'CHAMPION OF MAN' (1813)
Some rare few anti-paladins choose to embody the name of their guild in the truest sense, rejecting all divine influence in the mortal world. Does the anti-paladin not excel at arts both mystical and physical? Does he not represent the heights to which a man might soar without reliance upon divinity? The path of a Champion of Man is one of both great power and price. Divine sanctuary is dramatically less effective in reducing the force of the Champion's blows. Supplications of all kinds are much less effective when used either for or against the Champion. The Champion enjoys a resistance to holy and unholy damage from any source. However, the Champion may also no longer purchase the aid of mercenary healers, and prayers meant to heal or protect him may be reduced incredibly in effectiveness or fail outright. A character with a tattoo cannot choose this edge, and one that later gains a divine tattoo in defiance of his former creed will, at best, lose the benefits of it. See also: WORLDBIND, EDGES
