Champion (Origins)

Champion
type	Warrior
effects	+2 willpower +1 cunning
description	The champion is a veteran warrior and a confident leader in battle. Possessing skill at arms impressive enough to inspire allies, the champion can also intimidate and demoralize foes. These are the heroes you find commanding an army, or plunging headlong into danger, somehow making it look easy.

Champion is one of the specializations available for the warrior class in Dragon Age: Origins and it is primarily used by skilled leaders in battle.

Rally

Sustained Range: Personal Activation: 50 Fatigue: 5% Cooldown: 30s Requires: Level 12

The champion's presence inspires nearby allies, giving them bonuses to attack and defense while this mode is active. When coupled with Motivate, the attack bonus increases.

Motivate

Passive Requires: Level 14

The champion inspires allies to attack with renewed vigor. The Rally talent now increases attack, in addition to its defense bonus.

Superiority

Passive Requires: Level 16

The champion is so fearsome that War Cry now knocks nearby opponents off their feet unless they pass a physical resistance check.

Unlocking

Champion can be unlocked by completing The Urn of Sacred Ashes and accepting Arl Eamon Guerrin's offer for a reward. Also by Secret Companion in the Party Camp.

Notes

• The specialization is useful for granting extra buffs to the party. War Cry is useful for reducing incoming damage, causing enemies who fail it's check to take penalties to hit. After learning Superiority the attack penalty is augmented by a knockdown, which is useful for crowd control. At the same time the bonus defense from Rally grants extra damage resistance to allies. When Motivate is learned an attack bonus is added to Rally. When used to its full potential the Champion is a great asset to any party.
