Her unquenchable thirst for knowledge is matched only by her extraordinary combat prowess.

Anointed knights are typically paladins or fighters with one or more wizard or cleric levels. Occasionally, an anointed knight emerges from the ranks of single-class wizards, sorcerers, clerics, or bards.

Anointed knights also ally themselves with angels, eladrins, and other forces of good. They believe In crusades against evil and enjoy taking the fight to evildoers wherever they may reside, They oppose the warriors of darkness, and the one trait they share with their evil counterparts is a lack of subtlety. An anointed knight would much rather go head-to-head with her enemies than work behind the scenes or try to organize any form of passive resistance.
