Powerful Artifact: Holy Warrior Sword: Any Holy Warrior of at least 5th Level can bring any Master Work quality sword and place it on the Altar pledging both it and his life in service. He will then fast and pray for 40 days and nights, after which if he is found worthy the sword will be imbued with a degree of power (elsewhere defined) and it will grow with him as he fights evil and Undead, if he is not found worthy, then the sword remains only a high quality sword. When he falls (he will die in service since he may not retire) any other Holy Warrior of at least 5th Level may claim the sword, but only if he also will place the sword on the Altar pledging both it and his life in service. He will then fast and pray for 40 days and nights, after which if he is found worthy he may carry and use the sword. If he is not found worthy, then he must leave the sword at the Altar for another to claim.
Holy Warrior aka replaces Clerics and Paladins. Holy Warriors are what I think Clerics should have been from the beginning. And maybe they started that way. I don't know if Arneson had the no edged weapons in Blackmoor or if that was all a Gygax adjustment to Clerics.
