Champion
When the duke locked away his political opponents, when the baroness was found to bathe in the blood of innocents, when reckless magicians destroyed an entire town to settle their scores, or when the Om captured hundreds to appease the inscrutable mind they serve, you were the first to take a stand. Where others quailed before the enormity of the task, you shook off your misgivings and set out to make a change, protect the innocents, and defeat evil wherever you found it. Your principles prevent you from letting such crimes go unpunished. The stakes are too high for you to set aside this burden, and you will keep fighting, even if it means your life.
You are strong, tough, and dependable in a fight. In your mind, you are responsible for the people who quest with you. Others might lack your grit and durability, and so you work to protect them from harm. You become the iron core of your group, and you make sure nothing happens to your companions for as long as you can keep your feet under you.
Level 7 Champion
Attributes: Increase three attributes by 1 each.
Health: +18, Bonus Damage: +1d6
Dedicated Defender: At the start of your turn, you can target one ally within 5 yards. You defend the target for 1 minute or until you use this talent again. So long as the target is within 5 yards, you impose 1 bane on rolls to attack the target. In addition, whenever the target takes damage, you can use a reaction to move up to your Speed. At level 10, you can move up to twice your Speed. If you move to within reach of the target, you take up to half of the damage on its behalf, and you can attack that enemy if it is an eligible target for your attack.
Level 8 Champion
Health: +18, Bonus Damage: +1d6
Defensive Stance: If you are not confused, controlled, stunned, or unconscious at the start of your turn, you can enter a defensive stance.

While in this stance, increase your Defense by 3 and you ignore any effect that would push or pull you, knock you prone, or disarm you.

Vengeful Champion: When a creature you targeted with your Dedicated Defender talent is harmed, you make rolls to attack with 3 boons and your attacks deal an extra 3d6 damage until the end of your next turn.
