Canon 12: The Stricture of the Blade

Paladins may wield blades, but the Cleric may not except in making the Paladin. Let them instead take up the staff, the crook, or the rod or any such weapon as has no edge. By this he will show that his faith is sharper than steel. You must remember that those who rose against us used blades and not piety. Therefore, eschew edged weapons unless you be mistaken for one of them.

"The evil drew my blood, but my only blade was this tongue which cut them clean."

These are the Strictures of Gamasiel. These are written after the Ten Signs were given and the Path was made plain. For many holy men of the old way fought with me and my fellow shepherds, but failed. So then their priesthood was thrown down and their Temples were swept clean.

To all who would follow these strictures, I offer the New Priesthood of He who was forgotten, but is remembered again.
