Revision as of 19:53, 17 January 2021
Defense of the Faithful bolsters weaknesses in the paladin's armor, granting +20 enhancive ranks of Armor Use.
Recasting this also grants a 60 second Beacon of Courage effect that will redirect attacks made on the paladin's party members to the paladin. Any creature attacking a party member while this effect is active will be subject to hidden warding rolls and failing will redirect attacks for as long as the Beacon of Courage effect lasts. The effect also allows the Paladin to ignore Force on Force mechanics for at least one additional target, the number of targets increasing based on Spiritual Lore, Blessings.
Lore Benefits
Spiritual Lore, Blessings nullifies an additional target's Force on Force effect for every seed 10 summation ranks while under the Beacon of Courage effect.
|
Tactical Considerations
The Beacon of Courage effect serves as a passive taunt to protect 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.
