The Combat Maneuvers bonus scales up to 100 Paladin Spell Ranks. There are two benefits: |

The total Combat Maneuver bonus received by Patron's Blessing cannot surpass what the paladin would receive were they to already have an equivalent of 2x training in Combat Maneuvers, regardless of whether the source is training, enhancive items, ascension skill, etc. The Attack Strength bonus, however, is uncapped. |

* AS derived from the bonus combat maneuvers. This is not capped the same way that the next benefit is capped. |
|||
With the increase in effective Combat Maneuver ranks, there is also an increase in [[mana]] cost. The base mana cost is 11, +1 for every 3 Combat Maneuver ranks above the initial 10. |

* Combat Maneuver calculations that do not directly use AS, such as CMAN skills, will not provide benefits beyond 2x training. |

Patron's Blessing bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin, increasing effective Combat Maneuvers ranks for purposes of the Combat Maneuver List (CML), SMR Defense, and Attack Strength (AS). The caster's effective Combat Maneuvers rank is increased by +10, with an additional +0.75 for every Paladin spell rank beyond 11.
The Combat Maneuvers bonus scales up to 100 Paladin Spell Ranks. There are two benefits:
- AS derived from the bonus combat maneuvers. This is not capped the same way that the next benefit is capped.
- Combat Maneuver calculations that do not directly use AS, such as CMAN skills, will not provide benefits beyond 2x training.
Lore Benefits
Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides an additional bonus of +1 Combat Maneuver rank at 3 Blessings Lore ranks, to a maximum of +17 Combat Maneuver ranks at 187 Blessings Lore ranks, on a seed 3 summation. This benefit is still subject to the 2x CM skill cap for the spell on CML/SMR (but not AS).
