The Paladin glows brightly as he becomes the sanctioned target of his foes. All creatures and non-grouped characters in the area are subject to a [[warding]] roll and if they fail, will only target the Paladin and not other characters when attacking. The Paladin also will ignore [[MOC|Force on Force]] mechanics for at least one additional target, the number of targets increasing based on [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]. |
|||
At first sight, this spell may seem undesirable since, all other things being equal, any character would rather ''not'' be attacked, whereas this spell, when successful, causes all the creatures failing the warding to ''only'' attack the caster. However, it may be thought of as an offensive version of something like [[Mass Calm (619)]] or [[Minor Sanctuary (213)]] for all the ''other'' characters in the area. A paladin's friends might be incapacitated or otherwise likely to suffer serious damage from further attacks, which this spell can prevent. |

Tactical Considerations
Beacon of Courage may be used as a protective effect for all other characters in the area. A paladin's friends might be incapacitated or otherwise likely to suffer serious damage from further attacks, which this spell can prevent.
It should work on bandits, grimswarm, and for the most part, any other creature. There may be some edge cases where it doesn't work on certain creatures or with certain maneuvers, but they should be rare.
Messaging
This spell has different messaging based on the caster's deity.
