Call of Duty – A Paladin’s Sourcebook: Chapter 1: Classes and Feats Special Mount (Su): Upon reaching 4 th level or higher, you can call a special mount. This ability is the same as the core paladin’s ability (see the Player’s Handbook, Chapter 3: Classes, Paladin). Instead of calling a special mount, you may instead choose to be able to use your smite evil ability an additional time per day. You can change your mind later and give up the second use of smite evil to call your special mount when you need it. Constant Heart (Su): Your dedication to the Code is faultless and the divine truly favor you. Once per day, whenever you fail a saving throw, you may reroll the result. Ex-Paladins: Prestige paladins who are no longer lawful good, who willfully commit an evil act, or who grossly violate the code of conduct suffer the same fate as ex-paladins. They lose all special abilities and spells, and may no longer progress as paladins. They may atone for their actions with the atonement spell as appropriate. Prestige paladins who become ex-paladins are treated the same as core ex-paladins for taking classes such as the blackguard. Ex-blackguards who become paladins do not gain any special powers. The powers of law and good are most reluctant to recruit such characters, as it is easy to fall from grace, yet difficult to redeem oneself. Sample NPC “Stand your ground.

Lord Lairden is the archetypical heroic knight and might be considered the iconic prestige paladin. He is famous for his long mustaches and highly polished gear. Personality: Lord Lairden is extremely polite and cultured. He is generous to the poor, respectful of authority, surprisingly tolerant of the beliefs of others, yet unmerciful to evil. He roams the land protecting the innocent from evil while upholding the virtues of honor, chivalry, and compassionate justice.
Archon “Everyone is guilty of something. Even I will face judgment eventually.” The archon (AR kon) is a traveling judge and executioner of justice. Archons are called, much like a paladin, by a lawful neutral deity or by the philosophy of justice itself to bring order to the borderlands of wilderness and civilized areas. They also sometimes frequent cities with high crime rates, but rarely stay in the same place for long. Governments usually welcome archons as additional enforcers of the law, but sometimes regard them as vigilantes. Archons regard laws that promote chaotic behavior as illegitimate, and ignore them. Therefore, they ignore any laws prohibiting their own vigilante activities, or any law that unduly restricts their behavior. They follow the laws of mortals, but only when such laws do not conflict with the higher laws set by those forces who called them into service. Regardless of any support or endorsement given to them by the local government, most people are uncomfortable around archons, particularly those with an active aura of truth. Archons tend to be suspicious and disapproving of everyone, and are generally not very pleasant. Good and evil are concepts that may or may not be important to the archon. Paladins who become Lvl Base Attack Bonus Fort Save Ref Save Will Save Call of Duty – A Paladin’s Sourcebook: Chapter 1: Classes and Feats archons tend to have a lawful neutral tilt (see Chapter 2), but are still good. They believe laws are needed to promote benevolent behavior. Lawful evil archons tend to believe that law and order are needed to give power to those who deserve it, and may include blackguards in their ranks (again, with a lawful neutral tilt). Most archons are lawful neutral, however, and try to be as impartial as possible. Archons can be of any race, but humans and dwarves are the most common. Rangers most commonly take the class, but fighters, paladins, and monks sometimes do so as well. A particularly lawful cleric sometimes takes the class, and can be a frightening enforcer of the law.
