Righteousness (skill)
Drawing upon his or her devotion, a Templar wields the skill of Righteousness to provide an assortment of benefits for the individual or the team. While it maintains some similar functionalities to that of the Devotion skill attributed to the Paladins from whence the Templars came, it also brings the unique feature of auras that the holy knight may exude, giving both defensive and offensive advantage depending, as well as abilities to aid and protect their allies in combat and even to bring redemption and life anew to those of their comrades who have fallen in battle.
