Defender of the Temples School

[Rixy]

While the Brahmin, as a class, are a pacifistic lot, they acknowledge and accept that lesser beings do not share the wisdom of living a non-violent way of life. Some among them take up the way of the protector, practicing techniques that will keep their attackers from being able to take the lives of their brethren while not requiring them to deal out death themselves.

Defenders focus upon the use of the sacred spears of their gods to defend holy sites and personages and also make use of kiho to channel their faith into mystical effects.
