Skill Points at Each Level:  2 + Int modifier.Lvl/BAB/Fort/Ref/Will     Special1           +0      +2       +0      +2      Dedicated Lesser, Divine Resistance +12           +1      +3       +0      +3      Call Upon Aid3           +2      +3       +1      +3      Smite Infidel, Divine Resistance +24           +3      +4       +1      +4      Spell Resistance5           +3      +4       +1      +4      Voice of Authority    CLASS FEATURESAll the following are features of the Pholtan templar prestige class.Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Pholtan templars are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor, and with shields.Dedicated Lesser:  At first level, a Pholtan templar is assigned a subordinate, whose duty is to serve the templar in all things.  This subordinate is most often a fighter or cleric (or fighter/cleric), and his level is three plus the Pholtan templar’s charisma bonus.  This dedicated lesser may not be higher level than the templar, however.  If the dedicated lesser is ever admitted to the ranks of the templars, he is freed of his service, and gains a dedicated lesser of his own.Most often, a dedicated lesser is used as a messenger, a seneschal, a squire, or some combination of all three.Divine Resistance:  At first level, Pholtan templars gain a +1 divine bonus to all saving throws against divine magic not originating from Pholtus.  At 3rd level, this bonus increases to +2.Call Upon Aid:  At second level, the Pholtan templar may beg Pholtus to send a representative.  This ability functions exactly like the spell lesser planar ally.Smite Infidel: Once per day, a Pholtan templar of 3rd level or higher may attempt to smite an infidel with one normal melee attack. An infidel is defined for the purposes of this effect as any character who has divine spell casting ability that does not worship Pholtus.  The Pholtan templar adds his Charisma modifier (if positive) to his attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per level. If the Pholtan templar accidentally smites a creature that is not an infidel, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for that day. Smite Infidel is a supernatural ability.Spell Resistance:  At fourth level, the templar gains spell resistance equal to 10 + half his character level + his Cha bonus.Voice of Authority:  At fifth level, the templar is annointed with the Truth of Pholtus.  He gains a +2 circumstance bonus to all Charisma-based skills, Charisma Checks, and Turn Undead attempts.  Further, he is invested with temporal authority to pass judgements on citizens of the Pale.Once per day, the templar may use his Voice of Authority to enact a greater command, as the spell.edited to reflect comments and suggestions, below.</blockquote>
