Editing Gladius et Aegis: Arcane Nature Traits (section)

===Campaign Setting Notes===

Selecting this trait means that you are ''Blessed'' - a human who has been given power by Angels (and by implication, God) to fight the good fight.

''Blessed'' sometimes suggest to others that they are no more or less blessed than any other human, but are simply doing the best they can. Others might claim to be instruments of the divine will, or messengers for the holy. All universally acknowledge that they command no arcane powers - rather it is God who works miracles on their behalf, and they give thanks for this. 

Anyone can become a Blessed, but it doesn't happen often at all. In any given generation there might be no more than a dozen Blessed in total, and both their calling and the strength of their enemies means that they don't tend to last long. Some ''Blessed'' work alone, or just with humans. If a ''Blessed'' does join any faction, its likely to be ''Gladius et Aegis''. Their rarity means that many supernaturals haven't even heard of them, save through rumours or apocryphal tales, and many that have heard of them don't believe they exist.

The ''Blessed'' haven't always heard of the ''Shadow Concordat'', but most of those that do recognize that it is a good thing, as it limits bloodshed and provides them some protection. No ''Blessed'' would ever put the Concordat ahead of doing the right thing, however.

While the vast majority of Blessed have been devout Christians, Muslims or Jews, there's been the occasional exception to this. In fact there's presently a Blessed in ''Gladius et Aegis'' who claims to be an agnostic and humanist, who says that the presence of angels and demons doesn't prove that there is a God, but that he does what seems to be the right thing because he chooses to.
