In secret temples far from bustling cities and priestly hierarchies, orders of esoteric warriors train their initiates in ancient traditions now forgotten or forbidden by most religious organizations. The champions of these orders are avengers — deadly weapons in the hands of their gods, imbued with divine power through secret rites of initiation. In battle, avengers swear to execute divine vengeance, entering a mental state that gives them unerring focus on a single enemy.
As an avenger, you were trained in a monastery, initiated through secret rites, and imbued with the power to smite your god’s foes. You might be a disciple of Ioun, sworn to hunt and exterminate the minions of Vecna until you one day face the Maimed God. You could be an agent of the Raven Queen, bringing death to those who would defy your mistress. Or perhaps you serve Bahamut as an agent of justice, bringing ruin to tyrants and oppressors. The organizations devoted to your god might view you as a heretic or a hero, but you answer only to your god and to the vows you swore upon your initiation as an avenger.
Where will those vows lead you? One thing is certain: Doing the will of your god is never easy and never free of peril.
“Messenger, enforcer, assassin—in time I might walk each of these paths. I go as I am called, and let the wicked tremble at the sound of [my] footsteps.”
YOU ARE an agent of divine justice. It is your task to guard the innocent, to stand watch in the shadows, to censure your deity’s foes with sacred power, and to lay them low with your weapon no matter where they hide. The enemies of your god reign unchecked throughout the world; there is much to be done.
Avengers rely on their zealous piety to see them through their battles, employing oath of enmity and Avenger’s Censure to destroy their foes. The Censure of Pursuit and the Censure of Retribution are described in Player’s Handbook 2. This chapter introduces the Censure of Unity. If you choose this version of Avenger’s Censure, you don’t focus on chasing after your enemies or driving them away from your chosen foe. Instead, you specialize in powers that bring enemies to meet judgment at your hand one at a time. Through the Censure of Unity, your attacks against your chosen foe gain strength when your allies are nearby, giving you the ability to dispatch foes quickly who arouse your wrath.
Avengers have the following class features.
The favor of your deity wards you from harm. While you are neither wearing heavy armor nor using a shield, you gain a +3 bonus to AC.
As an avenger, you train your mind, body, and soul toward one purpose: destroying the enemies of your faith. To that end, you gain divine aid in pursuing a single target, though the way you eliminate that enemy varies. Do you pin your foe down and keep other enemies away, or do you pursue your foe across the field of battle? Choose one of these options. Your choice provides bonuses to certain avenger powers, as detailed in those powers.
When you choose your Avenger’s Censure, you can choose the Censure of Unity instead of another option, such as the ones in Player’s Handbook 2.
Once per encounter, you can use a Channel Divinity power. You start with two Channel Divinity powers: abjure undead and divine guidance. You can gain additional Channel Divinity powers by taking divinity feats.
Your god gives you the power to strike down your chosen prey. You gain the oath of enmity power.
Like clerics and paladins, avengers use holy symbols to help channel and direct their divine powers. When they make their own holy symbols, the symbols are often different in some detail from the symbols used by other characters, yet avengers can use the same holy symbols used by clerics and paladins. When you wear or hold a magic holy symbol, you can add its enhancement bonus to the attack rolls and the damage rolls of avenger powers and avenger paragon path powers that have the implement keyword. Without a holy symbol, you can still use these powers.
The three key ability scores for an avenger are Wisdom, Dexterity, and Intelligence. Avengers typically choose feats, skills, and powers to complement the ability score related to their choice of Divine Censure.
Player’s Handbook 2 features the isolating avenger and the pursuing avenger. This chapter adds the commanding avenger, who becomes even more formidable when allies enter the fray against his or her foe.
The commanding avenger build is based on the Censure of Unity. Once you have sworn your oath of enmity, you hope to surround your oath of enmity target with as many of your allies as possible. If the enemy seeks to flee, your powers enable you to compel it to face you. Alone you are powerful, but fighting alongside your comrades you are vengeance incarnate.
Like other avengers, you should make Wisdom your highest ability score. Intelligence should be your second highest, followed by Dexterity.

Suggested Skills: Athletics, Perception, Religion, Stealth
Suggested At-Will Powers: *bond of censure**, overwhelming strike
Suggested Encounter Power: *pass at arms**
Suggested Daily Power: *strength of many**
**New option presented in Divine Power.*
After you swear an oath of enmity, you keep your enemy beside you and drive other foes away. Your powers help you isolate one creature at a time and bring it down quickly and let you take vengeance when that creature’s allies get past your defenses. Your attacks use Wisdom, so it should be your best ability score. Choose Intelligence for your second-best score, reflecting your keen tactical awareness. Select powers that help you sequester your foe from its allies.
Suggested Class Feature: Censure of Retribution
Suggested Feat: Toughness
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Intimidate, Religion, Streetwise
Suggested At-Will Powers: bond of retribution, overwhelming strike
Suggested Encounter Power: avenging echo

Once you swear an oath of enmity against an enemy, you pursue that creature wherever it goes. As much as it might try to escape your wrath, your powers let you follow it and punish it for trying to flee. Make Wisdom your highest ability score, and make Dexterity your second-best score to help you nimbly pursue your foe. Select powers that prevent your foe from moving away from you or that let you shift or teleport to the foe’s side.
Suggested Class Feature: Censure of Pursuit
Suggested Feat: Invigorating Pursuit
Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Perception, Religion, Stealth

The avenger class describes an origin for members of the class outside the normal expectations of a god’s worshipers. What’s true for your avenger? Did you learn your skills from a recognized religious organization, a breakaway sect of heretics, or a version of the religion thought to be extinct? How do leaders of the faith view you? Are you a hero to them, a trusted servant, a misguided fool, or a dangerous free thinker? What do you think of other faithful? Are they like family to you, or do they seem like blind sheep deaf to the truth? How do you see your own actions? Is your killing a necessary evil, a grim but righteous duty of the faithful, or [a tribute to your] deity?
You might want to have the avenger represent more than just a class in your campaign setting. With no great stretch of the imagination, you could create an organization made up of, or led by, avengers. Then, depending on the classes, alignments, and deities the PCs choose, the characters could be friends or foes of that group.
Your avenger organization might be made up of knights fighting to reclaim their holy land or a territory that they believe is rightfully theirs. With such a motivation, avengers could come across as heroes or villains. The avengers could also be a clandestine group working behind the scenes, undermining governments or working against greater evils and trappings than the typical political rivalries of nations.
You might encourage a PC to incorporate his or her background into this organization. Perhaps the character is an agent working to keep an eye on the other PCs or to guide them toward certain paths. Or maybe she is trying to recruit the other PCs for the organization’s purposes. Or perhaps the character is trying to escape the organization, hoping to start a new life free of duty or expectations.
You can choose one god for your avenger to follow, but there’s no reason why your character must champion only a single deity. You might serve the whole pantheon as a weapon against the primordials and others who oppose the immortals, or you could worship a particular pairing or group of gods based upon common cause.
Perhaps you despise slavery and tyrants, and as such you pray to Avandra for luck and Sehanine for stealth as you seek to bring your foes down. You might see yourself as the hand of fate and look to both Ioun and the Raven Queen for what the future should hold. Maybe you strike out in the dark parts of the world, hoping to bring the triune light of civilization, craft, and knowledge, serving Erathis, Ioun, and Moradin. Perhaps your dragonborn avenger puts faith in the might of dragons and pays homage to both Bahamut and Tiamat. You might believe in protecting others from dangerous knowledge and pray to both Sehanine and Vecna, believing that some secrets are better left kept. Your righteous wrath might be directed against undead with the blessings of both Pelor and the Raven Queen. It could be that you take strength from the pristine wilderness, and thus you follow Melora and Kord.
Serving more than one deity gives you more roleplaying options. You have more sources for made-up adages, more imagined religious rites you might perform, and more than one lens through which to view the world and express your perspectives. Having multiple deities also increases your opportunities to make a personal mark on the story of the campaign. If your avenger has more than one deity’s cause to care about, you’ll have more chances to bring those different causes into focus during adventures.
The avenger walks a dark path of retribution and punishment. Yet with some deities it might be difficult to figure out whom the avenger seeks to censure. When the deity is as fair-minded as Bahamut or as kind as Pelor, what role does your avenger fill? Below are some suggestions for the types of individuals or groups that an avenger devoted to a certain deity might obsess about.
Your avenger powers are called prayers. Many avengers describe the experience of calling on their gods’ powers in combat as a state in which prayers are uttered almost instinctively, as if their gods were controlling their actions. They are listed below by the level at which you gain access to them.
The new powers presented in this chapter supplement those already available to avengers. Many of the powers support the Censure of Unity, but the broad range of powers here provides useful options for any avenger.

“The fires of heaven inflame my soul. I am a sword in the hand of my god. Death means nothing to me!”
Most avengers undergo training in secret temples or monasteries to prepare for their service and receive their powers through rites of initiation, but some are endowed with divine power simply through raw devotion to their god. Such avengers dig deep within themselves to find unmatched reserves of faith, making up for their lack of formal training with holy passion. These are ardent champions.
As an ardent champion, you are an outsider, your spirit touched directly by the hand of your deity. You are most likely unlearned in the esoteric lore of your faith, and you have little connection to any hierarchies associated with it. In fact, others who lack your passion might see you as a threat to the established ways. Where cynics and pragmatists see despair or uncertainty, you see only your divine patron’s will, and you set out to accomplish it regardless of obstacles. If you are meant to triumph, you will. If you are not, you are confident that you will soon be shown another way to serve your god.

“In the turnings of the dance, the divine purpose is made clear.”

Dervishes of the dawn represent a tradition celebrating the mystic power of the sunrise and venerating gods of hope and enlightenment.

“When the gods command, I make sure you obey.”
In the days of the human empire of Nerath, many temples and faiths were wealthy and widespread enough to give rise to powerful hierarchies, kingdom-spanning organizations that often wielded both religious and secular power. These empires of faith lapsed into disorder when Nerath fell. Temples lost touch with each other, local leaders split from their distant masters, and disaffected people abandoned the great temples for generations. But in a few places, the titles and trappings of the old hierarchies survive. Imperators are among these surviving traditions, a reminder of the days when archpriests maintained temple armies led by imperators, ruled over estates, and sponsored vigilant orders of inquisitors to ferret out dissent and disloyalty.
As a dread imperator, you have been invested in accordance with the old ways. Even though your deity’s faith is only a shadow of its former kingdom-spanning glory, you still wield divine authority against your deity’s enemies. You have the power to compel obedience from your foes and inspire loyalty in your allies. You are a guardian of what you consider the right path, tirelessly seeking out foes both hidden and open. The day will come when the faith is restored throughout the lands, and you mean to be there to see it.

“Who am I? I am the sword of heaven, forged on the anvil of the world, and you have angered my master.”
You have long harbored a divine spark within yourself, a subtle shard of your god’s essence. Long has it lain dormant, but as you dispatch your enemies and see your oaths through, the essence awakens and infuses your body with astral brilliance until your mortal shell transmutes into something greater than what it once was. Your deeds are the catalyst for your transformation into a favored soul. Once you set foot on this glorious path, you ever after carry with you the blessings of your god.
Becoming a favored soul triggers several physical changes, specifically the appearance of feathery wings that grow, almost overnight, from your back. These wings have strength enough to bear your weight. Your feathers can be any color you like. As you continue down this path, your body lightens, your bones becoming hollow and strong so you can fly more easily without sacrificing your durability. By the time you complete this path, your lower body trails off into mist when you fly, thus marking you as one of the heavenly host, kin to angels, and a special servant of your god.

“The hammer of the smith must sometimes also be the hammer of the warrior.”
As the blacksmith’s hammer shapes metal according to the smith’s will, so you have been sent to shape the world to your god’s will. A tool and a weapon in your god’s hand, you are called to shape the course of kingdoms and punish those who stand opposed to the ways of your god. Although the smith’s hammer is a tool of building and creation, in time of need it can also be a weapon of destruction. In following this path, you emphasize the control elements of many avenger powers, particularly pulling, pushing, sliding, and teleporting your foes. You gain abilities that let you push your foes even with powers that don’t normally involve forced movement and that increase the distance you move your foes with your powers. True to the name of this path, you are most effective if you are wielding a hammer, such as a maul.

“Your words are nothing but wind. My words endure.”
For certain avenger sects, the swearing of oaths is a central part of their religious observances and their rites of initiation. In the teachings of these sects, an oath sworn by an avenger is akin to the words of creation spoken by the gods to give lasting form to the world; when the avenger’s will and the god’s will are one, an avenger’s oath has the power to make reality conform to the words of the oath. As a member of one of these oathsworn sects, your oath of enmity power carries particular weight. When you swear your god’s judgment against a foe, that creature’s attacks are less likely to harm you. As you advance along the oathsworn path, you gain powers that are more effective against the target of your oath, weakening it or making it vulnerable to your later attacks. You can even grant the benefit of your oath of enmity to your allies for a short time, ensuring that they help you bring your foe to justice.
| ENC | Oath of WeaknessOathsworn Attack 11 · PHB2Std Melee wpnDivine, WeaponTgt Your oath of enmity target | As you strike your sworn foe, the power of your oath saps its strength and will. Atk Wis vs AC · Hit 2[W] + Wis dmg, and tgt is weakened until EONT. |

“I am the bane of your kind.”
Many avengers find themselves confronting some great threat, such as a group of drow seeking to enslave a surface kingdom, an incursion of demons, a cult of Tharizdun worshipers, or an empire of vampires secretly ruling over human cities. Whatever the threat might be, it is dire enough to drive you to an old and powerful rite of sacred commitment. Through prayerful vigils, you have invested your oath of enmity with tremendous potency. All avengers rely on oath of enmity, but you draw on yours to perform exceptional feats in battle.
As a relentless slayer, you are always alert for signs that your enemies are at work. Your adventures often lead you away from a longtime adversary for weeks or months at a time, but you know that you have a sacred duty to which you must eventually return.
Consult with your Dungeon Master about an appropriate enemy for your character. It should be a kind of monster you’ve faced before, and one that the DM plans to feature occasionally in upcoming adventures. A slayer’s enemy is a specific group of monsters—for example, demons, devils, drow, fire giants, minotaurs, or vampires.
| ENC | Slayer’s GambitRelentless Slayer Attack 11 · DPStd Melee wpnDivine, WeaponTgt Your oath of enmity target | You recklessly bull your way through the press of enemies to meet your destiny near your chosen foe.

Eff Until the stance ends, when you make two attack rolls because of your oath of enmity, make the rolls one at a time. If the first attack roll hits, you can choose to use the second attack roll as a MBA against another enemy within reach. |
| DLY | Slayer’s AscendancyRelentless Slayer Attack 20 · DPStd Melee wpnDivine, Stance, WeaponTgt One enemy | Through the power of your goal, you see the battle as if everyone else was moving at half speed.

“Only when the mind is calm and the passions stilled can the divine purpose be understood. Never do I wield my sword in anger—only in necessity.”
Between adventures, you strive to set an example of moderation and piety. Many serene initiates are cloistered monks who pass their days in monasteries, leading lives of self-discipline and prayer until they are needed to confront darkness again.
You have chosen to follow a path of contemplation and calm. Some heroes are ruled by their passions, but you seek a disciplined approach to your quests. You are not emotionless, but you believe that you should rule your emotions instead of being ruled by them. Anger, despair, fear—all turn the mortal heart away from the divine will. Likewise, you must remain vigilant against excesses of mirth, desire, or pride. You believe that powerful emotions and worldly attachments entangle the spirit with the mortal realm and keep you from paying attention to what is most important.
Although you are slow to anger and careful in your actions, you are no pacifist. The world is full of dangers that must be met with force, and you are a warrior sworn to the service of the divine. When violent action is necessary—as it all too often is—you battle your enemies with dispassionate efficiency. You see no reason to waste words on those who can’t or won’t listen, or to extend mercy to those who would try to exploit it.

“Look upon my face and see the face of my god.”
At the culmination of your rite of initiation years ago, one of the avengers in your secret temple pulled back the hood of a voluminous cloak to reveal a face that was not mortal, but fully divine. You saw the face of your god in that moment, and that sight transformed you. That knowledge of divine presence is what allows you to wield the power you have and what authorizes you to act in your god’s name. Slowly — ever so slowly — you are growing into the image of your god, to the point where your face begins to reveal your deity’s countenance as well. Your path is about your own physical and spiritual transformation. You can tap into the vigilance of the divine mind and transform yourself into a divine aspect not unlike an angel, flying on wings to better fight your god’s foes.

“Sometimes it falls to me to keep the wolves away from the flock. I do what I can.”
Hidden orders and secret ceremonies of initiation are the way for many avengers, but you have come to embrace a simpler tradition. You are a protector of the common folk who hides in plain sight. With a quiet manner and thoughtful devotion, you are a steward of the gods’ teachings, and between adventures you pay as much attention to the spiritual well-being of the common folk as you pay to your avenger prayers.
Many of the people you guard think you are nothing more than a rustic village priest or a wandering friar—unusually wise and compassionate, perhaps, but certainly no monster-slaying hero. They’re mistaken, of course, but that suits you just fine. While you tend to their spiritual needs, you remain vigilant for trouble; brigands, marauders, hungry monsters, and villains all seek to prey on the weak and defenseless, so you stand guard over your flock to keep these threats at bay.
You prefer to avoid fame and glory, since that way leads to pride and an inevitable fall. To you it’s far better to allow your fellow adventurers to bask in the triumphs of the day and downplay your own contributions. After all, you believe that your reward lies in the next world, not in this one.

Eff You and each bloodied ally within 5 sq of you can spend a healing surge. Miss Half dmg. |
“Everything comes down to chance: whether I live and whether you die.”
You are a servant of a deity of luck, and you completely trust your own good fortune. As a symbol of your devotion to chance, you always carry a set of dice with you. When in doubt, you trust the dice to determine your actions. Just like the wind, you can be gentle and complacent or a dangerous storm capable of destroying those who stand in your way. Although you are always unpredictable, you can be a brave and loyal companion; fortune brought your company together, after all, and you know better than most that great deeds often flow from unlikely friendships or chance meetings.
You are probably a worshiper of Avandra or a similar deity. Your purpose is to inspire people to be daring, to take chances and seize opportunities, for those who take no risks never realize their full potential. In battle, you have learned to rely on chance. You are a potent combatant when luck favors you.
Although you might not represent the typical image of a divine servant, you are nonetheless a faithful devotee of your deity and your beliefs. You have little regard for the strictures of formal worship—you’re more likely to be found gambling in a tavern than praying in a temple. But when chance leads you down the path to adventure or into a situation that demands action, you don’t hesitate to join the fight. After all, that’s what the dice told you to do.
| ENC | Luck, Not SkillWeapon of Fortune Attack 11 · DPStd Melee wpnDivine, WeaponTgt One creature | It’s better to be lucky than skillful.

“It is the will of Sehanine that the servants of Lolth should die as they lived — in silence and in secret.”
Every avenger is trained in the ruthless art of combat and skilled in the art of isolating a foe and dispatching it with a few swift blows. Some avenger sects also emphasize the art of stealth — particularly those dedicated to deities who favor stealth, shadows, and secrecy, including Sehanine, Lolth, Zehir, and Vecna. Among these avengers, the most dangerous follow the path of the zealous assassin. As a follower of this path, you embody devotion and ruthlessness in equal measure. Your skills are focused on the ability to slip in and out of shadows at the edge of combat, dealing blows that quickly dispose of enemies. You master techniques that take advantage of openings in combat, dealing greater damage when you have combat advantage or against bloodied foes. At the culmination of the path, you can make yourself invisible to your foe, then sear it with blinding radiance that leaves it more susceptible to your attacks.
