Prerequisite: Only a vindicator can take this paragon path.
As your power grows, so too does your talent for violence. Fed by the visceral thrill of facing down an invading army, the grim joy of slaying a self-assured tyrant, the beast within never remains sated for long. Nevertheless, you continue to choose a path of virtue, carefully directing its bloodthirst ever toward the deserving.
