You just need to assume the word assassin is used liberally and it seems right up his thematic ally pay for it with . You could pay for it with a distinctive style, old style pally, or maybe even a social stress, for whatever traumatic action brought him into Jesus's loving embrace!

1- throwing B into magic gives her more spells than i wanted. she should be a rather limited caster

2- she NEEDS those ranks in banish and counter to really work right. It's more than just slaying the minions of satan, its about rebuking their schemes and machinations as well.
I made it as a plain adept not a Mystic.  No spells at all, just magical qualities with enhanced speed, senses, aim, etc.
Felt more right to me.  Jedi smites via the Sword.

I've really been toying with the idea of trying to make a "burnout paladin", if ya catch my drift, but making all the numbers work out right is hard.

I would go with straight up Physical Adept or straight up Magician at that point. Mystic Adepts are hard enough to get everything to fall into place without going burnout.

Agreed.
Actually, I'd go so far as to say the only "Burnouts" that I really care for are Physical Adepts & Conjurers.
