Everyone knows the Knights of Celestial Vestment: ruthless champions of St. Cuthbert, appointed by the high priest and taught how to pursue and demolish the church's enemies without hesitation or mercy. The gnomish inventor Namfoodle Oneshoe suspects the high priest is in reality a servant of Asmodeus, but none except an armored Knight would have the authority to question church servants and investigate the truth of the matter. Namfoodle believes he could customize any existing suit of autoplate to pass for that of a Knight, but first a suit must be obtained - or offered by a sympathetic pilot in the party... |

| β | '''Organizations:''' Organizations of autoplate pilots are rare; it's a very specialized skill spanning multiple disciplines, and tends not to manifest too often in a given generation. ''Lineages'' of pilots, on the other hand, are quite common; many pilots begin their path upon discovery of the notes or tales of pilots past, or even examination of a heirloom suit of plate. Autoplate requires extraordinary levels of maintenance, so such discarded suits are rarely more valuable then ''+1 autoplate'', but their obvious complexity drives many to understand and replicate. When organizations do occur, they are often among gnomish or human university-like communities of arcane craftsman, taking the form of special task forces or tradition-based community guardians. On occasion, these organizations instead appear as gangs or warbands with a truly frightening potential for destruction and tyranny. |

'''NPC Reactions:''' Autoplate pilots are neither rare nor common, occupying a semi-legendary position as mad inventors playing with cursed and demon-bound armor or undying warriors who trade their souls for construct powers. Assuming they do not display overtly supernatural abilities, they're unlikely to cause a fuss; upon doing so, they tend to be relegated to the category of wizards and warlocks, with all the attendant suspicion and fearful respect. Actual wizards or rogues with an interest in magical items are likely to sit up and take notice, and may react with varying degrees of curiousity, jealousy, greed, camaraderie, or even malice. |
