Templar (LWOTC)

The Templar is a wild-trained Psionic warrior that gets stronger as combat continues.

Class Overview

The Templars are a melee-focused psionic soldier that wields their psionic abilities in very unique ways. They require "focus" in order to use their abilities but each carry strong and unique effects and holding onto focus no longer grants any bonuses. To gain focus, they must use Rend, which is now aim-based instead of guaranteed, to attack an enemy regardless of whether they hit, miss or kill their targets unlike the base game which required a kill. Further focus generation can be gained through the perks they can obtain as they promote and can increase their max focus with each upgrade of their gauntlets. After using Rend, they gain a Momentum action which allows for movement or to deploy their shield. Instead of Parry/Deflect, Templars now deploy a psionic shield that grants them temporary shield HP until the next turn that allows them to absorb attacks.

The Templar can concentrate more into their psiblades to further enhance their melee capabilties to deal great damage to a single target or to a group of them.

The Templar can gain more psionic abilities to disrupt enemies, assist their allies or to deal great damage.

The Templar can become a shield, greatly increasing their defenses and can take great damage with little to no injuries.
