Chivalry

Chivalry is the paladin spell school, an expansion-era (Age of Shadows) skill powered by tithed gold instead of reagents. The prose is community-derived from ServUO and general UO mechanics (no uorenaissance.com entry) pending field verification; the stats table is source-verified against ServUO. Behavior is expansion-specific — see magic schools.

What it does

Chivalry grants holy-knight abilities: self-healing (Close Wounds), curing (Cleanse by Fire/Remove Curse), smiting undead and demons harder (Consecrate Weapon, Holy Light), combat blessings (Divine Fury, Enemy of One), and travel/utility (Sacred Journey, Noble Sacrifice). Effects scale with Chivalry skill and positive Karma, so paladins keep their Karma high.

How to use it

Tithe gold at a shrine to build a tithing pool, then cast Chivalry abilities from the Book of Chivalry, which draw on that pool (and mana) instead of reagents. See spellcasting and magic schools.

How to train it

• Low skill — cast the cheap, always-useful spells (Divine Fury, Consecrate Weapon) in combat against weak foes.
• Mid/high skill — cast steadily while fighting undead/demons where the school shines. Specifics are unverified; keep your tithing pool stocked.

See skill gain.

Related skills & synergies

• A weapon skill + Tactics + Anatomy — Chivalry buffs a melee core (the paladin dexxer).
• Bushido — the samurai-paladin hybrid stacks both schools.
• Necromancy — thematically opposed; Chivalry’s anti-undead/demon spells counter necro play.
