Patron's Blessing bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin by its patron Arkati, allowing them to better attack with and defend against Combat Maneuvers and standard maneuver rolls.

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.

Lore Benefits

Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides an additional bonus of +1 Combat Maneuver rank at 3 Blessings Lore ranks, to a maximum of +17 Combat Maneuver ranks at 187 Blessings Lore ranks.
