Exalted Bard College: Apostle of Peace

This archetype is converted directly from source material in The Book of Exalted Deeds, a resource book for good characters in D&D 3.5 Edition. For an in-depth analysis of goodness and how to play it, refer to “Chapter 1: The Nature of Good” in The Book of Exalted Deeds (3.5 Edition). This material is intended to support players who want to play characters relentlessly devoted to the concepts and causes of goodness. These are the characters who cannot fathom the idea of allowing evil to flourish, to whom noble ends never justify unethical means, and who would sacrifice everything for their ideals. Exalted characters cut no corners in their quests to defend against evil and advance the powers of good. They dedicate their lives to the pursuit of their virtues. Their dedication and devotion are rewarded with access to prowess and resources available only to those sanctified by such good deeds.

Apostle of Peace

In a world where conflict usually means violence, where good and evil meet regularly on the field of battle, where might too often makes right and power is measured in gold pieces, the apostle of peace is a lone voice crying in the wilderness, calling for a change of heart. Having completely forsworn violence in any form, the apostle of peace is an advocate for nonviolent resolution of conflict. A powerful font of divine magic, the apostle's spells are all aimed toward healing, calming hostility, and aiding allies.
