Effectively gets better as you level.sleep Not a bad spell itself, but as a half-caster, you won't have the spell levels to keep the "damage" rolls at a reasonable level. Still could be to finish off weakened enemies, and then bludgon them with Warrior of Reconciliation.hold person A good spell, but your DC is likely to be a few points lower than others.ray of enfeeblement Just a bad spell.Counterspell As a half-caster paladin can't trade away slots as readily. Still could be worth countering a fireball if your group is caught in it.hypnotic pattern A great spell particularly with paladins who have trouble with hordes.Otiluke’s resilient sphere A fun utility spell that can find uses.stoneskin With +cha to saves, along with resilient con, this can survive long enough to be worth using.hold monster A good spell, but 9/10 your better off saving your precious slots for wall of force instead.wall of force No-save way to cut off enemies. Another good option against hordes.Armor of Peace: Effectively +4 initiative, and a bonus action attack (as compared to a normal sword and board paladin with defensive style). Pretty good, though make the first 2 levels a bit rougher, it also makes Cha a bit more difficult to boost.Warrior of Reconciliation At first look this seems pretty good, at second, there are no Dex based bludgeoning weapons. On third look, you can KO with a short sword, heal 1 HP with lay on hands, and hit them with a mace until you charm them. 42 seconds later, you heal it 1 HP, tell it to stand still, and smack it again.I could just see a paladin followed by a wagon full of unconscious people that he wakes up and beats into submission, straps a bomb to, and sends into the enemy camp, all while preaching about peace, innocence, and patience...CD Emissary of Peace A short-lived utility, but sometimes that's all you will need.Rebuke the Violent Past Low damage, but as a reaction. Considering that no other paladin get's any level 3 features, and you get 2, there's no loss here.Aura of the Guardian Weaker than most other paladins 7's, but still useful. Improves with with protective spiritProtective Spirit A decent amount of extra HP, though only working in combat keeps it from being too good.Emissary of Redemption At first glance this seems amazing, but it's only good for 1 attack per enemy, after which it piddly (1/4) damage back and it breaks. Net result is pretty minimal against multi-attackers, though it still helps against an opening dragon breath and hordes.So overall some great spells, a litterally abusive at-will charm, and some decent features. So... blue.</blockquote>
