Knights redemptive understand full well the strength of temptation. Wrath, greed, and more form stronger barriers than any enemy, striking not at the body but at the mind.

Regardless of this origin, these knights are natural mentors and companions, helping others follow their path of good.

While knights redemptive prefer the way of peace, they know full well violence may be a necessary option. They cast helpful spells on their allies, such as cure wounds and aid. They utilize Aura of the Guardian to take blows for their allies before meting out justice with Rebuke the Violent on their next turn.

Similarly, knights redemptive will flee with their charges; the path of redemption is usually easier if the walker is alive.
