Got a question

If a Knight takes levels of the Purple Dragon Knight PrC how does the Knights Fighting Challenge work with the Purple Dragon Knights Oath of Wrath ability?

You can have both active at once, but as the bonuses from both abilities are morale bonuses, you'll only get the better in any single check.

For example, a Knight 6/Purple Dragon Knight 4 that chooses the same enemy for both abilities would have a +2 morale bonus on melee attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws and skill checks made against his foe (the Oath of Wrath bonus), and he'll have a +1 for ranged attack rolls (the Knight's Fighting challenge bonus, which applies to all attack rolls).

If the same character advances to Knight 13/Purple Dragon Knight 4 and again uses both abilities, then he'll have a +3 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls and Will saves, but only +2 morale bonus on Fort and Ref saves and skill checks made against his foe.
