Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 914082" data-attributes="member: 3424">Thanks to everyone for the input so far.  I have made major changes to the class as a result.  It still has attraction for a Paladin who wants to focus on fighting instead of spells, but the flexibility to choose abilities and gain fighter feats has been withdrawn.The prerequisites are also more stringent, requiring Combat Reflexes and Weapon Focus in the deity's favored weapon instead of the previous requirement of any two feats from the Fighter's list of bonus feat.  Iron Will is also a prerequisite, but in order to make it easy for Paladins to qualify, Divine Grace may be substituted. The effects of both are the same anyway - you are more resistant to Will saves.Paladins taking this PrC become more effective in an actual physical fight against evil, but give up better spells, and increased Lay on Hands ability.  They also give up Smite Evil, Remove Disease and Turn Undead progression, but this is compensated for.Pure-class fighters taking this PrC gain special abilities at roughly the same rate that they would have gained feats.  The special abilities are better than most fighter feats, but are only effective against evil opponents and go away in an anti-magic field.The last two abilities may seem rather powerful, but Blessing of Guidance is actually not as good as a permanent Bless Weapon (1st-level Paladin spell) effect and Blessing of Precision is about as powerful as the Weapon Master's Ki Critical ability.As always, inputs and comments are welcome.</blockquote>
