Paladins of Neserie

[Osprey]

Like RaspK mentioned about Nesirie and the similarities to the hospitaler - I had already done something similiar (it is in my write up). Changed the spell progression, the spell list (focusing on healing, water and aiding spells), lowered the BAB and hit dice to account for these along with the no special mount feature - it comes out pretty well balanced. Added in the water breathing/water walking and freedom of movement (in water only) as class abilities to capture more of the feel of 2nd ed. We'll see what RaspK thinks when he reads the full write up.

So what makes this class as good of a choice as simply being a cleric of Neserie? Do they get more spells or faster progression than other paladins?

Yes, quicker access, more spells and higher level ones (up to 6th level) than a standard paladin, but not as many as a cleric (otherwise the class would be better than a cleric). That is what I meant by changing the spell progression. They still get many of the standard paladin abilities (laying on hands, remove disease, divine aura, etc.) so they are not 'better' or 'worse' than a cleric of Nesirie or a standard paladin - they are just different, which is the point of having a different class.

I really liked your work as far as I have read, Irdeggman; I have few objections, but they will have to wait anyway until I finish my reading (glad you obviously liked some of my ideas as well ).
