Fist of Raziel

The fists of Raziel represent a knightly order dedicated to the celestial patron of holy warfare against evil. Its members include large numbers of paladins, as well as lawful good clerics, fighters, rangers, and occasionally warriors. While Sealtiel champions those who defend good communities from evil assault, Raziel’s crusaders lead the charge against evil wherever it is found. Smiting evil is their mission and their specialty.

To become a fist of Raziel, a character must already possess some degree of divine spellcasting ability, so members of the class generally begin as paladins or clerics, less often as fighter/clerics or ranger/clerics. Perhaps strangely, the order includes a number of ex-barbarians who first multiclassed as clerics and then adopted the fist of Raziel prestige class. These ferocious warriors seem to be drawn to Raziel’s crusading creed.

The fists of Raziel are an elite, ordered, and disciplined fighting force. To make best use of their power, however, they typically serve as leaders or advisors to adventuring parties, military strike teams, or the armies of good kingdoms, working with members of other classes instead of with each other.
