Bishop

Keeper of Lives

Between the final blow and the silence, you.

Strengthen your healing, consecrate a refuge on the battlefield and recognize danger before it becomes a loss. In Knell the Bishop is one of three classes that can contest death’s claim on a soul.

01What changes in Knell

The rescue has an owner.

The Interlude heals remain. What comes in is weight: only the Bishop and the Elders bring someone back from the Threshold, and each of his new tools is a decision with a long cooldown.

Only three classes rescue
Bishop, Elven Elder and Shillien Elder, from level 40. The ritual costs a Tear of Einhasad, six seconds no haste can shorten and twelve hours of cooldown. Those the Bishop rescues return with full MP and CP.
Divine Intervention
For sixty seconds, the next fatal blow leaves the ally at 1 HP and untouchable for three seconds. A blow beyond 60% of their maximum HP is beyond Einhasad’s mercy. A thirty-minute cooldown.
Sacred Light and Sanctuary
Prayer becomes an aura of healing received and regeneration, paid in MP per second. Sanctuary consecrates the ground around the Bishop for ten seconds: 30% less damage for the allies inside.
Merciful Hands
Direct heals become 30% stronger on anyone below 30% HP. The Bishop heals more exactly when it matters most.
Judgment
The Bishop’s own strike: holy damage, doubled against the undead, and half of it returns as healing. A cautious hunt, but her own.

03The moment

When the bell has not tolled yet.

The bell has not tolled yet. Somewhere in the dark a party is counting down from sixty. The Bishop reaches the body with forty seconds left; the Tear is already in her hand. Six seconds. No haste shortens them, no potion. The tank she came for lies still while she speaks. He opens his eyes scarred. Nobody calls her a buffer again.

An example vignette. The rescue cast is fixed at six seconds and can be interrupted; whoever rescues has to survive the ritual.
