Hellknight Order of the Scar

[ZenthaneX]

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone know what the Hellknights Order of the Scar armor looks like. I've tried digging around a little and I can't find anything on the subject. I've got a character that plans on joining that order and would love to know what I'm in for.

Thanks,

It's not official Paizo art, but I built an Order of the Scar NPC for Council of Thieves. The art I used is from Magic: the Gathering. Try looking up the card Capashen Knight from Magic 2014. (I would just find you a link, but it's hard on my phone.)

A warning: the Hellknight sub-orders are missing some things, like the ability they gain at 3rd level. If you're planning to take levels in the prestige class, make sure you've worked these bugs out with your GM.

Kalindlara,

That is a cool piece of art but I was hoping for something a little scarier. At 8th level this guy will have an Intimidate of like +25 or so.

As for the sub-order this character will be for PFS and I'll only be taking order abilities that any order has access to.

Thanks for the response!

Pages 267 and 279 of the Inner Sea World Guide (campaign setting hardcover) have pictures of Hellknights in their special armour. As far as I know, the armour designs are not specific to a particular order.

I actually believe that they are called out as each order having individualized order. The most commonly shown being Order of the Nail, I believe. Its in the subdescription for the prestige class, and honestly something I hope they expand on more.

I haven't seen any art specifically called out for the Order of the Scar, but I wonder if their favored weapon and home base in Taldan Cassomir might have some influence on their armor. Fewer spikes and snarling faces, perhaps.

That was the thought behind the art I referenced way back in post 2. It had a mix of "knight in shining armor" and "dread warrior" that I found perfect for the Order in general... plus a weapon that could be interpreted as a form of rapier.

EDIT: Found it! :D Formatting tags is really hard on mobile...

I don't see it under the prestige class entry in ISWG. As far as I can tell, the order choice only affects the disciplines.

The picture under the faction entry in ISWG is labelled as Order of the Nail ... but that Hellknight could just as easily belong to any other faction.

At the very least Inner Sea Combat has one suit of Signifier armor sculpted to look like an Ice Devil. So there is presumably variation. I do remember seeing at least one illustration that shows a Hellknight or of the Gate showing their specific armor which has swirling pattern similar to a whirlpools.

Why not have the armor decorated, to display the kind of fiends the knight has beaten?

Begin with the one they bested, to qualify for entry in the Order?
