Among practitioners of these traditions, you will find those s

uch as the Fakirs, or the Tattooed Monks, who effect their gods' will through th e alteration or manipulation of their bodies. As with all religious sects, these ascetics have Paladins of their own. Adventures: The Scarred Ascetics quest as other Paladins do, as they see their o nly reason for existing as to fulfil their god's will on the material plane. Characteristics: The Scarred Ascetic sees weapons and armor as signs that one la cks faith, and so they train their bodies and minds to the point that such thing s become unnecessary. It is through the ritual scarification of their bodies wit h certain holy symbols that their god grants them various Divine powers. Being A scetics, they do not seek material wealth, or comfort, but spiritual enlightenme nt, and the fulfilment of their god's tenets. Alignment: As with all Paladins, Scarred Ascetics must be Lawful Good. Any devia tion will cause their holy sigils to lose their powers, and burn with constant p ain. Religion: Scarred Ascetics are almost exclusively followers of Pelor and Heirone ous, though a very small number have been known to follow other gods. Background:
