Tank · PLD
Sword, shield, and an oath. Holds the line and the monster's hate.
In a party
Hold the monster’s attention and take its blows so nobody else has to.
The Paladin stands at the front and keeps the monster looking at them. Provoke and Flash pull its attention; Sentinel, Rampart and Bulwark make the hits it lands smaller.
A few small heals let a Paladin mend a scrape without waiting on the healer, and the radiance weaponskills bite hardest into the unquiet dead.
Caerdun · guild of the Paladin
Caerdun was a garrison before it was a city. The shield line is what is left of the wall drill, kept up for three hundred years by people who were never relieved.
“Hold until relieved. That’s the whole oath. Nobody ever said by whom.”
Caerdun’s claim: Service. Built by the border garrison locked outside on the night, with three centuries of unpaid wages and the ledgers to prove it.

Gear
