Defiant
(Planar Handbook variant, p. 44)
Defiants take the teaching of the Athar to heart in a way that grants them tremendous powers against those who claim to wield divine might.
Requirements
Skills: Knowledge (the planes) 4 ranks , Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks
Base Will Save Bonus: +5.
Special: Defiants cannot worship any deity or have one as a patron. Any character who has any connection to a god, demigod, or other divine entity must renounce that connection before taking a level in this prestige class.
A paladin or cleric of a specific god cannot become a defiant until the character renounces all belief and faith in the deity, becoming an ex-cleric or ex-paladin and losing all spells and class features except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons. This restriction does not affect clerics who worship a cause or a nonpersonified source of divine magic.
