Holy Knight

Holy Knights are those who wish to serve the gods but are not the cut of cloth to be a cleric, or a chosen to be a paladin, instead they pick up there sword and hone there divine connection to the blade, using it as a focus they have mastered an ancient art of fighting known as the Divine Sword Arts. With this they gain divine energy that is converted into there attacks, with a swipe of there blade they summon different attacks to hit targets near them causing different status affects based on the tech used, they can paralyze, dispel, blind and silence there enemies, and if they attune themselves long enough to there blade, they can strike a hit that never misses or master the art of the Blade of judgment, a devastating attack that can cause massive injury or death. These warriors are wanted by many as royal guards, Temple guards, and some times in and amongst Mercenary groups or city guards, as its hard to tell them apart from any other fighter until the battle really gets going.

Divine Sword Arts

The Divine Sword Arts, the secret tradition of Holy Knights, letting them reach out and hit enemies at range with special attacks, that help drive home there goal, mastering the Divine sword arts one learns to use Divine Points which are gained once per level. Upon finishing there training the First Sword art learned is Stasis Blade, summoning there power they call upon a spectral crystal shard that juts up and envelopes there target before shattering doing 1d8 force damage, and on a failed save paralyzing the target for a round. The damage can be increased by pumping more Divine points into it.

The damage of this sword art can be increased by 1d6 for every divine point pumped into the attack after that.

Master Divine Sword Arts

Having mastered so much of the Divine arts, the Holy Knight finally can access the stronger power of Cleansing blade. This Unique sword art that uses 2 divine points and summons a giant crescent blade to spring from the ground to stab at and shatter against the target with 2d6 Psychic damage.
