Howdy,
For a specific game I intend to run, I need a Paladin-like class.
The hard requirements are:
- BAB, weapon and armor proficiencies as standard Paladin
- Spellcasting starts from level 1, and gets up to 5th level spells
- No unlimited Detect Evil (can still have it, just not unlimited uses)
- No ToB.
Here's my attempt, with only changes from the standard Paladin noted. I'm aiming for something slightly more powerful than the PHB Paladin, but not by much. Tier 4, maybe 3.
Spell Progression:
Spells per day
L 1 2 3 4 5
1 0 - - - -
2 0 - - - -
3 1 - - - -
4 1 - - - -
5 1 0 - - -
6 1 0 - - -
7 1 1 - - -
8 1 1 0 - -
9 1 1 1 - -
10 1 1 1 - -
11 2 1 1 0 -
12 2 1 2 1 -
13 2 2 2 1 -
14 2 2 2 1 0
15 3 2 2 1 1
16 3 2 3 2 1
17 3 4 3 2 1
18 3 4 3 3 1
19 4 4 3 3 2
20 4 4 4 4 2
Caster level is equal to class level. Spellcasting is spontaneous; does not memorize spells in advance, can cast any spell on the Paladin class list, assuming he has the slot.
List of level 5 spells: Atonement, Banishment, Cure Light Wounds, Mass, Dispel Magic, Greater, Disrupting Weapon, Hallow, Righteous Might, Spell Resistance, True Seeing
Detect Evil SLA 1/level per day rather than at will. Add Detect Evil to list of level 1 spells.
Hit Die: d8
Good saves: Will, For
Skill points: 4+Int
Class skills: Add Climb, Jump, Swim, Intimidate, Gather Information, Listen, Spot
Smite Evil ability: as standard Paladin, but replace "per day" with "per encounter"
Anything not mentioned above, as standard Paladin.
So, please comment.
