I really like the combination of Righteous Retribution and Master Swordplay, perfect. I am not as keen on Keep the Faith. Though it fits the theme it is one of those powers that will almost never get used but is a nice defense vs. Mind Control. I would have like to have seen a power against the supernatural but all in all a fine design. I am not sure he is worth 165 but I think he plays right, the way he is. Well done.
