourage. However...

Not quite. The standard character generation rules of KAP 5.2 give you 4 raises on step 3. in p. 38: 

"3. Heighten any four unique statistics chosen from among
the following: Attribute scores, Traits, Passions, or Skills.
Heightening a Skill (or Combat Skill) increases it by
up to 5 points, while heightening an Attribute, Trait,
or Passion increases it by 1 point. Thus, for example, a

character could increase (i) his SIZ, STR, and DEX by 1
point each and his Axe Skill by up to 5 points; or (ii) his
Energetic Trait and his Love (Family) Passion by 1 point
each and his Horsemanship and Hunting Skills by up to
5 each. Any combination of four increases is allowed,
within the restrictions given above."

So in other words, you just reduce the number of those raises by 1 per year that the character is younger than 21. So a 20-year old character would get THREE choices rather than four and a 19-year old character TWO choices. So you do this reduction already in the character generation phase. Sure, the characters end a bit more powerful (at 21) due to the experience checks gained in play than a character who starts at 21, but this is not a huge difference, generally. A year here or there won't make a big difference. And most importantly, this is an extremely easy thing to do in character generation; it is simple and it works.
