Spellcasting: the Paladin casts Divine spells, using the Wizard's Spells per Day. However the Paladin automatically knows all spells on his class list, and casts spells spontaneously. The casting stat is Wisdom for Paladins. See the spell list below.
Detection (Sp): the Paladin detects strongly as his Alignments, but also can cast Detect (any opposing alignments) at will. Note that this provokes Attacks of Opportunity, so people can smack him upside the head for staring in public.
Lay Hands (Sp): three times per day, the Paladin may place his hands on someone (requiring a melee touch attack if they are unwilling) as a Standard Action, restoring lost HP equal to his level multiplied by his Charisma modifier (minimum of +1, for a total of at least his level in HP). This even heals Undead as though by negative energy.
Smite (Su): at level 2, once per minute as a Standard action, the Paladin may make a regular melee attack as a Smite. It gains a bonus to hit equal to the lower of his level or Charisma modifier (minimum +1), unless the target's Alignment is his direct opposite, where the bonus to hit is equal to the higher of his level or Charisma modifier. If it successfully hits, a target who opposes his Alignment on at least one axis takes an additional 1d6 damage per level of the Paladin.
Swiftcast (Ex): at level 3, the Paladin gains the ability to cast spells and stab people in the face, practically at the same time. Any Paladin spell may be cast as a Swift action, however doing so causes the spell to only last one round (unless the Duration is already Instantaneous or less than one round).
Fearless (Ex): at level 4 the Paladin becomes immune to all [Fear] effects, in fact gaining a +2 Morale bonus on attack rolls for 1 minute when subjected to them, as he laughs in the face of danger.
Paladin's Mount (Su): at level 4 the Paladin gains a powerful mount to ride into battle.
SOMETHING HERE ABOUT MOUNTS
Divine Health (Ex): at level 5 the Paladin becomes immune to Poison, Disease, Fatigue and Ability Damage/Drain.
Sudden Spell (Su): at level 6, the Paladin gains the ability to mentally react to danger before he is even truly aware of it. Whenever he is required to roll Initiative, the Paladin may cast a Paladin spell as an Immediate action (even though he does not have actions available at this point - it consumes his Swift action in the first round). Doing so causes the duration to be reduced to one round (unless it was already Instantaneous or less than one round).
Zeal (Ex): at level 7, the Paladin becomes better at rapidly burning off spells to protect his friends. The Paladin may Swift Cast even when using Sudden Spell, as though Sudden Spell did not consume their Swift Action (but no other Swift Action may be taken in its place if Sudden Spell was used).
Aura of Courage (Su): at level 8, the Paladin exudes a 20' radius aura that makes his allies feel brave (though he may suppress it at any time). All allies in the area become immune to [Fear] effects.
Aura of Health (Su): at level 9, the Paladin exudes a 20' radius aura that makes his allies feel healthy (though he may suppress it at any time). Only one aura may be active at a time but he can switch between them with a Swift action. All allies in the area become immune to Poisons and Diseases.
Reactive Spell (Su): at level 10, the Paladin can quickly bring up protective spells to help out in dire circumstances. He may cast Paladin spells as Immediate actions, however doing so reduces the duration (unless Instantaneous) to less than a round, only covering the triggering action itself.
Smite Makes Right (Su): at level 11, the Paladin gets better at Smiting. The target of the Smite, if successfully hit, must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half the Paladin's HD + Paladin's Charisma modifier) or be Stunned for 1 round.
Holy War (Ex): at level 12, the Paladin gets a bonus feat. This may be any Leadership feat.
Smite on Sight (Su): at level 13, the Paladin gets used to Smiting everyone. He may spend a Full Round action using his Smite attempt, directing it against every target of his choice that he can see in a 90 degree arc. He must roll to hit only once, using that roll against the AC of every affected target. He still uses a melee attack roll, and regular weapon damage is still included. It just works out like that.
Aura of Vitality (Su): at level 14, the Paladin gains another 20' radius aura with the same restrictions as the others. While it is active, the Paladin gains Fast Healing 10 and all allies in the area gain Fast Healing 5.
Awesome Words (Su): at level 15, the Paladin gains three combined daily uses of any of the following spell-like abilities: Blasphemy, Dictum, Holy Word, Word of Chaos. He may only use spell-like abilities from this list that match his Alignment.
Lifesaver (Sp): at level 16, the Paladin may once per day touch someone who has died, and raise them from the dead as per True Resurrection.
Glory (Ex): at level 17, the Paladin becomes even better at firing spells off rapidly. Whenever he uses Reactive Spell, he gains a Swift Action in the next round that can only be used for Swiftcast, nothing else. Effectively the Paladin may Swiftcast and use Reactive Spell both each round.
Divine Intervention (Su): at level 18, the Paladin may once per day negate an attack (including spells, supernatural abilities and any harmful effect, even those that don't deal damage) that he can see. This is an Immediate action, and the attack simply fails, dealing no damage and causing no ill effects.
Protection Against Losing (Su): at level 20, the Paladin becomes immune to losing the game, and in fact wins.
Detection (Sp): the Paladin detects strongly as his Alignments, but also can cast Detect (any opposing alignments) at will. Note that this provokes Attacks of Opportunity, so people can smack him upside the head for staring in public.
Lay Hands (Sp): three times per day, the Paladin may place his hands on someone (requiring a melee touch attack if they are unwilling) as a Standard Action, restoring lost HP equal to his level multiplied by his Charisma modifier (minimum of +1, for a total of at least his level in HP). This even heals Undead as though by negative energy.

It gains a bonus to hit equal to the lower of his level or Charisma modifier (minimum +1), unless the target's Alignment is his direct opposite, where the bonus to hit is equal to the higher of his level or Charisma modifier.
