What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 34 The Knight's Old Friend

"Tsk, I forgot to ask this guy about the Worm Walker..."

Ren's footsteps stopped suddenly, and a hint of annoyance appeared on his handsome face, but it disappeared quickly.

"Forget it, I guess this guy won't say anything, let's wait for the information from Nanzhuo."

Ren shook his head and put the matter aside.

For killing Blake, the leader of the Red Label Gang, he didn't have the slightest regret in his heart.

Eliminating evil is the duty of our paladins!

After the battle was over, Ren began to check his harvest.

Needless to say about the loot, the three of Blake ate a fireball at close range, and the equipment on their bodies was basically damaged to the point of being unusable. The only glass cane was also cut into pieces by Ren's sword. two cuts.

Only the experience value is still good.

Dink and Van Reid each gave him 1600 experience points in close combat, while Blake, the leader, gave him nearly 4800 experience points in one go.

If converted, this guy should be a level 8 mage.

It's a pity that no matter how high his mage level is, he is still a crispy profession. If he is close to melee without preparation, the final result is self-evident.

However, so many experience points prove a fact - Faye's head is very valuable!

Ren decisively consumed experience points and raised his paladin level to level 5.

"Gain 2 (1+intelligence adjustment value) skill points, and increase HP by 14 points (10+ constitution adjustment value)."

"You have acquired the spell-like ability [Holy Oath]."

Continuing to add skill points to focus and block respectively, Ren began to study the newly acquired spell-like abilities.

After the paladin's professional level reaches level 5, a holy contract is formed between the paladin and the gods he believes in and the beliefs he respects. This contract is called [Holy Oath].

The Holy Oath comes in two forms, and once chosen cannot be changed.

The first type of oath is an oath established between a paladin and a weapon.

A paladin can summon celestial spirits to attach to a weapon, adding additional abilities to the weapon for 1 minute per paladin level.At 5th level, the spirit grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus, and every three levels thereafter, the weapon gains a +3 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +1 at 20th level.These bonuses stack with the weapon's original enhancement bonus, up to a maximum of +6.

In addition, spirits can also be used to add the following enchantments to weapons: Law, Radiance, Protection, Disintegration, Blaze, Pyroburst, Holy, Sharp Edge, Mercy, Pursuit.The bonus added to the cost of the enchantment is the same as the bonus of the enchantment itself.The added enchantment works at the same time as the weapon's original enchantment, but duplicates do not stack.

Note, however, that a non-magical weapon must be given at least a +1 enhancement bonus before any enchantment can be applied to it.

The enhancement bonuses and enchantments awarded are determined each time the spirit is called and cannot be changed until the next call.Non-paladins who hold this weapon will not receive any benefits from the contract, but the soul still exists in the weapon, and the enhancement will take effect again after the weapon is returned to the owner.

5级的圣武士每天可以使用1次此能力。5级之后的每4级，圣武士都会多获得1次使用次数，17级时达到最多每日4次。

The second oath grants the paladin the ability to summon a special mount.

This mount resembles a druid's animal companion and uses the paladin's class level as her effective druid level.A bonded mount has an Intelligence score of at least 6.

圣武士能以一个整轮动作通过魔法呼唤让坐骑前来。该能力相当于一个法术环级为圣武士等级1/3的法术。坐骑会立刻出现在圣武士身边。5级的圣武士每天可以使用1次此能力。在5级之后的每4级，圣武士都会多获得一次使用次数，17级时达到最多每日4次。

Compared with ordinary mounts, this special mount summoned by divine power has great advantages-its attributes such as life, strength, intelligence, and natural defense can grow with the level of the owner. In addition, it also has many special abilities. The master communicates spiritually and shares spell effects.

Whether or not the mount was previously wounded, every time it is summoned, it appears intact.

Appears while wearing the equipment worn before the last return (including mount armor, saddle, saddlebags, etc.).

Therefore, even if the paladin's mount is injured, as long as he unsummons it and summons it again, he can get a mount in good condition.At that time, this effect was even played in the hands of players, such as maintaining the stamina of the mount through such operations, driving continuously and so on.

According to the classification of spells, summoning a mount belongs to the conjuration (calling) effect.

But once the covenant oath is made, no matter if the weapon hosting the spirit is destroyed, or the mount dies in battle, within one month (within 30 days) after that, or if the paladin upgrades his paladin level, the paladin will not be able to use this oath. ability, and takes a -30 penalty on attack and damage rolls for 1 days.

Obviously, the first covenant strengthens the ability of the paladin on the output side, and the second greatly strengthens the mobility of the paladin.

After thinking about it, Ren chose the second oath.

As a black knight, the additional ability added by the Oath of Vengeance has greatly improved his output ability. In this regard, there is no need to further strengthen it for the time being.

However, since the main attribute of a paladin is charisma, and the secondary attributes are constitution and strength, it is relatively lacking in agility.

And an excellent mount can greatly make up for this shortcoming.

More importantly, as a black knight, how could he not have a mount that matched him?
"Let me see what my future partner will be!"

After choosing to summon the mount as the sacred oath, Ren snapped his fingers and activated his newly acquired spell-like ability.

The next moment, a light gate composed of pure white holy light slowly formed in the dark alley, and the figure of a white horse gradually appeared in the holy light.

Seeing the handsome white horse walking in front of him with small steps, a look of surprise appeared on Ren's face.

Celestial Warhorse!

He never expected that there would be a celestial creature responding to his call.

Celestial beings inhabit upper planes such as Mount Paradise and Elysium, and rarely appear on the Material Plane.

Although the main material interface can find life similar to certain celestial creatures, the celestial creatures are more gorgeous, beautiful and powerful than their secular counterparts.

Celestials are born with darkvision out to 60 feet, increased damage reduction, and increased spell resistance. In addition, they have the ability to smite evil, though only once per day.

Ordinary paladins who want to summon celestial creatures as their mounts must have the specialty of [celestial mount].

The Celestial Warhorse lowered its head and rubbed affectionately on Ren's shoulder. A pair of clear and energetic eyes showed a look of intelligence, and then snorted lightly.

"Sorry~"

The Celestial Warhorse let out a low neighing sound, as if it wanted to tell Ren something.

"You mean, you hunger for adventure, and that's why you pushed aside the ugly creatures of the world and answered my call?"

With the help of high animal domestication skills, Ren understood what the other party wanted to express in the call.

The big head of the Celestial Warhorse nodded heavily, and then rubbed against Ren's chest.

The intelligence score of celestial creatures is much higher than that of ordinary creatures, at least 4.

"Then, boy, you'll have to work harder."

Ren patted the horse's strong neck.

After the other party responded to Ren's call, they gained supernatural or special abilities such as telepathic communication, mastery of reflection and evasion, spell sharing, and saving test sharing. Therefore, the Celestial Warhorse can fully understand the common language of the mainland spoken by Ren got it.

"What a beautiful Celestial Warhorse!"

With the sound of admiration, Ren and his new mount turned their eyes to the direction of the sound.

Miss Ranger's voice appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

　The protagonist's paladin profession combines parts of DND3R, 5E and Pioneer PF, which can be regarded as an epic level enhancementヽ(￣▽￣)
