Powers

Holy Knight Training:

• Divine Empowerment: Paladins can access their own inner holiness. The result of this causes them to either empower their own abilities, their allies, or even perform holy magic.
  • Holy Explosion Manipulation: When enraged by an ally’s death, a Paladin can perform a spell called “Righteous Fury.” This spell will cause an explosion at the center of a target. The explosion will greatly affect Demons, Undead and children.
  • Strength Augmentation: Paladins can cast upon a “Blessing of Strength” on a target. This will increase their physical strength for the duration of combat.
    • Verbal Dependence: Allies that have been blessed must recite a phrase of empowerment before attempting to attack a target. Should they fail, they will not be able to correctly hit the target.
  • Holy Chain Creations: By using the holy spell “Honor Chains,” Paladins can summon forth chains made out of pure light. These will attach a target to either another person or the ground. Only a Paladin can break the spell by whispering an ancient word of honor of their choosing.
    • Binding: The target of the spell is bounded to whatever the Paladin chose as an anchor. The target cannot move so long as the spell is in effect. Earlier versions of this spell allowed movement, but channeled the damage throughout the participants that were chained.
    • Spell Nullification: Any paladin can break the spell so long as they correctly whisper the ancient word of honor.
  • Probability Manipulation: A Paladin may call upon a “Divine Intervention” from the Game Master to potentially alter the probability of an outcome. It is still random if the second outcome will be beneficial or detrimental to the Paladin and their allies.
  • Holy Light Healing: By using the spell “Holy Light,” Paladins can use their holy abilities to recover the wounds of others or themselves. Since this ability is holy in nature, if the spell is cast on another person, the effect is thoroughly increased from what it would be if the Paladin used it on themselves.
• Unholy Projectile Attack: Paladins carry around bottles of “Unholy Water” that can be thrown at a target. If the target is successfully hit, the Paladin can halt or otherwise persuade the target from harming the Paladin or their allies.
  • Persuasion: While coated in the Unholy Water, targets will listen to what a Paladin will say for them to do. However they can reject an idea such as harming someone on the targets side.
