 OPTIONAL PLAYBOOKS
(EVERYONE AT THE TABLE MUST CONSENT BEFORE USING THESE PLAYBOOKS!)

DARK KNIGHT
The Dark Knight is an unholy champion of tyranny that is often in the service to a
malevolent deity.
You can begin the game as a Dark Knight, or become one by falling as a Paladin.
When a Paladin has filled in their last trauma box, they can fall and gain the option
of becoming a Dark Knight.
If you do so, exchange your Paladin special abilities for an equal number of Dark
Knight abilities and keep all of your action dots. Veteran advances from other
classes can be kept as is.

VAMPIRE
(COMING SOON!)
In the meantime, you can simply use the vampire playbook from the base game.
