Divine power protects the paladin and gives her special powers. It wards off harm, protects her from disease, lets her heal herself, and guards her heart against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing their wounds or curing diseases. Finally, the paladin can use this power to detect and destroy evil.

[h2]Major Class Features:[/h2]

[h3]Smite Evil[/h3]
A paladin may attempt to smite evil with melee attacks.

She adds her Cha bonus to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per level.

Uses per day: 1 + level / 5.

[h3]Lay on Hands[/h3]
A paladin with a Cha bonus can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch.

Healing points per day: level x Cha bonus. The healing can be divided among several uses.

This ability can also be used to strike undead: after a successful melee touch attack (doesn’t provoke AOs), the paladin can spend the points to deal damage to the undead.

[h3]Detect Evil[/h3]
A paladin can sense the presence of evil.
