Divine Champion (Paladin)Hit Die: d10
Class Skills:Skill Points per Level: 2 + Int modifier.
BAB: Full
Saves: Fort good, Ref poor, Will good.
- Code of Conduct:atonement spell.
- Antipaladins: As an alternate use of the atonement spell, an evil cleric may return a twisted version of an ex-paladin's power. An antipaladin's class features are identical to those of a paladin, but abilities which would affect evil creatures now affect good creatures and vice versa. An antipaladin does not have a code of conduct, but neither is he necessarily evil. The ex-paladin is aware that this version of the spell is being used, and cannot be tricked into accepting it.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Paladins are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields).
Aura of Good (Ex):detect good spell) is equal to his paladin level.
Detect Evil (Su): A paladin automatically learns if there is evil within 120 ft. As a swift action, he can focus on one target within range and determine whether or not it is evil, and the strength of its aura if it is.
Smite Evil (Su): Once per encounter as a swift action, a paladin may charge his next melee attack with holy power. He adds his Charisma modifier as a bonus on attack and damage. If the smite hits and the target is evil, it takes additional damage equal to the paladin's class level. At 5th level, and at every five levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per encounter, to a maximum of five times per encounter at 20th level.
Invocations (Sp): A paladin performs invocations taken from the paladin list. Unlike a warlock, a paladin's invocations do not have a somatic component, though they do have a divine focus component.
