Paladesque

Paladesque is an acquired template which is granted by Lawful Good deities upon chosen Lawful Good servants, especially redeemed monsters.

Size and Type: A Paladesque's type changes to Outsider with the Good and Lawful subtypes as well as Augmented (previous type). Do not recalculate BAB, saves, skills, or hit points.

Armor Class: A Paladesque gains a +2 sacred bonus to their Armor Class.

Special Attacks:

Smite Evil (Su): A Paladesque gains the ability to smite evil 1/day + 1/day per 4 hit dice it possesses. A Paladeseque adds their Charisma modifier to hit and Hit Dice to damage when they use this ability.

Great Smite (Su): Once per day a Paladesque with at least 10 hit dice may make a slaying smite. This functions as a regular smite evil except that a struck creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha modifier) or be destroyed. This is a death effect unless used on undead which it affects normally despite their lack of Constitution score.

Lay on Hands (Su): A Paladesque can use Lay on Hands as a Paladin of their Hit Dice.

Turn Undead (Su): A Paladesque can turn undead as a cleric 3 levels lower than its hit dice. If a Paladesque has turning from another source their levels in both do not stack and they keep track of the uses of each separately.

Special Qualities:

Divine Grace (Su): A Paladesque gains a bonus to all saving throws equal to their Charisma modifier.

Divine Health (Su): A Paladesque is immune to disease.

Aura of Courage (Su): A Paladesque is immune to fear and allies within 10 ft gain a +4 morale bonus on saves versus fear.

Magic Circle against Evil (Su): A Paladesque can radiate a Magic Circle against Evil (as the spell) for a number of rounds each day equal to twice their Hit Dice. Activating or deactivating this ability is a free action.

Damage Reduction (Su): A Paladesque gains DR 5/evil, increasing to 10/evil if they have 10 or more Hit Dice.

Abilities: A Paladesque gains +4 Str, +2 Con, +4 Wis, and +4 Cha.

Feats: A Paladesque gains 1 Divine Feat as a bonus feat.

Challenge Rating: +2.

Level Adjustment: +4.
