[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6422233, member: 63245"] So one of my players really likes playing dark knight characters. So before the official oathbreaker paladin preview was released we kind of just set up a couple of homebrew rules. Anyway now that the oath breaker is out I'm mandating the character to revise his character to fit in line with what the books have. No problem here, but he does want to keep one thing.... we switched out lay on hands into an inflict damage ability. Now at lower levels I don't think it's a problem but that scaling by level x 5 gives a pretty hefty amount of damage to inflict in later levels. I was thinking of making him draw from his own HP to power the ability. What do you think? We didn't even mess with the cure disease stuff but perhaps you could spend 5 HP to poison a target? What does enworld think about this? or should I just use the rules as is? He also wants to change damage type of smite from divine to necrotic, which I have no issues with. [/QUOTE]
