Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 3094635" data-attributes="member: 35909">I figured I'd represent the mount as a connection to the Cestial realms and thus allow for other connections.  The one I made up was simply to turn the Paladin into an avatar of sorts:Celestial Influence: At 5th level, the paladin realizes a connection to the Celestial planes.  The default is to grant a special mount, but the Paladin may forgo this and instead be imbued with Celestial power.  He then gains the following:    5th level - Shield Caster (Ex): The Paladin may channel divine energy through his shield and treat his spells as if they have no somatic components, but only while wielding a shield.    11th level – Repulse Damnation (Sp): Once per day, as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, the Paladin may invoke a protective aura that grants him SR of 12 + Paladin level.  This only protects him against any spell or spell-like ability cast by an evil creature or that has the evil or negative energy descriptors, such as Harm.  The aura persists for a number of minutes equal to the Paladin’s Charisma bonus, and may be extended for an extra minute for each use of Turn Undead the Paladin wishes to expend.  The choice to expend a use of Turn Undead need not be made until the round the aura is to dismiss and each expenditure is chosen individually each time the (new) duration is set to expire.    17th level – Heaven’s Wrath (Ex): Each time the Paladin successfully uses a Smite Evil attempt, there is a 1% chance per Paladin level, maximum 20%, that the use of Smite Evil is retained.  Smite Evil still can only be used once per round.I made a lot of changes to Paladin besides this.  One that directly affects those abilities is that they use their class level for caster level, rather than 1/2, and thus making Shield Caster a little more potent than it may seem.</blockquote>
