Zealot (1617)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Focusing entirely on the offensive, Zealot enables the paladin to bolster their resolve and that of their party. The paladin and everyone in their group gains a +30 bonus to melee attack strength (AS). To make up for this offensive ability, the paladin and everyone in their group experiences a -30 defensive strength (DS) penalty. When Zealot is active, Divine Shield (1609) may not be cast. Additionally, if anyone leaves the paladin's group, they will lose the effect of the spell. Training in Spiritual Lore, Religion will increase the AS benefit and reduce the DS penalty. Using EVOKE will self-cast the spell without the group effect.
While under the effect of Zealot, characters are forced into offensive stance.
Zealot can be STOPped, allowing the character and anyone in the group to regain their defenses.

Messaging
| Cast | A surge of radiant energy coalesces around you and those nearby. Your spirit is empowered with an overwhelming sense of determination and resolve. Distant sounds of fifes and drums resound in the back of your mind, spurring you into a delirium of confidence and resolve -- as if compelled by some irresistible divine exhortation. |
