Characters: Champions of God
Today we continue our sneak peek into character types with the champion of God character template.
Champions of God
Champions of God are among the rarest of mortal humans, actively called to service by the Almighty (in one of many possible guises) to stand against the darkness and beat it back with the strength and light of their faith. They are very few in number, usually limited to one of the three Knights of the Cross.
In your campaign world there may be more than simply the Knights of the Cross who may rightly be called champions of God. Talk to the GM about any ideas you have along these lines.
HARRY: I wish. If only there were more Michael Carpenters in the world.
Musts: Champions of God must have a high concept aspect that is in line with their nature as a true holy warrior-such an aspect (e.g., KNIGHT OF THE CROSS) will be the source of many opportunities for invocation, but also carries the weight of the responsibilities and codes of behavior expected from such men and women of faith.
Champions of God must take a fairly high Conviction score (Good or higher recommended). In addition, Champions of God must take the following supernatural abilities:
- Bless This House
- Guide My Hand
- Holy Touch
- Righteousness
Options: Knights of the Cross carry one of the Swords of the Cross in addition to the above:
- Item of Power
- Sword of the Cross

With this I can totally bring my roving character, the badass kabbalist rabbi, to the Dresden world with impunity. This is me being happy.
@Daniel, somehow I knew you’d be all over this one.
An ass-kicking rabbi? That’s something I never thought I would hear. XD
I must say I really like this new blog and specially the updates we can regularely read.
I want this game soooo badly…
Selenio.
The first character for DFRPG I plan on making is a gypsy knight of the sword based on somewhat on the story of the fourth nail. It may end up with no refresh though.
Micheal is my favorite character from the DF. So this update is extra-cool.
@fred
You know me well.
So i was thinking, what if you had a champion of god who wasnt a heavy beliver? a harry type, just somebody who plunged himself into danger and had an awsome sword? im know im not explaining this very well and it was the best i could do
@dante I’m fairly certain that wouldn’t be a problem, and that one of the Knights of the Cross was an atheist – or at least not a dedicated worshipper of God.
I’d think it’s more important to God that they’re doing the right thing, good people, and are willing to fight against the darkness, than that they pray to him every night before going to sleep.
cool, because i wasnt sure, and i think sanya was an athiest, but its been awhile since dead beat
oh crap i mean death masks
