Paladin
Tactics
A Paladin cryture channels celestial power to support allies with restoration and buffs while keeping foes at bay. Gleaming Smite gives the Paladin a bonus attack die, which also gives it an extra chance to inflict the Distracted status on a crit. Celestial Might is a stronger version that gradually beefs up the cryture's offense with each strike. It's also the paladin's only Stamina power, so they can use it repeatedly. For support, Restoring Light can replenish the health of allies that couldn't be protected, and Paladin's Shield can reduce the damage they take altogether.
