[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6344101, member: 6670153"] Good point, still I think alot of the spells a Paladin is likely to use in combat don't have a Somantic compentents. The only Paladin only spell that has a somatic compentent is find steed, which you're rarely cast in combat. All the Auras, Smites, Cruasader's Mantle are all verbal only. As are few less exclusive spells like command in the case of the Fey Knight Ensnaring Strike. And when it comes to healing/removing debuffs in combat, a Paladin will use his innate powers instead, Lay on Hands and Cleansing. Worse comes to worse, sheath your weapon, cast your spell, then next turn unsheath it. And have a Longstord (verstile) as back up if you think your going to be casting alot of somatic spells in combat. Looking at Fey Knight, he's going to be nasty against Spellcasters at High Levels, Aura of Warding, Aura of Courage, Aura of Protection, Immune to Disease, Cleansing Touch, and Lay on Hands. Aura of Protection makes it less likely a spell will hit the Fey Knight, he's immune to spells causing disease and fear, Lay on Hands can clear any poison effect including cause fear, and Cleansing Touch and clear any effect caused by a spell from himself or an ally. All Paladin's fet those, but the Fey Knight special trick, Aura of Warding, which grants resistance to spell based damage. And spells reinforce this, misty step and Tree Stride helps the Fey Knight get to spellcasters, Moonbeam is extra bad for spell casters using polymorph, Ensnaring Strike is a constration nightmare, and the bane of spell casters Enfeeblement, can turn them into drooling idiots permanantly (until dispelled).
