Disciple of the Radiant Star (Monk/Paladin)

In a small, isolated village on the top of a remote mountain, a single wiseman discovered a way to harness the power of the sun and the heavens through his breath. He refined this sacred technique, this glorious light, into a powerful tool of both healing and purifying. This was the beginning of the ripple. An esoteric and versatile power, the formal disciples of the ripple take it within them to use this holy light to protect the innocent and the natural, and banish the unholy and abominable from this world.
