Tip: Becoming a champion of Torm
- Paladins gain some of the fighter's combat abilities by choosing to become a champion of Torm.
- Conversely, fighters gain paladin-like abilities by playing this prestige class.
- Militant clerics may also find this prestige class appealing.
- This class should also be very interesting for rogues because it gives increased saving throws, fighter-like abilities like bonus feats, increased base attack bonus and hit points while continuing a high reflex save.
- Sorcerers have a synergy with this class as a high charisma improves many champion of Torm abilities.
