The Holy Warrior
From The Book of the Righteous by Green Ronin Publishing:
Religion: A holy warrior must devote themselves to a single deity. They are the devoted of the devoted,
and their focus should be as such. They need not shun other deities, but their loyalty is to but one deity alone.
Abilities: Charisma is the key characteristic for most holy warrior special abilities received through
chosen domains. Strength is important, because holy warriors often find themselves in combat. A Wisdom score
of 14 or higher is required to gain access to the most powerful holy warrior spells; a score of at least 11 is
required to be able to cast any holy warrior spells.
Alignment: As chosen deity.

All of the following are class features of the Holy Warrior core class:
Weapon and Armor: Holy Warriors are proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light, medium and heavy armors, and with shields.
Gifts of God: Every three levels, starting at 3rd level, a holy warrior receives a special gift from his or her god - usually a spell-like ability useable once a week. In many cases, the holy warrior receives one ability at 3rd, 6th and 9th level, then a new ability at 12th, 15th and 18th. The actual gift is detailed with the specific order (on the page dedicated to the appropriate god).
Domain-Based Special Abilities: Every holy warrior chooses two domains, based on his or her god's ethos, from a list of such domains. He or she then receives special abilities tied to those domains. Each domain provides two abilities at 1st level and a more powerful ability at 2nd level.

For example, the paladin receives special abilities from the domains of Champion and Guardian. The power lists for those domains are as follows:
Champion: Detect Evil, Lay on Hands, Smite Evil (2)
Guardian: Divine Grace, Divine Health, Aura of Courage (2)
Abilities followed by a (2) are received at second level. Abilities not followed by a number in parentheses are received at 1st level. The actual domains and speical abilities are detailed with the specific order (on the page dedicated to the appropriate god).
Spells: Beginning at 4th level, the holy warrior gains the ability to cast a few divine spells, exactly as the paladin in the PHB.
Turn Undead: Beginning at 3rd level, holy warriors may turn undead as a cleric of two levels lower, exactly as the paladin in the PHB.
Special Mount/Animal Companion: Upon reaching 5th level, a holy warrior can call an unusually intelligent, strong and loyal steed or animal companion to aid him in the service to his god (see the PHB, p. 43 for details). In the case of a companion, it is usually a noble celestial bird of some kind. It's typically a heavy warhorse in the case of a steed. Small holy warriors receive a pony when calling for a steed.
The actual mounts or animal companions are detailed with the specific order (on the page dedicated to the appropriate god). However, all holy warrior special mounts or animal companions have all of the abilities listed in the paladin's mount sidebar of the PHB.
Code of Conduct: Every order of holy warriors adheres strictly to a specific code of conduct. The actual codes are detailed with the specific order (on the page dedicated to the appropriate god).
