Deed guards
Description
The spirit of a proud knight has decided to protect this place.
Deed guard (spirit templar) is an NPC that protects your settlement. Unlike tower guards, deed guards do not respond to calls for help.
Hiring
Settlements start with no deed guards. If you want to hire one or more, you have to pay a one-time fee of 2 silvers and an upkeep cost of 1 silver per month per guard. Note that the payment happens continuously in small increments, not one big payment once a month. If a deed guards is killed by a creature you it will re-spawn, you will not have to hire another.
Fight Skill
Heavy deed guards have over 60 fighting skill, which makes them stronger than tower guards.
Guards attack players from an enemy kingdom. By default, they will also attack aggressive monsters that enter the settlement area. You can turn that off from the deed setting "Mark this if you want guards to ignore aggressive creatures". They will however still attack any player with -30 or lower reputation. Negative reputation is automatically earned when stealing, or otherwise breaking the settlement rules.
Citizens with the manage roles permission can also set reputations manually.
- Tip: Set your own reputation to +100, so your own guards will not attack you even if you happen to go outlaw.
