Special Abilities

• Paladin Spells: A paladin casts divine spells, drawn from the paladin spell list. Paladins must choose and prepare spells in advance. To prepare or cast a spell, a paladin must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 plus the spell level.



• Turn Undead: A paladin may turn undead and force them to panic. THey can do this a number of times per day equal to 3 plus their Charisma modifier.



• Smite Evil: Once per day, a paladin may try to smite an evil enemy with a normal melee attack. The paladin adds their Charisma bonus (if any) to the attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level. If used against a non-evil target, the smite has no effect but is still used up.

• Lay on Hands: Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin with a Charisma score of 12 or higher can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to her paladin level times her Charisma bonus.



• Aura of Courage: Beginning at 3rd level, a paladin is immune to fear (magical or otherwise) and each ally within 10' (2 squares) gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against fear effects.



• Divine Health: At 3rd level, a paladin gains immunity to all diseases.
