Holy warriors are so *neat* in the idiom of dungeon fantasy, but so mechanically boring in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. There needs to be more that they can do. The cleric should not effectively be a better holy warrior with the right traits than the holy warrior itself and right now that's sort of the case.
So much this. (Emphasis mine.)

A minimal fix is to give the Holy Warrior access to Weapon Master (Swords, or weapon of choice) to differentiate them from clerics. That, plus their existing access to Extra Attack and Magic Resistance which Clerics do not get, plus Peter's fix to Higher Purpose (allowing it to apply per-damage-die)... I think that's about right to give Holy Warrior a distinct niche.

Holy Warrior-specific Holy Avenger swords wouldn't hurt though.
