Paladin -- substitute abilities

[Aus_Snow]

Which issue of Dragon Magazine has the fiend-hunter type substitute abilities for the good ol' Paladin, again? I can't remember, for some accursed reason. Gah!

I know I should know, but it's eluding me right now. If someone could help, I'd be in their debt forever.

Er.

Wow, no-one else knows, either?

Ah well, I'll look it up the hard way. :\

What exactly do you mean by fiend-hunter type abilities, exactly? Dragon 349, November 2006, has a Class Acts - Warrior article called Law and Chaos, that has some variant class features for barbarians and paladins. The paladin variant features are Angel's Sight, Aura of Banishment, Aura of Sanctity, Gaze of Truth, Hunter of Fiends, Smiting Arrow, and Sword of Celestia.

Hunter of Fiends replaces Smite Evil and gives Favored Enemy (Evil Outsiders), with the FE bonus equal to 1/2 paladin level (minimum +1). Also gives Track and some changes in class skills. Aura of Banishment replaces Remove Disease, preventing any fiend-summoning within 30 feet (but only fiends of lower HD than the paladin's level).

Edit: For reference, the issue has a female elven archer on the cover.

Yep, that was the one.

If I'd had the cover in mind, that would've made it easier, I know.

Thanks, Arkhandus.

You're welcome.
