Warrior of Light

Though not chosen to embody the power of their god, these fighters have sworn vows to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to observe the virtues of the Church of the Light. In return for their pledge they are granted powers to assist them with their vows these warriors receive divine powers to bolster their fight against evil. They are fighters who are aware of the divine war for the souls of mortals and who have thrown their lot in with the powers of good.
    In keeping with the Church of the Light's philosophy that all are welcome to the light of goodness, Warriors of Light may be those whose past is not as pure as that of a paladin. These may be fighters who have caved to the temptation of evil in their lives once before. Now these warriors have returned to the fold of goodness, rededicating their lives and finding a place within the church. It is also true for the church that there is no such thing as too many warriors who fight for good in the world.
    Warriors of Light can be found as temple guardians, providing protection for caravans that carry goods for the church, as the second-hand of paladins, and as wandering wardens against evil.
