Fangshields The Fangshields are a group of talking animals and good - aligned monsters who operate all over the wild areas of Faerûn . They seek out and stop evil monsters and organizations from carrying out their plans . Until very recently the group was not organized at all , simply a few monsters doing good deeds whenever they could but recently there has been an increase in the number of worshipers of Lurue and Nobanion , whom most of the group ' s members consider their patron deities . Also the number of evil monsters have gone up as well . In response , the Fangshields have banded together to concentrate their efforts , using humanoid messengers to impart their plans to cells that they , themselves couldn ' t reach as monsters tend to attract too much attention on human - built roads . Structure . Most members still operate on their own but in the face of greater threats they sometimes band together in small groups . They go about business in much the same way as the Harpers do , though they are more quick to retreat as increased interest from other parties could lead to an unacceptable loss in membership . they have a few semi - permanent bases , indicated by easily - recognizable natural landmarks as well as much smaller temporary ones . They use these bases to cast votes on their next course of action in the region . Ignorant do - gooders have often mistaken members of the group as evil monsters and have tried to slay them so a low profile for the group is essential if an unwanted loss of life is to be avoided . The group is only made up of a mere 300 members and perhaps 300 more non - members know that the group even exists . No more than 40 members have ever congregated in the same place at the same time . This generates the desired low profile that the organization needs in order to avoid unnecessary casualties . New creatures can only join if they have the approval of three senior members after swearing an oath of allegiance . Subsects . Membership is supposed to be completely communal , with no individual being more powerful than any other . The multitude of racial differences tend to make this a moot point however , as members of the same race tend to make decisions as a group and those of weaker races usually defer to the more powerful ones , creating subsects in the organization comprised wholly of a single racial type .
Beloved of Lurue The beloved of Lurue are forest - living maidens who forever forswear mortal love to follow the unicorn deity Lurue , forming a close bond with unicorn s . Background . The beloved of Lurue come from all walks of life , but share two major characteristics : all are champions of good , and all are mortal women who have forsworn mortal men . Most often they were exalted ranger s or druid s , given those classes ' inborn affinity to nature , but paladin s and even fighter s have also been known to take this class . Though there are no racial restrictions , most beloved of Lurue are human s , elves , and half - elves . Beloved of Lurue are solitary and shun civilization . They create for themselves a forest refuge and maintain few contacts with the outside world , much like druids . Woe betide the evildoer who comes too close to this refuge , for the beloved is a combatant on par with the paladin , and has a smattering of other abilities including the ability to call upon animal allies , particularly a unicorn . The bond between unicorn and beloved is stronger than even that between a paladin and his mount , and is closer than the bond between the beloved and her own family . Just as she relies on the unicorn , the unicorn relies on her to protect its own mysteries . Chastity and Faith . The beloved ' s chastity and goodness are intertwined with her very being . Should a beloved of Lurue ever willingly sleep with a mortal , the unicorn will leave her without regret . ( It should be noted that the " Book of Exalted Deeds " does not mention the consequences of sex with an immortal or deity , nor does it require the character to be a virgin when taking this class . ) Because of the solitary life of the beloved of Lurue , it is rare for them to join ranks with others . They are at their most comfortable around paladins , but will associate with any good characters in time of trouble . They barely tolerate neutral characters and will " never " knowingly associate with evildoers . If needed , a beloved of Lurue and her unicorn will leave their forest sanctuary to fight evil . Origin Note . This class originally appeared in the " Book of Exalted Deeds " as " Beloved of Valarian " .
