Description

Arm of the Arkati summons the spirits of past champions of his patron deity to guide and intensify the strikes of the Paladin's group in battle. It provides the Paladin and everyone in his group gains an increase of +10% to their weapon's Damage Factor (DF) for physical attacks (melee and thrown only). Note that this does not increase the DF of UCS attacks, regardless if a UCS compatible weapon is held.

Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning increases the DF bonus by +1% per seed 5 summation, starting from 1% at 5 lore ranks to a maximum bonus of +16% at 200 lore ranks.

With the increased bonus comes an increased Mana Point (MP) cost. The base MP cost is 5, +1 for every additional percentage above 10, +1 for each member of the group.

You swing a perfect steel spikestar at a lich qyn'arj!
  AS: +459 vs DS: +296 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +74 = +274
   ... and hit for 99 points of damage!
   Strike through both ears, foe is quite dead!
The lich qyn'arj spasms violently and suddenly goes still, its body turning to stone.
The very powerful look leaves a lich qyn'arj.
The white light leaves a lich qyn'arj.
The deep blue glow leaves a lich qyn'arj.
The dim aura fades from around a lich qyn'arj.
The powerful look leaves a lich qyn'arj.
