Call of Duty – A Paladin’s Sourcebook: Chapter 4: New Magic bonus to attack rolls. It also causes all evil creatures within 30ft. to gain a –1 luck penalty to attack rolls. If a paladin within the area of effect successfully smites evil, they gain a +2 luck bonus to damage on the smite, the drums get louder, and the bonus and penalty to attack rolls granted by this spell is increased by 1, up to a maximum of +4/-4. The bard version of this spell is called drums of victory. Arcane Focus: A small drum. Mentor Conjuration (Calling) [Good] Level: Pal 2 Component: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 hour Range: 30ft. Effect: One summoned spirit (see text) Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No “I can’t do this alone.” You may summon the spirit of a long dead paladin to give you advice. The mentor is the spirit of a lawful good paladin of 10 th level or higher and must be summoned within sight. This ancient spirit can only be seen and heard by the caster, and is incorporeal. It cannot attack or be attacked, even by incorporeal creatures, and cannot move from the spot where it was summoned. The DM may have the same mentor appear each time the spell is cast, or a different one may respond. The mentor speaks all languages the caster speaks. The mentor can give advice that is similar to the effect of a phylactery of faithfulness, but also has the ability to impart advice on more general matters than religion and alignment. The DM should roleplay the mentor as an NPC with a Wisdom of 18 and Knowledge (religion) +10. It is suggested that the DM develop the personality of the mentor, and that it be different in some way from that of the caster. For example, a very serious paladin might gain a light-hearted mentor. The mentor answers any questions as best it can, but may instead choose to use its time to lecture the caster on some matter, ignoring any questions put to it. It usually takes one round to ask a question and one round for the mentor to answer. The mentor knows nothing of modern times or recent history, but much about paladins and their enemies, and has some knowledge of the paladin who summoned it, having watched the caster from the time the spell 56 was prepared to the time it was cast. Thus, it is often more useful to prepare this spell some time in advance of casting it, so that the mentor can learn more about you and your situation before granting advice. The mentor always answers truthfully, but may choose not to reply or may be incorrect. One Soul Abjuration Level: Pal 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: Special Mount touched Duration: 1 minute / level (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) “Partners? No, we are more than that.” You cannot prepare this spell unless you have a paladin’s special mount, and must be riding your special mount when casting it.
Add your special mount’s hit points to your hit point total. For the duration of the spell your mount has no hit points, and uses your total instead. Whenever you or your mount take damage, your hit point total is reduced. If your hit points are reduced to zero, you and your mount are both disabled. If your hit points are reduced to less than 0 hp, you and your mount are dying. If your hit points are reduced to -10 hp, both you and your mount are dead. Dismounting ends the spell immediately. Whenever the spell ends, you each get half of your current hit point total, rounded down, with any hit points over the normal maximum going to the other creature. This spell only affects normal hit point damage. Effects like poison or death spells function normally. For example, Sir Harus normally has 100 hp, and his warhorse, Bolt, has 50 hp. After casting one soul, Harus has 150 hit points. When Bolt suffers a critical hit for 39 points of damage, Sir Harus is reduced to 111 hp, the wound magically appearing on him, while Bolt remains unscathed. A fireball causes 15 points of fire damage to each of them, so Harus takes 15 points twice for 30 more points of damage, reducing him to 81 hp, while Bolt has no hit point total, but is feeling fine. Sir Harus lays on hands on himself for 36 hp, bringing him up to 117 hp. A few minutes later, Sir Harus dismounts and ends the spell. They each would get 58 hp, but Bolt only gets his maximum, 50, and Harus gets 66 hp. Even though Bolt took more damage than his maximum hit points, Harus ends up suffering the effects, but they both survived. Pious Strength Transmutation Level: Pal 3 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 hour / level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) “My faith grants me strength when I need it.” Your Strength ability score gains an enhancement bonus equal to +2 or equal to your current Wisdom bonus, whichever is greater. Call of Duty – A Paladin’s Sourcebook: Chapter 4: New Magic Paladin Spellcasting Paladins are divine warriors, not clerics. Their spells do not need to be worded as pious prayers, or unintelligible mumblings. Paladins stand for truth, and cast their spells loudly and plainly. A paladin with the patron deity of Thor casting holy sword on his war hammer might bellow, “By the Hammer of Thor!!” while banging his hammer against his shield. A paladin might use a commanding tone of conversation for spells not used in battle. A paladin slowly waving one hand and saying “Your words will be as a sword, true and sharp.” might be casting discern lies. This does not disguise the spellcasting; anyone watching will notice the raising of the paladin’s voice and the concentration. It simply adds style. Try making up phrases that fit your character’s style and beliefs, and use them consistently. Before long, everyone will know that when your paladin cries “Celestial hosts, grant me your might!!”, you’re actually casting divine favor, and that “Damn the darkness! Charge on!!” means you are casting bless. Rally Evocation Level: Pal 4 Components: V, XP (see text) Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60ft. Target: You and all allies Duration: See text Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) “We. are. Not. FINISHED.” You and all allies within 60ft. are affected by the following spells, as if cast by you: bless, cure light wounds, divine favor, remove fear, and remove paralysis. The bless and divine favor last for one minute, the other spells are instantaneous. XP Cost: 250XP Shadow Bane Abjuration Level: Pal 3 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: Personal Effect: see text Duration: 1 round/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No “I walk proudly with no regard for the shadows.” While this spell is in effect, whenever you are attacked by a sneak attack in melee, the attacker provokes an attack of opportunity from you, even if you are flat-footed. Shield Flash Evocation Level: Pal 3 Components: V, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60ft. Target: Evil creatures Duration: Instantaneous, see text Saving Throw: Reflex negates Spell Resistance: Yes “Those with dark hearts cannot bear the light.” This spell causes a cone of holy light to shine momentarily from your shield. This light blinds any evil creatures failing a Reflex saving throw to avert their eyes. The blindness lasts for 1d4 rounds. 57
