Paladin Subclass

Paladins who take the Templar's oath are taught how to combat spellcasters, using both their blades and the powers granted to them by their oath. Templars are often assigned to hunt down necromancers or protect people or places from powerful arcanists. Oromne, Maldos, Andralte and Laia are deities that often bolsters paladins to hunt down the forbidden practitioners to restore order or balance.

Tenets of the Templar

The tenets of the Oath of the Templar deal with governing the use of magic. Most templars are lawful.

1. Power with Responsibility: Magic grants some individuals great power. It is my duty to make sure that they wield that power responsibly.
2. Obey Rules of Magic: I will ensure that the use of magic is limited not only by imagination but also by morality.
3. Extinguish Forbidden Magic. I shall arrest and bring to justice anyone who practices Necromancy or Blood Magic without approval.
