Vindicator
The Vindicator is imbued with the spiritual power of his avatar. When this power is manifested, he becomes a fearless and powerful warrior. He is able to enter a rage similar to that experienced by Battleragers; his face becomes contorted and he grinds his teeth together. See Battlerager for details concerning changes in appearance.

Vindicators gain all the special benefits of Battleragers, but are not allowed to specialize in any weapon.
Because of their higher Wisdom, Vindicators are usually able to exert more control over their own actions.

Vindicators have the same hindrances as Battleragers, except that members of their own Order do not react to them with a negative penalty.
When enraged, Vindicators cannot cast any spells, but may benefit from spells cast prior to becoming enraged.
