Role-playing as a Divine Crusader

To role-play as Pelinal Whitestrake, the original owner of the armor, players should consider the following:

• Be emotionless and heartless like Pelinal Whitestrake.
• Create an Imperial character to start on the Divine Crusader’s path.
• Upon acquiring the armor, Imperials receive a +5 bonus for leveling up Heavy Armor, One-handed weapons, and Blocking.
• Avoid committing crimes; any crime will prevent wearing the Divine Crusader armor.
• Continue supporting the empire as Pelinal did, even though he didn’t live to see its expansion.
