he arbiter is a champion of balance. He is a warrior who has dedicated his life to maintaining the equilibrium between good and evil in the world, that it may flourish through its diversity. As a master of both spirit and arms, he has strengths similar to a paladin: clerical skill that complements his martial prowess. He has demanding strictures of behavior which he must maintain in order to keep his spirit in harmony with balance. It is not an easy task, but there are many rewards for those willing to undertake the challenge.

As a knight trained in the basics of swordplay, the arbiter is best suited to wielding swords.

Arbiters strictly adhere to neutral alignment. Transgressions that take them beyond the boundaries of neutrality will cause them to fall from grace, and require atonement in order to return to good standing.
