Wrathful Crusader

A wrathful crusader's quest for justice is never over.
You became a paladin not only to protect the innocent, but also to punish the corrupt and unjust. You thought the others would be like you, but it became apparent that they all shared one crippling flaw: they were too willing to grant mercy to the minions of evil. They believe that none are beyond saving, but you know better; you've seen all too often how the redeemed slip back into their vile ways. Perhaps someone you know fell victim to a creature that had supposedly repented of their sins, or maybe you were simply born with an innate hatred of evil. Whatever the case, you've set out on a crusade with one goal: to make sure that evil "repents" once and for all.
Wrathful Crusader Path Features[edit]
- Swift Retribution (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can use your divine challenge as an immediate reaction, even if you have already used it this turn.
- Divine Justice (11th level): You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against creatures marked by you.
- Fanaticism (16th level): Whenever you deal radiant damage to a target marked by you, that creature gains vulnerability 5 against radiant damage until the end of your next turn.
