The Warrior of Faith
Conviction, Faith, and the Power of the soul are the Warrior of Faiths chosen weapons. Their strength flows from their own soul, and only beings capable of harnessing the power of a soul (Gods, the 9 Lords of Hell, and the 7 Princes of Heaven) can grant such power. Few have the purity of Faith to walk the path of the Warrior of Faith, but those few are rewarded with the power to protect, to heal, and to smite.
Alignment: Warriors of Faith cannot be True Neutral. Warriors of Faith, like clerics, may only be one step removed on one axis from their God.
Religion: Warriors of Faith must worship a God, or receive their power from one of the very few other beings capable of granting such power.
Code of Conduct: The Warrior of Faith is bound by a specific Code of Conduct laid down by his God, Church, and/or Faith. If he ever willingly commits an act against this code he loses all class abilities. Part of this code always involves respecting the Authority of ones God and Church, but the code may otherwise differ between Gods, Churches, and specific Knightly Orders.
Background: Few ever choose to become a Warrior of Faith. Becoming such a Warrior is to answer a call, to accept a destiny. Such a calling is rare, and cannot be forced or faked. It can, however, be ignored. Some so called deny it and pursue a lesser life instead.

Class Skills: Concentration, Craft, Handle Animal, Heal, Knowledge: Nobility and Royalty, Knowledge: Religion, Profession, and Ride. Skill points at first and progressive levels as Paladin in the PHB.
