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 who become a champion of Torm gain paladin-like abilities, with no losses at all to their own class abilities.
 * 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.

Pen & paper notes

 * The champion of Torm class is based on the PnP divine champion prestige class. However, while the divine champion class has a maximum level of 5 (similar to the Harper Scout level maximum), BioWare's class has no set limit other than that inherent to prestige class rules (max 30 levels, including epic levels). The distinguishing feature seems to be that the name champion of Torm suggests worship of the deity Torm, though this restriction is not actually enforced in the game. Jeff Marvin, BioWare Web Developer posted the following: "Champions of Torm are mighty warriors who dedicate themselves to Torm's cause, defending holy ground, destroying enemies of the church, and slaying mythical beasts." Presumably some gameworlds may further define this class with their scripts.
