⚔️ BLADE OF RADIANCE ⚔️

A Divine Warrior Rogue Subclass

WIELD DIVINE POWER

The Blade of Radiance, also known as the Steel Saints, represents one of the most feared and revered orders of the Church. Members must dedicate themselves wholly to the faith, discarding all previous ties and pledging their lives to the cause. Their rigorous training forges them into unparalleled warriors capable of wielding massive weapons with ease and channeling divine light to vanquish the wicked.

Blades of Radiance are entrusted with diverse missions: some handle the Church's most brutal assignments with lethal precision, while others serve as steadfast protectors of the faithful. Despite their differences, all Steel Saints share one goal—to safeguard the Church and its members, no matter the cost.
