Improved Saving throws: The paladin uses a more
favourable saving throw table than other classes (see
table, below).
cure disease: Paladins can cure disease (as the
clerical spell) by touch, once per week. Paladins
of higher than 5th level may do so twice per
week, and those higher than 10th level thrice
per week. Paladins themselves are completely
immune to disease.
detect evil: A paladin may detect evil at any
range up to 60 ft at will, provided he or she con-
centrates on doing so.
protection from evil: A paladin radiates an aura
within a 10 ft radius, equivalent to the clerical
spell protection from evil.
lay on hands: Once per day, the paladin may
heal 2 hit points/ level to any creature touched
(e.g. a third level paladin would heal 6hp with
this ability)

† 8th is the ceiling spell casting level for paladins; they may never cast spells as a High Priest or Priestess does.
Each level gained thereafter requires 350,000 additional experience points and gains 3hp.

* Long-hafted, pointed weapons, such as the spear, lance (when used dismounted), pole arm, or trident, inflict double damage when set to receive a
charge and the foe actually charges. The lance inflicts double damage when used by a character riding a charging heavy warhorse or similar animal; if
the attacker is mounted on a normal riding or cavalry horse, the damage should be reduced.

Some GMs and/or players like to assign their character’s height and weight from the character’s ability scores and background,
and others do not bother with them. These are perfectly acceptable approaches. Some groups prefer to use random tables for
these things, and for these groups, the following tables are provided.

Saving throw: Half
By casting this spell upon a group of seeds, either acorns or holly
berries, the druid imbues them with the potential to erupt in a vio-
lent explosion of magical fire. Transformed acorns may be used as
missiles, and transformed holly berries as delayed-action bombs.
The spell allows the druid to create four acorn fire seeds or eight
holly berry fire seeds, or a proportionate combination such as two
acorns and four holly berries. Acorns may be thrown at a range
of up to 40 ft and cause 2d8 points of damage in a radius of 5 ft,
igniting any combustibles that fail item saving throws. If an acorn
strikes its target with a successful to-hit roll, the target is not enti-
tled to a saving throw. Even if the attack misses, the target may be
caught in the blast area (and would be entitled to a saving throw
for half damage, as any other creature within the blast area). The
holly berries may be thrown no more than 6 ft, or may be left in
place to ignite upon a command word. (The range of the command
word is 40 ft.) Holly berries create an explosion in an area of 5 x 5 ft,
inflicting 1d8 points of damage and causing combustible items to
make saving throws against magical fire or burn. As with the acorn
seeds, a successful saving throw against the explosion of a holly
berry fire seed reduces the damage inflicted by one-half.
