Order of the Sacred Light

A cavalier who belongs to the order of the sacred light has dedicated himself to the faith of one of the deities of good. Cavaliers of this order seek to live a life of honor and valor, and ensure the freedoms of all who live within their purview. This order complements the Radiant Knight multiclass archetype.

Edicts: The cavalier must be of good alignment, adhere to the strictures of his faith, punish the wicked, be just and honorable at all times, provide comfort and aid to those in need, protect the weak, defend the freedoms of all within their domain no matter their station, and shield them from the tyranny of those that seek to exploit them.

Challenge: Whenever a cavalier issues a challenge, he receives a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls made against the target of his challenge if the target makes an attack against a target other than the cavalier. This bonus lasts for 1 minute. The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses. Furthermore, should the sacred light cavalier confirm a critical hit against the target of his challenge, the target must make a Will save against a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the cavalier’s level or is blinded for 1 round.

Skills: An order of the sacred light cavalier adds Knowledge (nobility) (Int) and Knowledge (religion) (Int) to his list of class skills. A cavalier can make Knowledge (religion) skill checks untrained. If he has ranks in the skill, he receives a bonus on the check equal to 1/2 his radiant knight level (minimum +1) when making attempts to identify a deity’s symbol, or religious sects, clergy, apparel, tenets, and mythologies.
