The spell Divine Shield provides a protective celestial barrier around a paladin and the paladin's group, increasing the chance to block incoming blows. This requires using a shield.

The chance to block has a base of 10%. Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases this chance 11% at 3 ranks, to a maximum of 27% at 187 ranks. Block chance is also modified by the attacker's level. Any group member that leaves the paladin's group will lose the effect of the spell.

When Divine Shield is active, Zealot (1617) cannot be cast.

Lore bonus

Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings increases this chance to 11% at 3 ranks, to a maximum of 27% at 187 ranks.

Spiritual Lore, Blessings bonus thresholds: 3, 7, 12, 18, 25, 33, 42, 52, 63, 75, 88, 102, 117, 133, 150, 168, and 187 ranks
