[QUOTE="Lela, post: 623789, member: 1216"] Okay, a while ago someone asked about my PrC and it's power levels. Sorry it took me so long. Prestige Class (Custom) Requirements: Alignment: Lawful Good Base Attack Bonus: +3 Diplomacy: 5 ranks Feats: Extra Turning or Two Weapon spicific feats (must both be for the same weapon) Special: The character must have proformed a great service to advance the purposes of the deity to which he seeks to become a Paladin. He must also gain the FULL approval of the deity's church. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Light, Medium, and Heavy Armors; Shields; all Simple and Martial Weapons. [b]1st:[/b] Detect Evil; Deity Granted Power (Lower); Divine Health; Divine Spell Use [b]2nd:[/b] Divine Grace; Smite Evil [b]3rd:[/b] Turn Undead [b]5th:[/b] Celestial Companion (DotF); Deity Granted Power (Medium); Smite Evil 2/day [b]6th:[/b] Lay on hands (Character Level times Charisma Mod) [b]8th:[/b] Smite Evil 3/day [b]10th:[/b] True Connection [b]Deity Granted Power:[/b] Each deity will choose the abilities they give their Paladin. These abilities will emphasize both the philosophy and shpere of influance the deity has. For instance, a deity of magic might grant SR. These powers scale with levels (Lower, Medium, True Connection). The DM may choose to keep the powers secret from the player for flavor reasons. In Tyr's case I'm going with [I]See Invisibility[/I] always active (Lower, 1st), automatic saving throw vs. all Illusion spells (Medium, 5th), and [i]True Seeing[/i] always active or at will (True Connection, 10th). [Actually, this aspect of Tyr's Paladins is influanced by Torm who values Truth above all else. As Tyr's general, Torm was asked to take over most of the Paladin orders.

Celestial Companion the same. *Because of the closeness of the Triad, Paladins draw different aspects of their power from each deity.
