It telepathically weeps every time it slays anything.), 34 cloak of resistance +2, psionic tattoos: body adjustment (x4), time hop (x4), mindlink (x4) History: Early in life, Delos was small for his age and often chased by bullies through the streets of the large city he called home. He got in fights every day and finally left home as a teenager to seek his fortune. Soon, he came upon a small village terrorized by an ogre named Garik. Garik regularly raided the village, taking what he wanted and beating anyone opposing him to death. Delos stood up to the huge creature and fought him off with a tree branch. A wandering paladin, also responding to the village’s plight, witnessed this bravery and Delos’ incredible speed, and offered to take him into his order as a squire. After traveling with the paladin and becoming impressed with his selflessness, the order accepted Delos as a member. Some time later, when his liege died in battle, Delos began to feel pain whenever evil came near, and became a sensate. He has left the paladin order, and now wanders the world, looking for a powerful psion to help him deal with his abilities. So far, none have been able to help, but he has gained numerous contacts in the psionic underworld, and has a mentor of sorts who occasionally scribes psionic tattoos for him. Delos dislikes cities, but haunts them anyway, always in search of someone who can explain his abilities, and possibly offer a cure. Appearance: Delos is a thin man, appearing over thirty even though he is in his twenties, who nearly always wears a pained expression when in populated areas, due to his sensitivity to evil. Delos conceals his mithral shirt under voluminous cloaks and robes, and often poses as a traveling wizard or sage. His numerous tattoos are more difficult to conceal, and often mark him as a stranger. Personality: Delos’ personality is like that of a kind, cheerful man who happens to have a headache. Fits of irritability and impatience spoil his otherwise benevolent nature. He is always fighting to suppress the constant pain of evil auras. Using Delos: Delos can be used as a cohort by a psion or paladin, or as a source of information in a city. He is especially good at finding strong sources of tangible evil, such as evil outsiders or spellcasters. Delos might come to the player characters for help if an evil too powerful for him to fight is nearby.
Sword Saint “Battle is righteous.” A sword saint is a type of paladin who channels divine power into a holy blade. Sword saints usually do not refer to themselves as such, but typically call themselves paladins. Only the most powerful (usually level 7+) members of the class ever dare to use the title “sword saint”. Design Notes: This class is primarily for paladins who do not like casting spells. Some paladin players just like to fight, and this class gives them the opportunity to be very good at it without taking levels of fighter. Hit Dice: d10 Requirements Alignment: Lawful good Base attack bonus: +6 or higher Feats: Weapon Focus with any two of the following: bastard sword, great sword, long sword, rapier, scimitar, short sword, or two-bladed sword Special: You must have the paladin’s smite evil ability.

In addition, sword saints may use smite evil one additional time per day. Code of Conduct: As paladins, sword saints follow the same Code of Conduct and associate restrictions. Heal Blade (Sp): You may use your lay on hands ability to cure damage dealt to a righteous, holy, or holy burst sword, including a sword that gained its ability from one of your sword saint class abilities or one summoned by you with the call holy avenger ability.
