Stormlance is nifty, as are the wings. However, with the wings, I'd specify the target as "Personal or Special Mount", so that your mount can fly too.

Did that for Wings of Fire. I didn't write that at first since I'd already created Pegasus Wings for that purpose. For Ember Wings I made a something I though was more thematically suited to a mount, Heavenly Leap. I didn't think that +20 to what will usually be a single jump check would be overpowered for a spell the Paladin gets at 6th level but I'm no authority on these things.

This look really good; it's nice to see Paladin-specific spells for a change. One thing that I'd like to mention is that it seems you counted as each level in Paladin as half a caster level, was that on purpose?

Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is one-half her paladin level.

That's because it is.

Just one thing, the wings of Pegasus thing exists already, in complete divine there is a spell that grants your mount wings and the ability to fly

everything else is good

Oh well. I can't check a book I don't have.

Holy arrows creating 20 +1 arrows instantly? you could just prepare this spell over and over, then sell the arrows. repeat until you have enough money to start your own church in your name.

And the second the "paladin" does that, the DM would be absolutely right to smite his ass with his Alignment Bitchslap ability.

[knightsaline]

hey, as long as the paladin stays LG and pays lip service to the church he serves, he stays within his Code (unless he has VoP, then you lose all those shiny benefits). if you are playing eberron, then it doesn't even matter if you do this, as long as you stay LG. clerics can go against their church and still receive spells. besides, any DM that allows a spell that instantly creates 20 +1 arrows without XP is being unrealistic. the party sorc or wizard has to spend XP to create the same type of arrows.

[Eighth_Seraph]

Just put in a clause that states that the arrows last for an hour per caster level or even a flat 24 hours. Any Paladin selling those is conning his client if he doesn't inform him of that small effect, stripping the Paladin of his powers.

[Triaxx]

Hmmm... Sounds rather like it should be for enchanting a pre-existing bundle of arrows.

[Eighth_Seraph]

Problem with doing that is you end up with +5 Holy Keen Axiomatic Distance arrows, going over the +10 effective bonus.
