Hell Knight and Pentamic Faith


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

I am working on building a Hell Knight Character, but I had a few questions about Pentamic Faith Dicipline and uses per day.

Lets say Level 3 Hell Knight with Pentamic Faith- Picks Travel domain.
It says to treat my Hell Knight Level as Cleric level for powers they get. It does not say about uses per day.

So that means I would get the Agile Feet power. Agile Feet power says I can do this can do this number of times per day = 3 + wisdom mod. But Hell knight power says Diciplines say he can only use a dicipline 1 once per day?

So does get get to do this 3+ wisdom or 1 per day

Now when it reachs hell Knight level 8 it has two uses of Diciplines per day. and would gain access to Dimensional Hop Travel domain power.

This says the power can be used to teleport 10ft per level a days as move action and must be used in 5ft increments. 80 total feat.

If these are limited to times per day as Diciplines Do i get two uses of each power or do I have two uses of Dicipline and have to pick which power I use.

the rules mention exception with Pentamic faith, but the they way it is worded sounds as if just can't get the Discipline if you are not of the order that has it. Not uses per day.


Welcome to the Hell Knight Commander prestige class.

You raise a few very good questions.

As written it seems that you can only use the disciplines X times per day. However for the Pentamic Faith Discipline, it makes very little sense since it does not specify for how long you have access to the domain. So by RAW there is no answer.

So the only ruling I can make is that it is always active (and I am sure there will be some that have different rulings) i.e. you effectively ignore the "discipline times per day" for Pentamic Faith and use the Domains times per day instead for the domain granted abilities. I don't think this is overpowered since only the Hell Knight Prestige class levels are used as the cleric levels so they are much weaker than a cleric with the same domains. Additionally only the order of the Godclaw has access to this discipline.


I am going to get with My DM on this, we are playing custom Camp. In a custom world. He has not established orders for his world, but he said I could be the PCR and has no problems with it, Maybe I will be the frist of this class and creator of an order in his world. In the long run I am sure other people would be wondering about this per RAW and for PS games. I know as a DM my self I wondering about this as I do use the pathfinder world and If I made some Hell Knight NPCs I would want them fuction correctly.


I seen a few more people posting about hell knights recently so I want to bump This thread and see if we can get some Clarification on my questions from some of the devs or if people can maybe mark it as a faq and get this answered.
