Templar is one of the specializations available to the warrior class in Dragon Age II. The templar specialist's talents are focused on anti-magic combat.

Background[]

It takes incredible focus to wield magic, but even greater will to withstand it. The Templar specialization originated in the Chantry with the establishment of the order, and their mandate remains the restriction and containment of mages.

But the abilities Templars command are not divine; they are the product of intense training and rigorous devotions. These are achievable by any warrior, although the discipline required may seem just as much a calling.

Templars don't just endure magic, they deny it, and deny others the use of it. At the height of ability, a Templar simply shrugs off most harmful effects, and can completely suppress a mage's ability to cast.

They are warriors of singular focus, and none can match their dedication or effectiveness at taming those who would abuse the magical energies of the Fade. [1]
