Divine In(ter)vention

Class Description

The Crusader is a heavily armored pilgrim on a journey of religious purification. In combat, he relies on his two-handed war hammer and the religious enlightenment of his allies. Calling upon divine powers, he cures the wounds of his comrades and blesses them to join his holy crusade.

Class Mechanic
Smashing his hammer into his enemies, the Crusader generates Divine Favor which he uses to heal and bless his allies. His deity rewards him for his efforts, often granting him and his brother in arms renewal to continue their holy crusade.

Each successful attack increases the Crusaders divine favor by 3. Additionally, there is a 25% chance to heal the Crusader for a small amount upon hitting an enemy. If applicable, the Crusaders Brother in Arms is healed for twice the amount. Divine favor does not degenerate over time.
