About this class

The Herald is a holy messenger, a mouth piece for a higher power. While their duty is to spread their deities values and beliefs, they also may take action on their behalf, channeling divine power through their bodies and minds to soothe or shock those around them. Although many Heralds serve a God or Goddess, some may serve beings from other planes, powerful spirits, or even other legendary heroes.
