I am planning on roleplaying Benedict as a Dark Knight and so I have done some light reading about the Dark Knight and I'm trying to get a feel for the nature of their power and abilities without revealing spoilers about the storyline. I figured I would ask the RPC to give me a synopsis without relying on story specifics. From what I gather they gain power from their emotions, but I am not sure this is exactly correct. How does this translate into magic? As it seems they do indeed wield their own form of magic. Clarification would be most appreciated. Also, if you have time please look over my wiki, as it is a work in progress, to get an idea of the character as he stands now.

Thank you for any feedback and assistance.

Unfortunately anything other than what you already know is found in the story, so per your request, we can't really tell you much more.

You are right about emotions being the key, but the degree of importance and the way in which a DRK wields them is a major part of the story. Anything else that can be said might not make sense without referencing the source.

You will have to play through it to learn more if we can't tell you. ;-)

That at least lets me know I'm on the right track. Thank you. I am greatly looking forward to playing through the storyline. I am currently working my way through the quest content to unlock heavensward. You take a year haitus and the whole world falls apart . . . Big Grin

Thanks for the reply.

The story does play its hand about halfway in to the full line of the class quests, so you won't have to wait too long for the answer. That said, the drawing of emotions as an aether source is pretty much how it works without ultimately divulging many details. Think of it like the Monk's Chakra gates or a Warrior's Inner Beast.

Thanks. I appreciate any info I can get. It is a little disappointing to hear that they don't get into more detail concerning the link between emotion and magic, but I like the reference to monks and chakra. Again, thank you.

I got to start the DRK quest line the other day and I have a question about the fueling if your powers.

I believe it's more of a case of your own emotions thriving on the emotions they feel.

Good, they feel that. Yes... good! Type of thing.

My personal opinion playing as a DRK OOCly as well as IC. I think it would be better if you stick with doing the DRK MQ, you're in for one hell of a trip and you're going to find the answers you want but you're on the right track with what you're saying ^^.

I definitely plan to continue the DRK MQ. I love learning the lore of a class. These questions are mostly so I can roleplay my character accurately. As I start him down the DRK path I don't want to break lore if I can help it. Smile

Dark Knight synopsis, please? NO SPOILERS
