Or simply the ability to imbue any weapon with qualities? e.g. good-aligned, holy, keen, cold iron, silvered, adamantine, vorpal. . . (?)Appropriate spell-like abilities x/day and/or at will? e.g. Daylight, maybe some of the spells from the Good Domain. . . (?)Channeling a higher power of some kind (deity/angel/other)? - perhaps with exhaustion/drain/other factors after?Transforming into 'increasingly celestial' forms with capacities to match, a certain number of times per day/week/whatever? Or maybe transforming steadily and permanently, perhaps towards something like the Ascension/Enlightenment/etc. state featured in other classes?Bonus feats? - a la Fighters and PsyWars, but yeah, Paladin-ish. . . :\ OK, this one's a no-brainer, but I did say simple.Emphasising and augmenting the (arguably) traditional leadership qualities of the paladin? - well, there's the feat, but I don't know. Maybe bonuses to skill rolls 'n such when leading, bonuses to others' attack rolls and so forth when being inspired/led by the paladin (?) I dunno, haven't thought about this one.Truthsense?Creating auras of power/resistance/repulsion/etc. that can surround a group (centred on the Paladin)? Just stuff blurted out in one go, but yeah like I said, it'd be handy to know which way you'd like to take them.</blockquote>
