Champion ~ Divine Servant
Causes
You have one of the following causes. Some are limited to sanctification, as noted in parentheses. Your cause adds to your edicts and anathema and grants you a special reaction called your champion’s reaction, which appears after the divider, along with its upgrades if you continue in the Divine Servant Path.
Edicts and Anathema You gain any edicts or anathema listed.
Champion's Reaction You gain this reaction to enemy attacks.
Relentless Reaction If you gain the relentless reaction path evolution (typically at 9th level), you add this benefit to your reaction. Damage dealt by your relentless reaction gains any holy or unholy trait you have.
Exalted Reaction If you gain the exalted reaction path evolution (typically at 11th level), when you use your champion's reaction you also give a benefit for your allies or detriment for your enemies.
Desecration (Unholy)
You always take what pleases you, no matter who it hurts, and you spread a malign influence across all you touch.
Edicts subvert or corrupt everything in your path that is pure or holy, sow doubt among those holding ideals of purity or holiness
