Order of the Lady of Paladins

This is based heavily on the Paladin class in the PHB and a Paladin prestige class by James Wyatt.

This fighting order is dedicated to the Church of Larani. It is based in Eastern Hârn in the country of Kaldor.

The order is sponsored by the clerical order Spear of Shattered Sorrow. Members are known for their zeal in wiping out all evil as well as being blessed with the ability to heal.

• Detect Evil At will the paladin can detect evil as a spell like ability. This ability duplicates the affects of the spell detect evil
• Smite Evil Once per day a paladin of 2nd level or above may attempt to smite evil with one melee attack. She adds her Charisma Bonus (if any) to the attack roll and her level to the damage. This has no affect on non-evil beings. Smite Evil is a supernatural ability.
• Lay on Hands A 2nd and higher level Paladin may heal by the laying on of hands. She may heal up to (Charisma bonus + 1) times her level, so a 3rd level paladin with a 15 charisma could heal 9 points of damage. This may also be used to damage undead. This is a spell-like ability.
• Aura of Courage Beginning at 3rd level a paladin is immune to fear, wether magical or natural. Allies within 10 feet gain +4 to all saves versus fears effects. This is a supernatural ability.
• Divine HealthBeginning at 4th level a paladin is immune to magical and natural diseases.
• Turn UndeadWhen a paladin reaches 4th level she may turn undead as a cleric of equivalent level. She may use this ability 3 + charisma modifier times per day.
• Special Mount Upon or after reaching 5th level a paladin may call a special mount. This mount is usually a heavy warhorse. Should this mount die another may be called after a year and a day. See followup table.
• Remove Disease Starting at 6th level a paladin may remove disease as the spell once per week. This increases to twice/week at 8th level and 3 times/week at 10th. This is a spell like ability.
• Spells A paladin casts a small number of divine spells. To cast a spell the paladin must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spells level. When a 0 is given for a spell level the paladin may cast a spell of that level if she has a bonus spell for that level. A paladins caster level is her level.
