Faerie Knights and Fae weaknesses?
« on: April 30, 2011, 06:15:00 PM »
I'm working my way though the novels (up to White Night) so this may be covered (or may have been, but I missed it).  Are the Knights bound by the "must speak the truth/promises made three times" rules for the Fae?  I don't think they are, but it may become important for one of our PCs in fairly short order and I want to make sure I'm on the right page.

Thanks

I don't think so... As far as I can tell the knights are supposed to be mortal so they can do all of the mortal things that the fae can't. Like lie and effect mortals without their permission.

They are free to act as mortals are, even when using the power of the courts. That is the whole point of the queens having a mortal knight in the first place. He is even free to act against the will of the queen, as witnessed in Summer Knight. He does so, however, at his own peril.
