[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7680375, member: 15700"] Uh, yeah it is. Again, the paladin gets clerical spells. Just to the spells section and read how clerical magic works. It's right there in black and white, and not something fans just created out of the blue. [i]Clerical spells, including the druidic, are bestowed by the gods, so that the cleric need but pray for a few hours and the desired verbal and somatic spell components will be placed properly in his or her mind. First, second, third, and even fourth level spells are granted to the cleric through meditation and devout prayer. This spell giving is accomplished by the lesser servants of the cleric's deity. Fifth, sixth, and seventh level spells can be given to the cleric ONLY by the cleric's deity directly, not through some intermediary source. Note that the cleric might well be judged by his or her deity at such time, as the clerk must supplicate the deity for the granting of these spells.
