Help Making Lovecraft Inspired Cavalier Orders


Homebrew and House Rules

Sovereign Court

My current game is taking place in a fantasy world besieged by Lovecraftian horrors and I was trying to come up with some Cavalier orders dedicated to various Mythos deities (Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Hastur, etc.)

Any suggestions? I thought about basing them around the orders of the Tome...but that seems like it would work better for heroes than villains.

Dark Archive

Order of the Pentacle:
Edicts: A cavalier must fight for what he and his fellow Pentacle allies believe in. He will follow the will of no one but those above him.
Challenge: When a cavalier challenges someone, that target gets a -1 penalty to all mind affecting spells and spell like abilities. This penalty increases by 1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses.
Skills: An order of the pentacle cavalier adds Knowledge (Arcana) and Intimidate to his list of class skills. When attempting to demoralize his foe, he receives a bonus on the check equal to 1/2 his cavalier level (minimum +1).
Order Abilities: A cavalier belonging to the order of the shield gains the following abilities as he increases in level.

Terror (Ex)

At 2nd level, whenever the cavalier attempts to demoralize a target, he gains a +1 to that check and if successful, the target is frightened for 1/2 the duration of the staggered.

That's what I got so far.
