Templar
type	Warrior
description	These unrelenting warriors specialize in fighting mages and demons. No enemy's magic can withstand them, and they inspire and protect their allies with their righteous power.

Templar is a warrior specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Description

Warriors who specialize in the Templar discipline empower not only themselves, but those around them, making every battle a little easier. Whether dispelling hostile magic or inspiring your comrades, this discipline puts an emphasis on supporting the party. Because of the templars' proficiency in battling mages and demons, this specialization is especially useful in closing Fade Rifts.

Acquisition

This specialization is obtainable through the Quest Way of the Templar, obtained from Ser. After acquiring the following, Ser will teach the Inquisitor the specialization.

• Writing on Templar methods (available from either Cassandra or the book merchant in Val Royeaux).
  • You don't get it from Cassandra personally; you will find it in her living space above the blacksmith inside Skyhold.
• Three broken philters from demons (located in Witchwood, West Road, and Lady Shayna's Valley in the Hinterlands; can also be obtained from Red Templars )
• UNLIMITED Broken Philters can also be bought from the store in Skyhold that has an no merchant, which can only be obtained from doing the Skyhold Quartermaster War Table Operation (this operation comes in the form of a quest given to you by the Quartermaster of Skyhold after Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts). They are located under Materials and they aren't always available. I am not sure if "The Short List" perk is required but I was using it when this was discovered so I would assume it is required.
• Materials for philters. (Once the Embrium and Broken Philters are collected craft a new one at the requisitions table.)
