Order of the Hallowed Blade

A cavalier who belongs to the order of the hallowed blade has dedicated himself to both a sovereign (be it a king, queen, or warlord), and to the faith of one of the deities of good. Cavaliers of this order seek to protect the innocent, live a life of devotion and honor, and ensure the freedoms of all who live within the borders or their realm. This order complements the Radiant Knight multiclass archetype.

Edicts: The cavalier must be of either lawful good or lawful neutral alignment, adhere to the strictures of the faith, punish the wicked, be just and honorable at all times, provide comfort and aid to those in need, protect the weak, defend the freedoms of all within their domain no matter their station, and shield them from the tyranny of those that seek to exploit them.

Challenge: Whenever an order of the hallowed blade cavalier issues a challenge, he receives a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls made against the target of his challenge if the target makes an attack against a target other than the cavalier. This bonus lasts for 1 minute. The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses. Furthermore, if the target of the cavalier’s challenge is of evil alignment, the morale bonus on damage rolls increases to +2.
