Warrior Saints is from Pyramid #3/36: Dungeon Fantasy. It draws on GURPS Powers: Divine Favor to provide a different way to create holy characters. Mark and Douglas seem to like it ;)

It's really a very different feeling for holy delvers. Gone are the spells. They're replaced with a different mechanic. Saints are jack of all trades that can ask divine aid in most situations (though sometimes their patron god is busy, or prefers that they should not bother him with such requests), while warrior saints are specialists that have arrived to an understanding with their divine patron, and so are granted some specific miracles without all the paperwork it usually entails (and they can ask for things outside of that, but their deities are often not very cooperative, meaning that unless it's really dire, it doesn't work that often). Oh, and they kick [undead] coccyx in the name of the lord!
