Menace sur le Royaume de Diamant Éternel

Introduction

Menace sur le royaume de Diamant Éternel adds two new paladin kits: the Diamond Knight and the Unicorn Rider.

I strongly recommend that you DO NOT select them when you generate your character in order to benefit from all the elements of the scenario: CHARNAME will be able to choose one of these specializations in the course of the adventure. Moreover, they have been specially designed to fit the universe of the Eternal Diamond Kingdom and match its mythology. Also, remember that their abilities will only be really useful during the campaign and may be a handicap during most of the SoA game.

However, if you absolutely want to play them from the beginning of your game, both provide a special quest in SoA that will be integrated in the final campaign.

At last, those kits may benefit from a special mount (a steed for the Knight and a unicorn for the Rider), whose name you will be able to define in installation process.

Description

Unicorn Riders are women who have forsworn the love of mortals to dedicate themselves entirely to the unicorn deity Lurue, thus fostering a close bond with unicorns. They normally come from the ranks of exalted rangers or druids, although there have been paladins and even fighters who have chosen this path. Most of Riders are humans, elves, and half-elves, but halflings, gnomes, and dwarves are not prohibited.

There are two ways for a paladin to become a Rider. The first occurs very rarely: having noticed her bravery, her righteousness and her behavior, Lurue comes to haunt the dreams of the fortunate chosen woman who, on waking up, finds a protective medallion on her heart. The latter will summon forth a unicorn that will serve her as a destrier and will fight at her side as long as she serves the right causes.

But, throughout her adventures, the paladine may also help a unicorn and even save it. Both the paladin and the unicorn may then decide to share their destinies. The ritual takes places in a forest chosen by the Elders and lasts for about a week, during which they get to know each other.

In any case, the relationship between the Rider and the unicorn can not be created if another strong relationship already binds one of them. The Rider must not have a familiar or paladin horse, and if she has had any, she must have been separated from it for at least one season (three months). As well, a unicorn must not have served another Rider, and if it has already done, their separation must be at least one season old. The Rider has a closer emotional bond to her mount than she does with her own family members. Just as she relies on the unicorn, the unicorn relies on her to help keep its mysteries safe.

Since unicorns have devoted their lives to protecting their forests and their intelligent creatures, the Rider retreats to the woods and maintains few contacts with the outside world. Because of the solitary existence she must endure, it is rare (but not unheard of) for a Rider to join ranks with other adventurers, but she may leave her forest sanctuary should she be needed to fight evil. In such event, she prefers the companionship of paladins but can associate with any good characters when necessary. Under no circumstances will one Rider agree to join with evil beings, and she barely tolerates neutral characters, unless they are druids.

All Riders must be chaste and must dedicate themselves wholly both to good and their unicorn companions. Should a Rider ever willingly couple with a mortal, the unicorn leaves her company without hard feelings or regret. At last, it is easy to recognize a Rider with its immaculate white outfits and its long and free hair that quickly turn white or silvery.

PRE-REQUISITES:

Only women may become Unicorn Riders.
Requires at least 16 Dexterity, 15 Wisdom and 17 Charisma.

May not place any slots in Two-Weapon Style.
May not wear any metal armor (except elven chain mails) and equip large shields.

List of special abilities gained by a Unicorn Rider when leveling up.

Level	Ability	Description
1		Can speak Sylvan language.
		Immune to disease.
		Immune to charm and gains a +2 bonus to Saving Throw vs. Death.

	Detect Evil	May Detect Evil once per day per level.
	Protection fron Evil	May cast this ability once per day per level.
	Wild Empathy	Once per day, she can charm an animal like a ranger. This ability affects any single animal it is cast upon. The animal is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect (with a -4 penalty plus an extra -1 for every 10 levels). If it fails its Saving Throw, it regards the Rider as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. For 5 rounds per level, the Rider may give it orders, and the charmed animal will carry them out as quickly as possible. If she harms—or attempts to harm—the charmed animal by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic spell is cast upon the charmed animal, the Charm spell is broken. Note that the animal has full memory of the events that took place while it was charmed.
	Holy Radiance	As she cannot turn undead, she may empower once per day the radiance surrounding her into a blazing glow that sheds bright light in a 10-ft. radius to smite them. Undead within 10 feet of her take 1d4 points of damage, +1 for every two levels, per round they remain within her halo.

This means it can cross or stand above non-solid or unstable surfaces that would not support its weight. Thus it leaves no tracks (neither footprints nor scent) on any sort of ground, may not set off pressure traps, is immune to anything that might affect its movement, such as spider webs, Grease and Entangle spells.

12	Long Strider	Moves 1 point faster than other characters.
20	Rider Might	Once per day, she can call upon Lurue to grant her power for a short period. Thus her Strength, Constitution, Dexterity and Charisma are all raised by 5, and she gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class. In addition, she gains a special bonus of 1 temporary Hit Point per level. Finally, she is immune to magic sleep and paralysis effects. The effects last for the duration (1 round per level) or until dispelled.

	Agility of a Pegasus	Gains an additional use of this ability.

Undead: 1d6 point of damage per level, +1 per level, up to a maximum of 20d6+20. Save at -4 penalty to avoid being blinded. Extraplanar: 1d8 point of damage per level, up to a maximum of 15d8. Demons: 1d6 point of damage per level, up to a maximum of 20d6. Dragons: 1d8 point of damage per level, up to a maximum of 20d8.
30	Regenerate Circle	Once per day, she can invoke a Regenerate Circle that grants her allies ability to regenerate at the rate of 3 Hit Points per round.
31	Agility of a Pegasus	Gains an additional use of this ability.

42	Long Strider	Movement rate increased by 1.

« Two are one »

When the Rider becomes a « Lurue's Beloved » (sometimes called « Lurue's Sister »), she shares a strong telepathic bond with her unicorn as long as they stay within a mile radius area. This bond grants them many advantages, especially during a battle when they act as if they were one unique creature:

Level	Ability	Description
11	Dodge	The Rider and the unicorn gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
13	Immune to poison	The Rider is immune to poison if she is bonded to a unicorn.
14	Improved Initiative	The Rider and the unicorn gain a -1 bonus to Speed Factor.
15	Tracking	By dint of living with a unicorn, the Rider has developed the rangers tracking ability. However, as the knowledge of her surroundings and the creatures that live within them is less sharpened than rangers cognition, there is only a 2% chances per niveau to find out what creatures are in an area.
16		The Rider and the unicorn gain a +2 bonus to melee damage rolls.
17	Neutralize Poison	The Rider gains an additional use of this ability if she is bonded to a unicorn.
18	Enhanced Dodge	The Rider and the unicorn gain an additional +1 bonus to Armor Class.
24	Neutralize Poison	The Rider gains an additional use of this ability if she is bonded to a unicorn.
25	Unearthly Beauty	Meeting a paladin riding a unicorn is not commonplace and remains forever an unforgettable sight, an not only for those who admirer her... The Rider can use a variant of the 7th-level druidic spell Nature"s Beauty once per day. With this ability, the Rider appears to undergo a remarkable transformation and becomes the very ideal of beauty: For a male, this is usually a nymph; for a female, it varies. As with a nymph, all humanoids who look directly at her must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or die of longing for the denied illusion. They suffer a Saving Throw penalty depending on their Hit Dice: if they have at least the same level as the Rider, they get a penalty of -1 increased by 1 every 10 levels of the Rider. If they have 5 Hit Dice less than her, they are automatically killed. Otherwise, they get a penalty of -4 increased by 1 every five levels of the Rider. Even if the Saving Throw is successful, they are all instantly smitten with permanent blindness (until dispelled). The transformation is instantaneous, but lasts only seconds, affecting those within 60 feet of her (excluding fellow party members). According to the legend, the Rider must abstain from sexual intercourse for one month before casting this spell, mais nobody has ever dared to check...
30	Improved Dodge	The Rider and the unicorn gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class.
	Living Prints	The Rider enhances her Tracking ability, and she can now perceive without any penalty tracks of the creatures that live within the area as if they have just been made, disregarding damage due to the passage of time or any rainfall since the making of the trail.

High Level Abilities (HLA)

List of High Level Abilities a Unicorn Rider may gain.

Ability	Description	min Level	Nb max
Whirlwind Attack	This ability allows the Unicorn Rider to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. It sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round.	14
Greater Whirlwind Attack	Requires: Whirlwind Attack A more powerful version of the Whirlwind Attack, Greater Whirlwind gives the warrior the same bonuses without penalties. Their number of attacks per round are set to 10 for one round.	15	5
Martial Blow	Requires: Greater Whirlwind Attack A high-level paladin manages to perceive weak points in his/her opponent's armor and to concentrate all of the attacks in one round to strike a vital area every time. With this ability, every attack roll made in the next round is a natural 20, a critical hit. However, this ability requires such an effort of concentration the paladin can only use it once a day.	16	1
Graceful Assault	As she cannot wear plate mails, the Unicorn Rider has developed her instinctive feel for the flow of combat to favor grace and finesse to recourse as much to her Strength and Dexterity as to the keen understanding of her opponent's combat capabilities and moves. During the next 4 rounds, she gains a +1 bonus, plus 1 for every 10 experience level, to Class Armor, to hit and damage rolls as well as an extra attack per round and a -2 initiative bonus.	14	5
Defensive Agility	Once per day, a high-level Rider can exploit the strength of the telepathic bond that links her to her unicorn to take advantage of the unicorn's teleportation ability. During the next five rounds, this ability enhances her natural sense of preservation in battle by granting her a +2 bonus to Class Armor (plus 1 for every 10 experience levels, up to a maximum of +6) and an extra +4 bonus against missile weapons. In addition, it increases her movement rate by 2, and normal missiles have no chance of striking her. However, the Rider cannot deflect unusually massive ranged weapons, such as boulders hurled by giants, and ranged attacks generated by spell effects, such as Melf's Acid Arrow.	14	2
Accuracy Shot	As an elite archer, the Rider can briefly focus her mind in making almost any shot perfect, no matter how difficult. During the next two rounds, she sharpens her perceptions for devastating ranged attacks and gains a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls with any missile weapon every 5 levels (starting at 15th level). In return, she suffers an equal penalty to hit and damage rolls with any melee weapon.	14	5
Spellslayer Arrow	The Rider can shoot particularly effective blows against spell casters. During the next two rounds, any arrow she fires removes the magical enchantments that its target is surrounded by. In addition, any spell caster hit has 20% + 1% per Rider's level chance to be affected with spellcasting failure.	14	2
Arrowsplit	The Rider can shoot particularly deadly blows. During the next three rounds, the arrows she fires split in mid-flight into 1d4+1 identical arrows before striking the same target.	14	5
Darkflame Arrow	The Rider engulfs an arrow's head in black fire. The arrow strikes as a +1 weapon, deals normal damage and wreaths the target in black flames that deal an extra 2d6 points of damage. The black flames continue to engulf the victim for 2 more rounds, dealing 2d6 points of damage each subsequent round, and they cannot be extinguished (although they can be dispelled). The arrow must be fired during the four next rounds, or the magic dissipates and the arrow is lost.	14	5
Cleansing Arrow	The Rider magically enhances an arrow as to burst into flames as it is fired. The arrow strikes as a +3 weapon, deals normal damage, and explodes upon impact into a ball of fire dealing 4d6 points of fire damage affecting only ennemies within the area unless they roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell (with a -4 penalty) for half damage. The arrow must be fired during the next five rounds, or it is lost.	14	2
Bloodfreeze Arrow	The Rider magically enhances an arrow as to transform its head into blue ice. The arrow strikes as a +3 weapon and deals normal damage. In addition, when the arrow strikes its target, a shock of cold will travel through its body, both burning and numbing to the very core, dealing an extra 2d6 points of cold damage an paralyzing it for 4 rounds if fails a Saving Throw vs. Spell (with a -4 penalty). The arrow must be fired during the next five rounds, or it is lost.	14	2
Wings of a Zephyr	The Rider calls upon a special favor from Lurue to improve her unicorn's combat skills. The creature functions at double its normal movement rate -as it would wear Horseshoes of a Zephyr- and attack rate, gains a -2 initiative bonus and a +2 bonus to its to hit and damage rolls. Spellcasting and spell effects are not affected. In addition, the unicorn seems to move floating 4 inches above the ground. This means it can cross or stand above non-solid or unstable surfaces that would not support its weight and that of its rider. Thus it leaves no tracks (neither footprints nor scent) on any sort of ground, may not set off pressure traps, is immune to anything that might affect its movement, such as spider webs, Grease and Entangle spells. Finally, from long range, this visual effect misleads its opponents who will have trouble targeting it with ranged weapons (+5 bonus to AC vs. missile attacks). This ability also negates the effects of a Slow spell and is not cumulative with itself or with other similar magic. The effects last for their duration (1 round per level) or until dispelled.	15
Barding of Light	The Rider conjures forth a magical field of force that envelops her unicorn in a protective, shimmering aura of light. The luminous armor resembles a suit of dazzling Plate barding (AC 1), cumulative with Dexterity bonuses to Armor Class, but it is weightless and does not restrict movement or mobility in any way. It is weightless, cumulative with Dexterity bonuses to Armor Class, adds no encumbrance, and does not hinder movement. Nor does it prevent the unicorn from spellcasting. In addition, the armor's brightness causes opponents to take a -4 penalty on melee attacks made against the unicorn. It lasts until successfully dispelled or until the duration expires (1 turn + 1 round per level). The exact nature of the barding depends on the Rider level: a Field plate (AC 0) at 30th level and a Full plate barding (AC -1) at 40th level. Furthermore, if her unicorn already equips a barding, the Rider may use a variant of this ability that grants her unicorn a bonus to Armor Class: +6 for a Plate mail, +7 for a Field plate and +8 for a Full plate. But in return, the Rider must sacrifice temporarily 1d2 points of Strength for the duration of the ability (1d3 for a Full plate barding of light).	18
Spiritual Rider	The Unicorn Rider summons forth the soul of an heroin to come to her assistance. A rider of pure force, bearing the symbol of Lurue, springs into being and immediately obeys and serves her until she is slain or until the spell duration expires (4 rounds + 1 round per level). The Spiritual Rider has the same level as the Unicorn Rider who summoned her, attacks with a +2 bonus to hit rolls and deals 2d8 points of damage, +1 for every 5 levels of the Rider (up to a maximum of 10 at 50th level). Starting at 30th level, there is a 40% chance (+ 2% per each extra level of the Rider) that the Spiritual Rider appears either with his trusty steed; or with a unicorn.	20	1
Spiritual Cavalry	Requires: Spiritual Rider This ability is similar to Spiritual Rider, except that a Spiritual Rider is summoned for every 10 levels of the Unicorn Rider, starting à 25th level (up to a maximum of 3 at 45th level). The Spiritual Rider has the same level as the Unicorn Rider who summoned her, attacks with a +2 bonus to hit rolls and deals 2d8 points of damage, +1 for every 5 levels of the Rider (up to a maximum of 10 at 50th level). Tous les cinq niveaux intermédiaires, la cavalière apparaît accompagnée soit de son fidèle destrier, soit d'une licorne.	25	1
Lurue's Holy Smite	The Rider calls upon the strength of Lurue in order to open a channel between the Positive Energy Plane and the enemies she wants to smite. Any evil creatures that are caught in the area of effect suffer damage depending on their nature. Victims are allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell (with a -2 penalty) for half damage. If they fail their Saving Throw, they are also blinded for 1d4 rounds. Other creatures don't suffer any damage. When casting this ability, the Rider can decide to inflict non-lethal damages instead of lethal ones. - Humanoids and monsters: 1d6 point of damage per level, +1 per level, up to a maximum of 10d6+10. - Undead: 1d6 point of damage per level, +1 per level, up to a maximum of 20d6+20.

Mass Cure Light Wounds	The Rider must picture the faces of her fellow party members clearly and focus on the unity of the group. Upon completion, all party members within a 15-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the caster are healed 1d8 Hit Points + 1 per caster level (up to a maximum of +25). Curing is permanent only insofar as the creatures do not sustain further damage; caused wounds will heal -or can be cured- just as any normal injury. The spell does not affect creatures without corporeal bodies or of extraplanar origin. Since undead are powered by negative energy and the caster channels positive energy to cure, this spell deals damage to undead creatures in its area rather than curing them. Each affected undead may apply magic resistance, and roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell to halve damage.	17	5

	Bless Water	Alteration	Protection, Creation	9	Touch	Flask of water touched	Instant	None	None
The Rider imbues a flask (1 pint) of water with positive energy, turning it into holy water. Holy water damages undead creatures and evil outsiders almost as if it were acid.

A direct hit by a flask of holy water deals 2d4 points of damage + 1 point per level of the priest who created it (up to a maximum of 2d4 + 10) to an undead creature or an evil outsider. Each such creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 2 points of damage from the splash. Thus incorporeal creatures are immune to these effets.

The Rider calls upon the strength and wisdom of Lurue to raise the morale of friendly creatures, granting them a +1 bonus to hit and saving throw rolls for every 5 levels of the caster (up to a maximum of 6). She determines at what range the spell will be cast. At the instant the spell is completed, it affects all creatures in a 15-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the paladin (thus, affected creatures leaving the area are still subject to the spell's effects; those entering the area after the casting is completed are not). The spell lasts for 6 rounds.
	Hawkeye	Divination	Divination, Combat	2	0	The caster	5 rounds + 1 round/level	None	None

An affected undead creature may apply magic resistance, and roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell to halve damage.
	Protection from Winged Flyers	Abjuration	Protection	1	Touch	1 creature	1 round/level	None	None
This spell is similar to the Protection from Evil spell, except that the bonuses apply to attacks from creatures that have wings and fly.

Material Component: A small parchment with a bit of holy text written upon it.
	Zone of Natural Purity	Evocation	Combat, Nature	5	Visual range of the caster	30-ft. radius	1 round/level	None	Special

This bonus increases by 1 point for every 10 levels of the Rider. Multiple Zones of Natural Purity are not cumulative.

L22nd Level spells

Starting at 11th level, a Unicorn Rider may cast the following 2d level divine spells.

Icon	Spell	School	Sphere	Casting	Range	Target	Duration	TS	MR
	Alicorn Lance	Invocation	Combat, Animal	5	Visual range of the caster	1 Creature	Special	1/2	None
Granted by the goddess Lurue, the Unicorn Queen, this spell creates a silver-hued, partially ethereal lance shaped in the form of an alicorn (the proper name for a unicorn horn) that hovers above the Rider for 1 round per level of the paladin. Any time before the spell expires, the Rider can chose a target and the alicorn lance instantaneously fires at it, inflicting 3d6 points of piercing damage. It never misses, but the target can halve damage by rolling a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -1 penalty for every enchantment bonus of the lance. For the purpose of the types of creatures it can hit, the lance strikes as a +1 magical lance and gains a +1 bonus at levels 15, 19, 23 and 27. After striking, the alicorn lance dissipates into nothingness, leaving only a silvery faerie fire radiance outlining the target for 1d4 rounds, making it easier to see and hit. It can not become invisible again and suffers a -2 penalty to its Armor Class. Composante matérielle : The Rider's holy symbol and a lock of unicorn mane.
	Bear's Endurance	Alteration	Combat, Animal	3	Touch	Creature touched	1 round/level	None	None
This spell grants greater vitality and stamina by increasing the recipient's Constitution by 4 points, with additional bonuses based on Constitution (such as Hit Points). The effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.
	Bull's Strength	Alteration	Combat, Animal	3	Touch	Creature touched	1 round/level	None	None
This spell increases the recipient's Strength by 4 points, with additional bonuses to hit and damage rolls. The effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.
	Cat's Grace	Alteration	Animal	3	Touch	Creature touched	1 round/level	None	None
This spell makes a creature more graceful, agile, and coordinated by increasing the recipient's Dexterity by 4 points, with additional bonuses based on Dexterity (such as CA...). The effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled.
	Elation	Enchantment/Charm	Combat, Charm	9	0	Allies in a 80-ft. radius	1 round/level	None	None
It's not every day that one fights alongside a unicorn! With this spell, the Rider's allies become elated, full of energy and joy. They gain a +2 bonus de 2 to Strength and Dexterity, and their speed increases by 5 feet.
	Gargantua's Stew	Invocation	Creation, Combat, Healing	9	0	Pot with healing stew (1 serving/2 levels)	Special	Special	Special
The caster calls upon Gargantua spirit to fill a specially crafted stew-pot with his potent healing stew. The caster must be hold the pot in hand when Gargantua's Stew is cast; otherwise, the spell fails and is wasted. The spell creates one serving every two caster levels (up to a maximum of 6). A single serving heals 1d6+1 points of damage. Any portion of the stew that is not consumed disappears after 1 hour. The stew can also be thrown to a single undead creature within 10 feet. If the caster makes a successful range attack, the stew-pot bursts into small fire balls, dealing 1d6+1 points of fire damage per every serving to all undead within a 20-ft. radius, unless they make a Saving Throw vs. Spell for half damage. Note that the damage do not bypass the targets' Magic Resistance, if any. Note: if the Food Management component of the mod Menace sur le Royaume de Diamant Éternel is installed, eating a serving matches a 8 hours water and food consumption. Focus: An engraved stew-pot worth at least 50 gp.
	Hold Animal	Enchantment/Charm	Animal	3	Visual range of the caster	4-ft. radius	2 rounds/level	Neg.	Yes
This spell is similar to Hold Person, except that it holds animals rigidly immobile and in place. Only normal - and giant-sized animals are affected; monsters such as wyverns, ankhegs, and carrion crawlers do not count as animals. The telepathic bond that links the Rider to her unicorn is so sharpened that it makes this spell much more powerful the druidic spell: the targets must roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -4 penalty, plus an extra -1 for every 10 levels of the Rider, to avoid being held The effect is centered on the victim selected by the Rider. Every enemy within 4 ft. of the target is also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subjects' condition due to wounds, disease, or poison.
	Hold Person	Enchantment/Charm	Charm	5	Visual range of the caster	4-ft. radius	1 turn	Neg.	oui
This spell holds one or more humans, demihumans, or humanoid creatures rigidly immobile and in place for one turn. This includes: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level Fighter could be held, while an ogre could not. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster. Every enemy within 4 ft. of the target is also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Undead creatures cannot be held. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them even though they are helpless to change them. Time passes at a normal rate for the targets and hence being held does not stop any worsening of their condition due to wounds, disease, or poison.
	Hydrate	Invocation	Healing	7	Touch	Creature touched	Instant	Special	Special
This spell creates moisture within the body of a living creature, healing damage from dehydration. Hydrate heals 2d8 points +1 point per caster level (up to a maximum of 2d8+10) of dessication damage, removes all nonlethal damage from dehydration, and clears up any lingering effects of the dehydrated condition. When cast upon a creature of the fire subtype, it deals damage instead of healing. Such a creature can roll a Saving Throw vs. Spell to halve damage. Note: if the Food Management component of the mod Menace sur le Royaume de Diamant Éternel is installed, these effects match a 8 hours water consumption.
	Know Alignment	Divination	Divination	9	30 ft.	1 creature	Instant	Neg.	oui
This spell enables the paladin to exactly read the aura of a creature. The caster must remain stationary and concentrate on the subject for a full round. If the creature rolls a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell, the paladin learns nothing about that particular creature from the casting. When a character is hit by this spell, it will glow red if evil, gold if good, and blue if neutral. Unlike priests, with leveling up, the paladin has developed a kind of sixth sense that allows him/her to better read the aura of creatures who suffer a -2 penalty to their Saving Throw with an additional penalty of -1 for every ten levels of the paladin. However, certain magical devices negate the power of the Know Alignment spell.
	Protection from Charm	Abjuration	Protection, Charm	5	40 ft.	Special	Special	None	None
This spell renders a single creature immune to charms and lasts or the duration (2 rounds per level) or until dispelled. However, starting at 15th level, il affects all allies within a 30-th. radius around the target, who gain 20% magic resistance + 2% per level of the caster (up to a maximum of 90 %) to charm effects for one round per caster level. Material Component: A piece or hair or other part from the body of a creature with an innate charm or dominate person ability, such as a succubus or vampire.
	Resist Energy	Abjuration	Protection, Elemental	5	Touch	Creature touched	3 rounds + 1 round/level	None	None
This spell confers a limited protection from damage of whichever one of five energy types the caster selects: acid, cold, electricity, fire or poison. The recipient gains 10% resistance against the energy type chosen, increased by 1% per level. This spell absorbs only damage, whether magical or non magical, and does not protect from unfortunate side effects, such as drowning in acid (since drowning damage comes from lack of oxygen) or becoming encased in ice. Note: Resist Energy does not stack with other spells that protect from the same energy type. However, a character may be simultaneously under the effect of Resist Energy (fire) and Protection from Energy (electricity), or any other two such spells that protect against different types of energy.
	Rider Chant	Conjuration	Combat	9	0	30-ft. radius	1 round/level	None	Special
It's not every day that one fights alongside a unicorn! By means of the this spell, the Rider takes advantage of this moment of pure exaltation to bring a special favor from her deity upon herself and her party and causes harm to her enemies. When the Chant spell is completed, all the paladin's allies within the area of effect gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, minimum damage/healing rolls, and Saving Throws. The paladin's enemies suffer the opposite effects. This bonus increases by 1 point for every 10 levels of the Rider. Multiple chants are not cumulative.
	Rock Shield	Alteration	Numerous	3	Touch	Creature touched	1 round/level	None	None
This spell creates a faintly shimmering magical sphere-like barrier around the recipient. The barrier moves with the recipient and prevents any natural hurled rocky missiles of all types (including boulders, catapult and ballista ammunition) from penetrating the sphere: they automatically bounce off the sphere. The recipient can perform any range attack out of the magical sphere without affecting the globe. Note that this spell does not protect from manufactured projectiles (arrows, bolts, daggers...) or projectiles created by spells (Melf's Acid Arrow, Flame Arrow...).
	Silence, 15' Radius	Alteration	Guardian	5	Visual range of the caster	15-ft. radius sphere	2 rounds/level	Neg.	Yes
Upon casting this spell, complete silence prevails in the affected area. All sound is stopped: Conversation is impossible and spells cannot be cast. Each creature in the area must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -5 penalty; if the save is failed then they are silenced for the duration of the spell. Note that this spell does not continue to affect the area after being cast; only those in the area at the time of the casting are affected by the silence.
	Slayer Blade	Alteration	Combat, Good	5	0	Weapon touched	1 round/level	none	none
This spell allows the paladin to make a single bladed weapon (any slashing weapon) deadly to a particular evil foe, whose race he/she chooses when he/she casts the spell. The blade gains a +2 bonus to hit and deals extra 2d6 points of damage against those créatures. The type of foes vary depending on the paladin level. Material Component: une goutte de sang et 500 po de poussière de rubis.
	Sun Bolt	Evocation	Light	3	Visual range of the caster	Ray	Instant	Special	Yes
A ray of incandescent sunlight darts forth from the caster's fingertip and unerringly strikes its target. A creature struck by the bolt suffers 1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the caster (up to a maximum of 10d6) and must save vs. Spell (with a -4 penalty) or be blinded for 1 round. Creatures vulnerable to lumière du jour sunlight take double damage. Undead always take double damage, as do fungi, molds, oozes, and slimes. Undead damaged by sunlight (such as vampires) always take triple damage.

L33rd Level spells

Starting at 13th level, a Unicorn Rider may cast the following 3rd level divine spells.

Icon	Spell	School	Sphere	Casting	Range	Target	Duration	TS	MR
	Cure Disease	Abjuration	Necromantic	1	Touch	1 creature	Permanent	None	None
By laying her hands upon a sickly person, the Rider can cure almost any disease with this spell. The cure is permanent, but does not grant the recipient of the spell immunity from further afflictions. Blindness, deafness, and feeblemind are also cured with this spell. Some magically created diseases may not be curable by this spell.
	Dispel Magic	Abjuration	Protection	6	Visual range of the caster	15-ft. radius	Instant	None	None
This spell removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the Dispel Magic is above the original caster, his/her chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Dispel Magic is below the original caster, his/her chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 5% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic he/she is trying to dispel, there is only a 5% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic he/she is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect.
	Heal Unicorn	Necromancy	Healing	6	Touch	1 licorne	Permanent	None	None
This very potent healing spell enables the Rider to channel positive energy into the body of a unicorn to wipe away injuries, afflictions and disease. It dispels a Feeblemind spell and cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain such as fear, confusion or berserk. It also immediately neutralizes any poison and cure any diseases that the target might be suffering from, as well as fatigue, nausea, blindness and deafness. In addition, the peculiar bond shared by the Rider and unicorns magnifies the quality of healing: this spell not only heals all points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury, but it also restores life energy levels or ability score points permanently drained by a force or monster. This spell can not affect any creature other than a unicorn.
	Invisibility Purge	Divination	Guardian	3	0	120-ft. radius	Instant	None	None
Any enemy invisible creatures within the area of effect have their invisibility dispelled. This includes creatures under the effects of Sanctuary, Improved Invisibility, Shadow Door, Invisibility, Mislead, and so on.
	Knight Cure Medium Wounds	Necromancy	Healing	6	Touch	Creature touched	Permanent	special	special
When laying her hand upon a living creature, the Rider channels positive energy that cures 2d8 Hit Points +1 per caster level (up to a maximum of +10). Curing is permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage; caused wounds will heal - or can be cured - just as any normal injury. The spell does not affect creatures without corporeal bodies or of extraplanar origin. Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them rather than curing them. An affected undead creature may apply magic resistance, and roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell to halve damage.
	Mass Resist Energy	Abjuration	Protection, Elemental	6	Visual range of the caster	15-ft. radius	2 rounds + 1 round/level	None	None
This spell is similar to Resist Energy, except that it affects multiple allies in a 15-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the caster. It confers a limited protection from damage of whichever one of five energy types the caster selects: acid, cold, electricity, fire or poison. The recipients gain 10% resistance against the energy type chosen, increased by 1% per level. This spell absorbs only damage, whether magical or non magical, and does not protect from unfortunate side effects, such as drowning in acid (since drowning damage comes from lack of oxygen) or becoming encased in ice. Note: Mass Resist Energy does not stack with other spells that protect from the same energy type. However, a character may be simultaneously under the effect of Energy Immunity (fire) and Resist Energy (electricity), or any other two such spells that protect against different types of energy.
	Miscast Magic	Enchantment/Charm	Chaos	5	Visual range of the caster	1 creature	1 turn	Neg.	Yes
Any spellcasting creature that is affected by this spell has its casting ability severely disabled. When the creature attempts to cast a spell, it suffers an 80% chance of failure. Creatures can save vs. Spell to avoid the effect, but do so with a -2 penalty.
	Mist of Purity	Abjuration	Guardian	3	0	Special	1 round/level	None	None
The Rider surrounds herself with a purifying, swirling mist with a radius of 5 feet per caster level that puts a veil of moisture on everyone within its area. The mist washes the air clean of smoke and dust, repels all noxious elements from poisonous vapors, and cures all disease and poison inhaled within the cloud. Mist of Purity will dismiss all magical clouds (including Acid Fog, Cloudkill...) in the entire area that the caster is currently in, but it offers no protection against poisonous vapors created by a dragon's breath weapon (such as the chlorine gas of a green dragon). However, Mist of Purity grants everyone within the area a +4 bonus on their saving throws against poison.
	Nature's Favor	Conjuration	All	6	Visual range of the caster	1 animal	1 round/level	None	None
By exploiting the strength of the telepathic bond that links her to her unicorn, the Rider calls upon the power of nature to grant an animal a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls for every 5 levels of the caster, up to a maximum of 5 at 25th level.
	Nature's Purity	Evocation	Combat, Nature, Sun	5	Visual range of the caster	one or more rays	Instant	None	Yes
When the Rider casts this spell, a shimmering green beam of light springs forth from her outstretched hand and strikes any target in range. She can generate one additional ray for every five levels (two rays at 10th level, three at 15th level...) up to a maximum of five rays. The rays are fired at the same target within 30 feet Each ray deals 1d8 points of magical damage, 4d8 against undead, 2d8 against constructs and 5d8 against aberrations (Aboleths, Driders, Mind Flyers, Mimics, Umber Hulks, Otyughs, Beholders...).
	Remove Curse	Abjuration	Protection	6	Touch	1 Creature	Permanent	None	None
This spell allows the caster to remove a curse on an object, a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the Remove Curse spell does not remove the curse from a cursed shield, weapon, or suit of armor, although the spell typically enables the person afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. Certain special curses may not be countered by this spell, or may be countered only by a caster of a certain level or higher.
	Remove Paralysis	Abjuration	Protection	6	150 ft.	15-ft. radius	Permanent	None	None
This spell frees all allied creatures within the area from the effects of any paralyzation or related magic (such as a ghoul's touch or a Hold spell).
	Safe Clearing	Abjuration	Protection, Plant	9	Visual range of the caster	30-ft. radius	1 turn/level	None	None
The Rider makes an area safe from attacks, as if the entire space were under a sanctuary spell, except that it affects multiple allies in a 30-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the Rider. It causes all of their opponents to ignore their existence as if they were invisible. While protected by this spell, they cannot take direct offensive action without breaking the spell, but may cast non-attack spells or otherwise act in any way that does not violate the prohibition against offensive actions. This allows a warded priest to heal wounds, for example, or to bless himself. But he cannot cast spells on other creatures without ending the spell. Safe Clearing must be cast outside.
	Sunblade	Invocation	Combat, Sun	6	0	Special	1 round/level	Special	None
The Rider causes a brilliant and blazing ray of fiery sunlight to spring forth from her hand. This longsword-shaped ray remains in her hand for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. It strikes as a +3 magical sword and deals 1d8+3 points of slashing damage, plus an additional 1d6 points points of fire damage. Creatures vulnerable to sunlight, like undead, take double damage. In addition, sunlight rays that emanate from the blade blind the paladin's opponents who suffer a -2 penalty to hit rolls, as long as they stay in melee. Starting at 20th level, the Rider creates a Sunblade of Disruption that may utterly destroy the following undead creatures if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Death (with a penalty increased according to the Rider level, up to a -10 penalty): 20th level: Skeletons (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 30th level). 22th level: Zombies (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 32th level). 24th level: Ghouls (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 34th level). 26th level: Shadows (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 36th level). 28th level: Ghasts (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 38th level). 30th level: Wraiths (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 40th level). 32th level: Skeleton Warriors (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 42th level). 34th level: Mummies (with a penalty from 0 to at 44th level). 36th level: Spectres (with a penalty from 0 to at 46th level). 38th level: Vampires (with a penalty from 0 to at 48th level). 40th level: Liches (with a penalty from 0 to at 50th level). Material Component: A light source, which is extinguished in the casting.
	Swords Stream	Evocation	Elemental (Air), Combat	5	Visual range of the caster	120-degree arc	Instant	1/2	Yes
This spell causes moisture in the air to sparkle, coalesce, solidify, then shoot away from the Rider's fingertips in a high-pressure stream of 5 ft. length in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of her. The Rider is so focused that she can target only her enemies. Any victim in the area of the stream suffers 1d8 points of damage, +1 point per each level of the caster. Those successfully saving vs. Spell receive half damage.

L44th Level spells

Starting at 15th level, a Unicorn Rider may cast the following 4th level divine spells.

Icon	Spell	School	Sphere	Casting	Range	Target	Duration	TS	MR
	Astral Hospice	Alteration	Travel	4	0	Special	1 turn + 1 round/level	None	None
This spell opens up a small planar portal menant to a demi-plane where natural healing can occur and where people slowly regenerate sustained wounds at the rate of 1 HP per turn. The demi-plane's traits (including time, gravity, and magic) match those of the Material Plane. The only way in or out of the demi-plane is through the entrance created by the caster, and only those named or described by the caster upon the casting of the spell may enter. The portal continues to exist only while the hospice demi-plane exists. When the caster leaves the demi-plane, the portal seals shut and vanishes. Anyone still in the hospice demi-plane at that time appears on the Material Plane at the location of the hospice's entrance. An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane (but sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet), but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Material creatures are unable to attack an ethereal creature physically and magically. Material Component: A single flawless gemstone of at least 250 gp value.
	Blinding Beauty	Illusion/Phantasm	Elemental, Good	4	0	60-ft. radius	Instant	Neg.	Yes
When this spell is cast, the Rider appears to undergo a remarkable transformation and becomes the very ideal of beauty: For a male, this is usually a nymph; for a female, it varies. All humanoids who look at her must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or be blinded permanently as though by the Blindness spell. They suffer a Saving Throw penalty depending on their Hit Dice: if they have at least the same level as the Rider, they get a penalty of -1 increased by 1 every 10 levels of the Rider. If they have 5 Hit Dice less than her, they are automatically blinded. Otherwise, they get a penalty of -4 increased by 1 every five levels of the Rider. The transformation is instantaneous, but lasts only seconds, affecting those within 60 feet of her (excluding fellow party members). According to the legend, the Rider must abstain from sexual intercourse for one month before casting this spell, mais nobody has ever dared to check...
	Death Ward	Necromancy	Necromantic	9	Visual range of the caster	1 creature	1 turn/level	None	None
This spell protects the target from all forms of death magic for the duration of the spell. This includes, but is not limited to, Disintegrate; Power Word, Kill; Death Spell; and Finger of Death.
	Farsight	Divination	Divination	4	Special	Special	3 rounds + 1 round/level	None	None
When Farsight is cast, the caster is able to view an area of an unexplored map. After casting the spell, simply click on a section of the map that you want to view. For the duration of the spell, the caster can spy on that area, noting creatures and fortifications.
	Fierce Blow	Alteration	Combat	4	0	The paladin	1 round/level	None	None
Anyone who relies on the frail appearance of a Rider and her unicorn would make a fatal mistake. When this spell is cast, the Rider brings a special favor from Lurue upon herself to help her when fighting. For the spell's duration, she deals extra damage on any successful melee attack on larger opponents: +1d6 against large creatures, +2d6 against huge creatures, +3d6 against gargantuan creatures, and +4d6 against colossal creatures. The first attack roll made in the next round is a critical hit. Material Component: A dragon's claw or a giant's fingernail.
	Greater Cloak of Bravery	Abjuration	Charm	6	60 ft.	30-ft. radius	1 turn + 1 round/level	None	None
The paladin radiates part of his/her personal aura of courage to instill courage in his/her allies within a 30-ft. radius, raising their morale to its highest and immunising them to fear. The recipients' morale will gradually reset to normal as the duration runs out. If they are affected by magical fear, this is negated. In addition, they are galvanized and gain a +2 bonus to hit rolls.
	Holy Sword	Invocation	Combat, Good	7	0	special	1 round/2 levels	None	None
The Rider channels holy power into her sword that disappears and is replaced with a Holy Sword +5. This sword remains in her hand for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. It strikes as a +5 magical sword in terms of to hit and damage bonuses as well as the type of creatures it can hit, and deals an extra 2d6 points points of damage against evil opponents. In addition, the sword also projects a Magic Circle against Evil 10-ft. in diameter (as the spell), centered around the paladin's hand. The circle moves with the paladin and persists as long as she grips the sword. Within its range, the circle of power grants the Rider 50% of Magic Resistance and forbids evil opponents to cast spells. Opponents may not make Saving Throws to resist the circle of power and must leave the range of the circle to regain normal use of their spell and spell-like abilities. At last, the holy sword dispels magic on successful hit; the chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the paladin. This spell is not cumulative with Bless Blade or any other spell that might modify the weapon in any way. Starting at 25th level, the Rider invokes special types of holy sword with additional properties: Protector (25th level): The sword alerts the Rider to the presence of evil within a 60-ft. radius by generating a soft hum. All evil creatures in this radius hear a disturbing siren-like sound, audible only to them. Any affected creature who fails to save vs. Paralysis will continue to hear the siren ringing in his ears for the 1d4+1 rounds, with similar effects as a deafness spell. Revitalizor (30th level): The sword imbues the Rider with part of its energy, enabling her to regenerate 1 Hit Point per second as long as she wields it. Redeemer (35th level): The Magic Circle against Evil also causes all evil creatures within the area of effect to succumb to the effects of a fear spell if they fail a Saving Throw vs. Spells (with a -4 penalty). Purifier (40th level): The sword grants an extra +3 bonus to hit and damage against undead, and turns undead whose level is lesser or equal or to the paladin level. Note: Some paladins proficient with axes may invoke a battle axe instead of a sword
	Knight Cure	Necromancy	Healing	7	Visual range of the caster	1 creature	Permanent	Special	Special
At this level of mastery, the Rider does not need to lay her hand upon a living creature, but she has only to briefly focus on it to channel positive energy that cures 3d8 Hit Points +1 per caster level (up to a maximum of +15). Curing is permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage; caused wounds will heal - or can be cured - just as any normal injury. The spell does not affect creatures without corporeal bodies or of extraplanar origin. Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them rather than curing them. An affected undead creature may apply magic resistance, and roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell to halve damage.
	Lesser Restoration	Necromancy	Necromantic	2	Touch	Creature touched	Permanent	None	None
When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient is raised. This reverses any previous life energy level drain of the creature by a force or monster. The casting of this spell is very draining on the Rider and she will likely require rest immediately after the casting, as it will cause days' worth of fatigue almost instantaneously.
	Mass Shield of Faith	Abjuration	Protection, Law	2	0	Allied creatures in a 20-ft. radius	1 turn	None	None
This spell functions like Shield of Faith, except that it affects multiple allies at a distance. It grants them a defensive bonus by bestowing an enchanted coordination on their attacks and defenses. his allows a group of creatures to act as a single unit for a single battle or encounter. The effect is always centered on the caster, but affects all allies within a 20-ft. radius. Those affected can move outside of this area after the spell is cast and still enjoy the benefits of the defensive bonus. Each affected creature gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class, with an additional +1 bonus every 5 levels of the paladin (up to a maximum of 5 at 30th level), for 1 turn or until dispelled. Material Component: A small parchment with a bit of holy text written upon it.
	Negative Plane Protection	Abjuration	Protection, Necromantic	3	Touch	Creature touched	5 rounds + 1 turn/10 levels	None	None
This spell affords the paladin or the touched creature partial protection from undead monsters with Negative Energy Plane connections (such as vampires), and certain weapons and spells that drain energy levels. The Negative Plane Protection spell opens a channel to the Positive Energy Plane, possibly offsetting the effects of the negative energy attack. A protected creature struck by a negative energy attack is protected against any form of level draining for the duration of the spell. The protected creature suffers only normal Hit Point damage from the attack and does not suffer any drain of experience.

The Rider calls upon his/her deity to act as a bridge between her and the Prime Material Plane, causing a shock wave that releases magic of tremendous power centered on the paladin and reaching up to a 40-ft. radius.

The ability to instantly banished back to its home plane an evil extraplanar creature whose hit dices do not exceed the paladin level. The banishment effect allows a Saving Throw vs. Spell (with a -4 penalty, -1 for every 10 levels of the paladin) to negate (magic resistance applies).

	Rider's Support	Alteration	Necromantic	6	Visual range of the caster	1 creature	1 round + 1 round/level	none	none
The Rider lends some of her ability score points to an ally. She suffers a penalty of 1d4 points to any single ability score of her choice, and the recipient gains an equal enhancement bonus to the same ability score. However, as the Rider is not as close to Balance as druids are, it is not unusual for the penalty to be different from the bonus... It is not possible to cast this spell a second time within 1 hour.
	Selective Entangle	Alteration	Plant	4	Visual range of the caster	15-ft. radius	1 turn	Neg.	Yes
This spell is similar to Entangle, except that it affects only enemies in a 15-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the caster. By means of this spell, the caster is able to cause plants in the area of effect to entangle creatures within the area. The grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about the creatures, holding them fast for the duration of the spell. Once per round, a creature can attempt to save vs. Spell with a -4 penalty to avoid entanglement. Those who success can escape the area, moving half its normal speed until out of the area. An entangled creature can still attack, but at half of its normal rate and receives a -2 penalty to its Armor Class.
	Slayer Bow	Alteration	Combat, Good	5	0	1 bow	1 round/level	None	None
The Rider channels divine power into any bow to make it deadly to a particular evil foe, whose race she chooses when she casts the spell. The bow gains a +5 bonus to hit and damage rolls, an additional +2 bonus to hit and 2d6 points of damage against those créatures. The type of foes vary depending on the paladin level. She cannot have more than one Slayer Bow at a time.
	Spiritual Spear	Invocation	Combat, Good, Sun	6	0	Special	3 rounds + 1 round/level	None	None
Fighting alongside a unicorn, while mostly riding it, requires the Rider to take precautions to make sure she will not accidentally wound her companion in battle. Ce sort fait partie de l'arsenal dont elle dispose à cet effet. Similar to Spiritual Hammer, this spell allows her to calls upon her deity to spring forth a shimmering silver horseman's spear-shaped field of force from her hand. This weapon made of pure force can only be used by the Rider and remains in her hand for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. It is light and easy to pull, so that she can use it without penalty for non-proficiency. It strikes as a magical spear with a +1 bonus for every 10 caster levels in terms of to hit and damage rolls bonuses as well as the type of creatures it can hit. The base damage inflicted when it scores a hit is exactly the same as a normal spear used when charging (2d6, plus the magical bonus), even if Rider does not ride her unicorn or a horse. In addition, a spiritual spear acts as a silvered or cold steel weapon, and deals double damage against undead and lycanthrope creatures.
	Stars of Arvandor	Invocation	Good, Sun, Force	4	0	Special	1 round/level	None	None
This spell creates one tiny, twinkling star for every two levels (up to a maximum of 10) that will appear in the Rider's inventory. These stars orbit her head like ioun stones. For the spell's duration, she can launch up to five stars per round at a target she designates within range. Each star requires its own ranged attack roll to hit. Stars are treated as missiles with a +5 bonus to attack rolls and no penalty for lack of weapon proficiency. As they are pure magical force, they ignore in-corporeality and can hit any creature, even those who can only be hit by magical weapons. Each star bursts upon impact into a 20-ft. diameter brilliant and flashy sphere which deals 1d8 points of damage +1 for every 2 levels of the Rider (up to a maximum of 10) to any enemy within the area of effect. Evil creatures suffer double damage, as well as undead creatures (triple damage if they are evil). The Rider can give these stars to another non-evil character to throw them for the duration of the spell. After that, they disappear.
	Sunbow	Invocation	Combat, Sun	4	0	Special	1 round/level	Special	None
The Rider causes a brilliant and blazing ray of fiery sunlight to spring forth from her hand. This composite longbow-shaped ray remains in her hand for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. It is light and easy to pull, so that she can use it without penalty for non-proficiency. It strikes as a +3 magical bow, can fire up to 4 arrows per round, each dealing 1d8+3 points of damage. Creatures vulnerable to sunlight, like undead, take double damage. In addition, sunlight rays that emanate from the blade blind the caster's opponents who suffer a -2 penalty to hit rolls, as long as their remains at range. Starting at 20th level, the Rider creates a Sunblade of Disruption that may utterly destroy the following undead creatures if they fail their Saving Throw vs. Death (with a penalty increased according to the caster level, up to a -10 penalty): 20th level: Skeletons (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 30th level). 22th level: Zombies (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 32th level). 24th level: Ghouls (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 34th level). 26th level: Shadows (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 36th level). 28th level: Ghasts (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 38th level). 30th level: Wraiths (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 40th level). 32th level: Skeleton Warriors (with a penalty from 0 to -10 at 42th level). 34th level: Mummies (with a penalty from 0 to at 44th level). 36th level: Spectres (with a penalty from 0 to at 46th level). 38th level: Vampires (with a penalty from 0 to at 48th level). 40th level: Liches (with a penalty from 0 to at 50th level). Material Component: A light source, which is extinguished in the casting.
	Word of Binding	Invocation	Guardian, Law	6	30 ft.	1 medium or smaller humanoid or monstrous humanoid	1 round/level	Neg.	None
Sometimes a paladin prefers to capture an enemy to bring him to trial or to question him, rather than kill him. By means of this spell, the paladin creates shining golden manacles around the target's wrists and ankles. A successful Saving Throw vs. Spell (with a -1 penalty for every 10 levels of the paladin) allows the target to dodge the forming manacles; otherwise it is bound at its wrists and ankles. The manacles automatically scale to fit any medium or smaller humanoid creature. While imprisoned by the manacles, the target cannot do any actions requiring the use of its hands (attack or cast spells) and can move only 5 feet per round.
