This also grants the paladin's mount a damage reduction of 5/good and a spell resistance of 6 + the Paladin's level. The nimbus is bright as if the daylight spell were cast on the paladin. The nimbus is also loud, so the paladin takes -10 to Move Silently checks.

	Do you feel the Paladin's a bit weak? Maybe a bit too front loaded? Well I'm making a paladin variant. Hopefully this should be fun.		Do you feel the Paladin's a bit weak? Maybe a bit too front loaded? Well I'm making a paladin variant. Hopefully this should be fun.

			*No fighter feats

	Overall, the paladin is overpowering in the short run (very high saves, especially with 18 Cha) and very weak in the long run (Often stated as a featless fighter.)		Overall, the paladin is overpowering in the short run (very high saves, especially with 18 Cha) and very weak in the long run (Often stated as a featless fighter.)


	Actually, the spell list has improved dramatically, especially if you look beyond the Player's Handbook. Complete Warrior and Complete Divine have some sweet spells, and Sword and Sorcery's Relics and Rituals has a great set of supplementary spells. So a smart paladin will stop looking trying to cast Cure Serious Wounds.		Actually, the spell list has improved dramatically, especially if you look beyond the Player's Handbook.

	I decided to remove the disciplines I put in my previous revision. I decided they were too specific and too hard to balance. Also, I figured that a paladin prestige class would take care of things.
