Thomasson defined the use of "champion" in the title to mean a "champion of faith", rather than in the more general sense of the term: "All characters have the potential to be champions; this book is focused on the divine, specifically divine magic and the religions of D&D --the goal we had was to make those elements of the game more accessible to characters other than paladins, clerics and druids."<ref name="Interview">{{cite web|url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20070514a|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070516075347/http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20070514a|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 16, 2007|title=Product Spotlight: Complete Champion|last=Carroll|first=Bart|date=May 14, 2007|publisher=Wizards of the Coast|access-date=August 26, 2012}}</ref>
