War Saint (Warpriest/Paladin)

Warpiests are often found in the heat of battle, striking down foe and infidel alike. However, some are not content with their calling and seek a higher investiture of divine power. War saints are imbued, in part, with the powers of the chosen warriors of light–the paladin. As such, they conduct themselves according to a strict code as they strive to live the life of a true saint. Not above destroying powerful enemies of their sect, the war saint attempts to temper his penchant toward righteous wrath with mercy and justice. (Original Concept by Elghinn Lightbringer)
