Signature abilities
Detailed ability breakdowns
These signature abilities now fire in battle with their own damage and cooldowns — a bigger skill or ultimate hits harder, and the two healers restore HP instead of striking. Still on the way here on the site: the full per-ability breakdown (exact multipliers and effects), plus deeper mechanics like status effects and multi-target hits.
Lore
The Holy Paladin holds a Meroveil Empire commission as a Knight-Consecrate of the Dawn Oath, third grade — the rank below Knight-Captain and above Sworn Brother, the rank at which a paladin is deemed authoritative on the field but not yet on doctrine. Her given name appears on Empire muster-rolls as Iselm Hadric, of a minor lay-noble house that has provided the Dawn Oath with one paladin per generation for six generations; the muster-clerks have noted that she is the first in that line to take the Knight-Consecrate vow without a corresponding land-grant, a choice the house elder has officially called 'principled' and privately called 'inconvenient.'
Her combat-grant is the well-attested oath-shield reflection: blows meant for allies in her covering arc redirect into the shield-face and return as a solar burst. Less well-attested is the cost — every reflection draws against her own oath-reserve, a measure the Dawn Oath prelates monitor by tested dawn-ritual rather than by self-report. Iselm has been called to Empire chapels three times this campaign for the test, and three times has been cleared for return to the line; the prelates do not publish their threshold, but Iselm's squad-priest has told her, off-record, that two of the three returns were closer to the line than is normally permitted.
She has a standing operational quarrel with Devren Korr — Korr's orders during the latest border action included a Cult-purge sweep that Iselm believes overstepped the engagement parameters specified by the chapel-of-record. She has filed two complaints through the Dawn Oath chain rather than the field-mage chain, which is a procedural choice the Empire's record-keepers describe as 'consequential.' The complaints have not yet been ruled on. She has made no public comment on the mercenary Maris Veloren but has been observed to leave any tent in which Veloren's name is spoken — the two are said to have a history from before the paladin took her vows, and her squadmates have learned not to ask about it.
