[QUOTE="CCamfield, post: 1242657, member: 8123"] Nice concept! I would suggest changing the name of "Favored enemy" since it is the same as the ranger ability - but different in effect. What about Slayer? I'm no good at balancing, but here are my thoughts: Increasing spell level once every 2 levels seems pretty darn good. As it stands a 3rd level Cleric/1st level Fighter qualifies. (There should be some additional requirements - maybe ranks of Knowledge(religion)? I don't know what feats...) So you could have a character who's Clr 3/Ftr 1/PalPrC 10. Such a character would be effectively level 8 as a cleric for casting - and receive considerably more spells than a 14th level core paladin. I don't know about the feats. It seems like "lots of feats" but these are essentially the paladin class abilities, and the character build mentioned above will end up with many fewer of these than a 14th level core paladin. I don't know if it's worth additional "feats" to pick things like Remove Disease additional times to get additional uses per week. You might consider allowing those abilities to increase in uses/week every 2-3 Paladin PrC levels. Finally, I think it would be highly appropriate and very cool for the character to have to go through one or more ordeals to be accepted into the order. Keep vigil all night in front of the god's altar, walk barefoot over hot coals ("if the god is truly with you, you will not be burned!"), etc. [/QUOTE]
