Patron's Blessing (1611)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With the spell Patron's Blessing, the paladin's patron Arkati bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin, allowing them to better attack with and defend against Combat Maneuvers.
Patron's Blessing increases the caster's effective Combat Maneuvers ranks for purposes of the Combat Maneuver List and Attack Strength (AS). The base is 10 Combat Maneuver ranks +0.75 for every Paladin spell rank beyond 11. The total Combat Maneuver bonus received between Patron's Blessing and the Paladin's actual Combat Maneuvers training can not surpass what the paladin would receive were they to be fully trained in Combat Maneuvers. The AS bonus, however, is uncapped.
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.
