Pala is a player-controlled protagonist in Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer.
Background[]
The Silent Sisters of Orzammar are an order of zealous female dwarven warriors who follow the example of Paragon Astyth the Grey. Upon gaining membership into the order, each sister cuts out her own tongue to show her complete dedication to the art of war. When Pala learned of the Inquisition and its seemingly endless battle against demons, traitors, and monsters, the dwarf gladly accepted exile and the loss of her caste and become a surfacer.
Playstyle[]
Pala has a unique style that combines warrior and rogue abilities and traits, allowing her to rush into the front lines and strike multiple enemies at once. Like the Katari, Pala builds Guard on each hit, making her much more durable than other Damage specialists, particularly Argent and Luka.
