The Embattled Realms - Battle Preacher of The Church Militant

[The Tactical Tabletop]

Battle Preachers are essential members of The Church Militant, the largest religious martial organization operating within The Embattled Realms. These individuals are blessed with the ability to directly wield unearthly power, working miracles and performing deeds which can only be seen as a form of magic (albeit faith-based). The rank and file of The Church Militant may be formed of its dedicated legions of War Priests and War Deacons but it is the potent Battle Preachers who possess the devotion and zeal required to truly work God’s will on the battlefield. Able to inspire, bless, curse, and invoke heavenly devastation on the servants of evil and iniquity, they act as independent, mobile instruments of divine wrath and redemption.

They are often clad in sanctified armor and wield consecrated armaments for protection while they aid their pious, but less gifted comrades. The form these blessings assume, however, will differ from soul to soul.
