Who you can become
Roles on the Kingdom Come RP server
Peasant, knight, bandit, priest or craftsman — each has its own path, its own worries and its own first evening in the land.
The Kingdom Come RP server has no classes and no levelling for numbers. You choose who to live as in Bohemia, 1403, and from then on your actions and the people around you decide everything. Everyone starts as a lord’s serf — and chooses for themselves where to go.
Land and ploughland
Peasant
A peasant can be free or serf. A free peasant looks for work and sells the harvest alone. A serf is bound to the lord: works his land, and in return receives a holding and the manor’s protection.
The land feeds the whole region: without grain there is no bread in town and no fodder for knights’ horses.
Your first eveningFree — you hire out for harvest to a neighbour and haggle over the price at the market yourself. Serf — you go out into the lord’s field and carry the share of the harvest to the manor.
How to start
- Take up work: farmer, woodcutter, porter or carter.
- Decide who you will be: a free peasant or a lord’s serf.
- Sell your harvest at the market and save up for your own house.
Sword and oath
Knight
A knight serves the lord, wears armour and leads the men-at-arms into battle. Armour takes years to earn, and honour is lost in a day.
A knight is the lord’s mainstay: his sword decides the outcome of battles for territories and the fate of carts.
Your first eveningYou swear an oath to the lord, escort a cart and ride into a tournament.
How to start
- Find a lord and swear him your oath.
- Guard the carts and the roads against gangs.
- Gather men-at-arms for battles for territories.
Forest and highway
Bandit
A bandit lives by ambushes on the roads and keeps the shops under protection. Every penny comes with the risk of meeting the guard or another gang.
A bandit lives outside the law: every crime is recorded against the character, and the guard searches for them by description.
Your first eveningYou look for a gang in the forest, lie in ambush by the highway and collect tribute from the shops.
How to start
- Find one of the three gangs of the land, or gather people yourself.
- Set ambushes on carts outside the safe zones.
- Keep the shops under your protection — and beware of the court and the block.
Faith and word
Priest
A priest marries, buries and absolves. In town, a priest’s word weighs no less than the lord’s decree.
The clergy is a separate social ladder. A priest’s word reconciles neighbours and carries weight in disputes.
Your first eveningYou hold mass, hear confessions and settle a quarrel between two neighbours.
How to start
- Hold mass and hear confessions.
- Settle disputes between the land’s residents.
- Climb the steps of the clerical estate.
Workshop and guild
Craftsman
A smith, tailor, herbalist and other crafts — each has its own path from apprentice to master. Good goods are needed by everyone: by knights and by bandits alike.
Good goods are needed by everyone — by knights and bandits — so a master will never be without orders.
Your first eveningYou choose a craft, go to a master as an apprentice, finish your first order and save for your own mark.
How to start
- Choose a craft: smith, tailor, herbalist and others.
- Go to a master as an apprentice and finish your first order.
- Buy a workshop or a shop and put your own mark on your work.
Estates: where to rise
Your rank in an estate decides what is allowed to you and how people speak to you. You can rise to townsfolk, clergy, craft or chivalry — by service, craft or the lord’s favour. To learn more about how the land works, see the main page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change my role?
Yes. A role is how you live in the land, not a character class. A peasant can become a craftsman, and a knight can take the crooked path.
Who does every player start as?
Everyone starts as a lord’s serf. After that you climb your own social ladder: townsfolk, clergy, craft or chivalry.
Do I need an application form for a role?
No. Entry is free of forms: you choose who to be and start playing. The level of acting is Medium RP.
Are there roles besides these five?
Yes. These are the main paths, but the land also has guards, merchants, judges and lords. A lot depends on the story you write.
