Divine Bond (Sp)

A divine liberator's bonded weapon can gain the following abilities, instead of those listed for paladins: anarchic, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, flaming burst, holy, keen, merciful, and speed.

A divine liberator can select any animal companion. The bond between companion and divine liberator needs to be renewed once per month; if either party is dissatisfied with the bond, it is broken and the divine liberator must seek a new companion. Some divine liberators change companions when traveling from place to place, others have a very close relationship to their companion and form a lifelong bond.

Aura of Freedom (Su)

At 11th level, the divine liberator can ignore armor penalties to the escape artist, ride and stealth skills. While mounted on a bonded companion, the companion can use the divine liberator's stealth skill bonus in place of its own. This replaces Aura of Justice.

Code of Conduct

The divine liberator must never stand by and allow someone to have their freedom taken from them without questioning it. While the divine liberator can accept imprisonment as a punishment for evil acts, slavery or forced labor is not acceptable under any circumstance,. The liberator is not required to take immediate action, but he must work to free such people and expose their plight. Unnecessary rules should be challenged, borders ignored, and individual justice and liberty upheld at all costs. The liberator can accept laws, even embrace them, but sees laws as tools to guarantee the rights of the individual against society. Any law used to repress individual freedom is a bad law and must be flaunted. Freedom of speech is not a right, it is a duty. The liberator must not remain silent when liberties are being trampled by moralism or oppression. Obligations and codes of honor the liberator takes on himself must be upheld vigorously, but the rules and demands that law and custom dictates can be freely ignored. Most liberators do not lie, steal, or use fraud because these are acts of a coward lacking integrity and which harms other individuals. By the same token, most liberators would lie, cheat, and falsify records presented to officials or other agents of taxation or oppression.

A divine liberator who ceases to be chaotic good, who willingly commits an evil act, or repeatedly and consequently ignores the code of conduct loses all class features except armor and weapon proficiencies until she atones. Minor infractions are ok, it is only when there is a pattern to the liberator's breach of the code that there is a serious problem.
