Paladin

The world knows paladins, usually, to be shining paragon of virtue who champion lofty ideals
such as compassion, nobility, sacrifice, and valor. They fight demons and hordes of undead,
following them into the bowels of the abyss to destroy them. They also carry with them the
strength and faith of the Zakarum, which has blazoned a path through the West and helped put
King Leoric on his throne. It’s those who’ve felt the gaze of the virtuous paladin weigh heavy on
their soul. Paladins, and their presumptuous notions of righteousness, have done much to further
their faith in the West, often times at the tip of a sword or the blow of an axe. These morally
conscious holy warriors not only drive the wicked to ground but anyone who has ever muttered
words against their tactics.

Yet in the ashes of these Paladins wake, rise that of true noble causes. When the paladins of
the Zakarum – formed in the time of Rakkis’s crusade and marched west against the Western
Kingdoms – help build the foundations of the kingdom of Westmarch, another cleric of the faith
had different plans. Akkhan led his secretive group of zealots East in order to find the sense of
corruption that seemed to plague their faith. These paladin counter-parts would still derive their
power from the Light, but put them to the pursuit of ferreting out the taint of evil.

The type of paladin you can create with this PDF is the Crusader.
Crusader
Divine Striker: As a holy warrior of the Zakarum faith, you strive to stamp out evil where it lies
and destroy the seat of corruption that remains at the heart of your order. You do this by focusing
the divine power of the Light though your power of Law and conviction.
Key Abilities: Strength, Wisdom
Resourceful and resilient, crusaders are an entirely different breed of holy warriors, trained to
wield sacred powers in a more focused and direct form from that of their paladin brethren.
Unbending champions of faith and law, crusaders’ formidable skills and abilities set them apart
on the battlefield, wading through scores of foes and leaving demonic bodies in their wake. These
soldiers of Light aren’t concerned overmuch for their own physical wellbeing, no they have the
Light to guide them and protect them in this matter. Nor are the overly concerned with those in
their company, for their belief is to strike hard and fast, stamping out evil before it has time to
regroup.
Experienced veterans, crusaders often spend their lives on the move, in the wilderness and city
alike, they take part in thousands of fights from epic battles to back alley brawls. The thick of
battle is unforgiving but crusaders rush in without hesitation, relying on holy magic and heavy
armor to guarantee victory. Well trained crusaders are adept at defecting attacks entirely, often
shrugging off massive blows that would fell lesser combatants. If pressed, they can sacrifice speed
and mobility for pure staying power.

Crusader Traits

HEROIC CRUSADER
In the heroic tier, you learn to combine your fighting skills and divine magic into a potent
combination. Your first efforts at using the essence of divine wrath and the Light to improve your
prowess are successful and hint at greater, and more heroic things to come. This time of your
crusade is where true heroes start and whether or not your faith is strong enough to carry you
further.

Avatar of Justice Doling out justice is second nature to you and in the world of Sanctuary,
it’s needed now more than ever. As wicked creatures attempt to take the world from humanity,
sowing destruction and chaos in their wake, your presence makes them falter. You do not falter
or hesitate in your crusade; you are the embodiment of righteousness.
Avatar of Retribution In the wide world where evil runs rampant, only swift retribution is
acknowledge and respected. Justice is ideal when there is time to seek it and to see it through to
its end. Yet, often enough, a crusader must be the one who metes out retribution where

maintaining the balance in another way.
Benefit: you gain a new paladin utility power of your level or lower.

Iron Skin Though your strength to the divine is growing, crusaders are very pragmatic and
will adopt spells of other devotions into their own arsenal to continue their quest. One such spell
is the ability to turn their skin into a suit of living iron, becoming more resistant to attacks.

Benefit: You gain a feature associated with your epic destiny.
CONVICTION OF JUSTICE
The world is full of inequality, bias, and corruption. Some might say this is the direct influence of
demons and the Prime Evils, however Crusaders know differently. They have seen how easily
humanity can exhibit terrible deeds without the infernal influence. They have seen the
depredations of mankind on the world and on their kind. The exploitation of this flaw is easily
aggravated by demons and the impact of the Prime Evils, but the flaw was there long before then.
This is where the crusader puts his conviction, in righting the wrongs of their kind – and
especially the evil deeds of their church – seeking to bring justice to those who’ve cause it.
This conviction is pure and good, which requires a level of selflessness on part of the Crusader.
He must not let his wrath and fury overcome his senses of bringing justice to those in need. Like
all things, it is a tool to be wielded expertly and with deft precision. To dole out too much against
slight grievances and he’s no better than the Church he’s deemed to redeem. Too little, and the
conviction is worthless. A fine line between the two must be met, and a Crusader must be wise in
seeking that equality.
Within a group, your ideals of seeking purity within the human race is noble – but almost
beyond reach. These lofty dreams often make you come off as a dreamer and not steeped in
reality, but once your methods are shown and as justice is meted out – it becomes clear to those
around you that such beliefs can become true. Despite your split from the main church, you hold
values similar to your other paladin brethren. You support local authority and acknowledge the
most effective leader of a group you’re in, even if that individual is not you. This respect,
however, must be earned and shown through exemplary actions – otherwise you expect that
person to stand aside and let someone else try.
Alignment: You must be lawful good or good to wield the powers that best serve justice. The
irrational behaviors of Chaos are unacceptable and evil falls too quickly to corruption and
tyrannical behaviors.

Level 1: Law Bringer

(Justice)
You wield the power of justice, punishing the corrupt and exacting a toll for their deeds. This
focus requires a stout heart and nerves of steel.
Benefit: You gain an additional healing surge. In addition, you can use your second wind as a
minor action to create an aura 2 around you that lasts until the end of your next turn. When any
ally within the aura takes damage, as an immediate reaction you can absorb half of that damage.
Level 1: Conviction At-Will Power
The conviction of a Crusader is nigh absolute – such is their strength and devotion to the purity
of Light. No one is above the law and the crusader has such powers to keep such foes from fleeing
their fate. Crusaders have the ability to attach runes to these powers, thus keeping them more
diverse when needed.
Benefit: You gain the hammer of justice power.

Level 7: Improved Shield Glare (Justice)

When you call down the Light to protect you from harm,
your radiance seems to sap the strength and vigor from
your enemies.
Benefit: When you use your shield glare, the triggering
enemy is also weakened until the end of your next turn. At
23rd level, the triggering enemy is weakened and
immobilized (save ends).

Level 11: Akarat’s Champion Action

(Justice)
Akarat’s champion paragon path feature
Your actions bring about a communal belief and vigor
among your allies, helping you coordinate attacks and how
to best your enemies.
Benefit: When you spend an action point to take an
extra action, allies that can see and hear you gain a +1 bonus to all their defenses until the start of
your next turn. If any of these allies are bloodied, the bonus increases to +2.
Level 11: Conviction Encounter Power (Justice)
Akarat’s champion paragon path feature
As a towering fortress of protection, the crusader relies on defensive measures to keep them
standing. A shield is usually one of the best ways to do that and those who invoke the conviction
of justice learn to wield this tool as a weapon.

Level 12 Conviction
Utility Power (Justice)
Akarat’s champion paragon path
feature
The weight of your conviction has
manifested substance, creating an
area where your enemies are
measured and judged accordingly.

conscious clear for the decisions you make and the justice you serve.

Level 22: Conviction Utility Power

(Justice)
The light is infused within you, and it yearns to reach out and help others in your time of need. It
encourages your allies to abide within its healing light.
CONVICTION OF
RETRIBUTION
Seeking vengeance is a common enough emotion
for those who’ve seen such grim horrors that
demons and the undead can produce. Even
common humanity, unaided by the Prime Evils,
can dish out wonton cruelty, destruction, and
vileness easily enough. It’s natural for those who
seek the Light to feel fury and revulsion at such
abominations and acts of atrocities. Even enough
anger to strike down such dealers of dread right
where they stand, no quarter given and no mercy
accepted.
This retaliation arises when it occludes thought,
when it rules action, and when it harms without
thought for the consequences. Such exploits are
what drive crusaders who feel the conviction of retribution flow through them. Try as they might,
holding back such divine fury is a feat unto themselves, and even then, there are times when they
slip. These holy warriors are far more like their older paladin brethren, dispensing the wrath of
the Zakarum against those who would do wickedness.
Crusaders of retribution go on dangerous quests that others of their faith and renown warriors
dare not. These vengeance-seeking holy men do not fear the darkness, for what they carry with
them into battle is just as deadly. The acts of destruction they bring upon their foes might be seen
horrible in its own right, and the further they are from civilization and those they want to protect,
the more these crusaders feel free to unleash the full might of the Heavens.
Alignment: You can embrace the conviction of retribution as long as you are not chaotic evil.
The power of destruction many of these Crusaders parcel out can lead one a dark road for which
they might seek redemption themselves. Most retribution invoking crusaders are Unaligned or
Good at-best.

Level 1: Law Bringer (Retribution)

You wield the power of retribution, and as such your fury increases with battle. To castigate your
enemies, you must delve further into your reserves of anger.
Benefit: While you have combat advantage against an enemy, you gain a +2 bonus to damage
rolls. The bonus increases to +4 while you are bloodied or adjacent to a bloodied ally.
Level 1: Conviction At-Will Power
The power of the Light fuels your strength, giving you the clarity to punish your adversaries.
Crusaders have the ability to attach runes to these powers, thus keeping them more diverse when
needed.
Benefit: You gain the punish power.

Level 7: Improved Shield

Glare (Retribution)
When you draw directly on the Light for
aid, your wrath lashes out at your enemies.
Benefit: When you use your shield glare,
the triggering enemy also gains vulnerable
5 radiant until the end of your next turn.
At 23rd level, the triggering enemy’s
vulnerability to radiant damage increases to
10 and each other adjacent enemy gains
vulnerable 5 radiant until the end of your
next turn.

Level 11: Akarat’s Champion Action (Retribution)

Akarat’s champion paragon path feature
The terrors you face inspire you to soldier on in spite of it all. Deep down you know your
conviction will hold true in the darkest depths of hell.

Akarat’s champion paragon path feature
Your conviction puts you on a lonely road, often pitting yourself against what seems like endless
hoards of enemies. Those who’ve pursued retribution found that they can pray to the Light and
are rewarded with allies to help shield them.
Level 20: Conviction Daily Power (Retribution)
Akarat’s champion paragon path feature
You channel the strength of your conviction, opening yourself up to the full might and power of
Heaven. The angels there see your purity and respond by gracing you with a taste of their
magnificence.

within them a near state of fanaticism to see the job done.
