Paladin

Paladins are warriors of a deity and walk that fine line between fighter and cleric. They are equipped with many useful skills that allow them to fight directly with their enemies while also having access to a plethora of prayers to keep them and others safe. Additionally paladins can choose a specific path to follow which allows them to excel in their chosen aspect.

COMBAT Paladins find righteousness to be achieved through the most direct approach. Those that specialize in combat learn how to add a fourth attack to their routine, improve their fighting while blind, and utilize their armor for a devastating shoulder smash.

PIOUS Paladins who are exceptionally spiritual may gain some unique talents. Those that specialize as Pious will be able to summon, become Psalm Masters, and their piety allows them an extra active psalm.

2H Weapons Some Paladins have a unique affinity with two-handed weapons and can choose to specialize with them. In doing so, they gain complete control of their two-handed weapon, including Batter, 2H mastery, and Doublegrip. They can also directionally impale their foes.
