Chapter 4 Tough Sub-Professions
A line of career descriptions appeared in front of Wren's eyes:
"Paladin, a soldier who is not proud of the faith of the gods, but who uses his faith as a shield and is ready to fight at any time.
He fought for what he believed to be right, and his unwavering faith gave him unparalleled strength and blessed his companions and comrades, while punishing his enemies with cruelty.
Although some call the Paladin an overly nervous fanatic, his companions and comrades alike consider him a staunch warrior of faith and law, a benevolent man who protects the people, and a backbone against evil. ”
This subclass called Paladin doesn't give Wren any specialization or attribute points, but it greatly enhances his abilities on the other hand.
Starting with activating this subclass at level 3, Renne's Paladin level increases by 1 level, allowing him to choose one of three extended skills.
- "The Power of Faith (Offensive Aura): Drawn to the frenzy of battle, the Paladin gives his teammates the power of fairness and justice. This flash of force leaves its trail, and the attack tears through armor and injures flesh. When you attack with an allied creature within 10 feet of you, you can add your Charisma Modifier /2 to the damage check. You must remain conscious when providing this bonus. ”
This aura ability can be seen as an aura-specific ability such as the Paladin's Guardian Aura and Courage Aura, which can effectively increase the output of oneself and nearby teammates.
- "Devotional Prayer (Defense Aura): The Paladin warms himself and all those he deems good with a gentle and healing glow. Consumes a spell slot to restore health to you and allied creatures within 10 feet of Spell Slot Level *Paladin Level/2, and heals equal to your Charisma modifier. ”
Although the Holy Warrior also has healing methods such as holy healing and various divine arts, the healing effect is not enough compared to [Prayer of God].
For a Paladin who has mastered the 5-ring magic at full level (level 20), consuming a 5-ring spell slot, a [Prayer of God's Heart] is enough to restore 20*5/2=50 HP, and such a paladin must have charisma (charisma adjustment value +5), and can recover injuries for at least five teammates at a time.
And such a powerful aura-like special ability is just one of the Paladin's first three optional skills!
"Tsk, originally the release of [Holy Slash] required the consumption of spell slots, and now there is another ...... to grab spell slots"
Wren couldn't help but pinch his teeth.
According to his current level, he only has three 1-ring spell slots, and he can't withstand such consumption at all.
In addition to that, Wren also got a hint.
Unlike the Paladin's aura-specific abilities, the offensive aura and defensive aura of the subclass [Paladin] can only be activated at the same time, and the same type of aura cannot be stacked.
- "Bloody Sacrifice (Combat Skill): What is the price of light? By smearing your own blood on a weapon that symbolizes your beliefs! Add your Paladin level to the damage check, and each time you deal damage, you will lose Charisma Modifier /2 Health (rounded down). ”
This is a skill that hurts oneself first and then the enemy, although the early damage is not too high, but when Wren's level increases, the damage caused is extremely considerable.
Three extended skills appeared in front of Wren for him to choose from.
He can make a choice at any time until he reaches level four, but once he has made a choice, he cannot change it again.
The next step is to have a revenge trial, so it's better to improve your strength as soon as possible!
Wren shook his head slightly, and quickly made up his mind.
If he doesn't complete the revenge trial, then he won't have any future to speak of, and the career level he has recovered now and the various abilities he has gained will completely disappear from his body!
"What the rabbit promises to others, it will be done no matter what!"
Wren said secretly in his heart.
With this realization, Wren finally made a decision in his heart when he looked at the three skills again.
…………
In the early morning, facing the morning light, a figure appeared in front of a valley in the Sword Mountains.
"It's finally ......"
Wren raised his left hand, wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the valley hidden in the shadows, and gasped softly.
According to the place in memory, the site of the trial, the Vandalin Pit, is in the deepest part of this valley.
It was once one of the richest pits in the Bauhinia Business Alliance, but it was destroyed by a wild life riot a hundred years ago and has been abandoned until now.
The town of Van Lin, where he grew up, gradually prospered on the Van Dalin Pit.
However, with the abandonment of the Van Dahlin Pit, the town has gradually lost its vitality, and more and more young people have left the town to find a job to fill their stomachs in the big cities.
The continuous decline in population has also caused many shrines of gods to withdraw from this dilapidated town, and now in Van Lin Town, only the temple of the god of contract and guardianship is still struggling to support.
This is followed by the gradual rise of evil forces.
The Red Label Gang is the best example of this.
"After killing that uncle, it's their turn next!"
Wren raised his foot and stepped lightly on the ground, and walked towards the valley with his sword in hand.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the sun into the shadows, a sharp touch came from his waist.
At some point, a dagger was placed on his waist.
"Stop!"
A hoarse, deep voice rang out behind Wren.
Then, a warrior with a pickaxe and a light crossbow in both hands stepped out of the bushes beside him, the glittering bolts of the arrow trough facing Wren's brow.
"Who are you? Say! Who told you to come here? ”
He stared into Wren's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Wren could perceive that the dagger at his waist was slightly pushed forward.
This is a warning!
Remind yourself to be honest and answer each other's questions!
Looking at the warrior's bare head, gray-white skin, and the chain mail that had been specially painted gray, Wren secretly screamed in his heart.
He never expected to meet the gray dwarf here!
Grey dwarves, a subspecies of dwarves, also known as Durga dwarves, live in the dark regions all year round.
However, due to the enslavement of the spirit suckers for many years, their minds have also become distorted and dark, and the camp has gradually shifted from the orderly good to the orderly evil.
Even if they finally get rid of the enslavement of the spirit-absorbing monsters with the help of the evil gods and regain their freedom, they will not be able to change back to what they once were.
Just, how can there be gray dwarves here?
Such doubts flashed through Wren's mind, who forced himself to calm down.
