The paladin shouts out his god's name, calling upon him to close the wounds of his fellow warrior against darkness, and to empower his blade to smite the hell out the one before him. Heck, think of tradtional prayers...how many of them call upon a deity to do just ONE thing?  Usually it's some combination of 'Make my opponents hurt a lot' with 'keep my guys from dying'</blockquote>
