Smite evil is very cool and very good, but with how long quests are nowadays and how many enemies you have to fight through, it's a little underwhelming to only have three uses of it at any given time. It might be interesting to allow for paladins to recover their smite evil charges like with the Apprentice aspect and the Priest cleric subclass. It'd encourage paladins to use their abilities more freely, and honestly will make the class more engaging and fun to play what with more buttons to press.

I think it's very EFU to suffer under what the RNG gods give you, but being a paladin and having a ring with the Aspect of the Serial Murderer is funny, but not very fun to play. Not only can you not trade these rings so you can't give them to a crafter to use a prism on it (so you have to, yourself, with what limited skills you have, learn crafting yourself, when no other martial class has to), but you are also damned to wear them forever and ever. I think paladins should be allowed to choose the aspect on their ring, or at the very least, a positive aspect is given to the rings when you buy them.

Gem encrusted rings: 600 each.

The Rogue Major Perk "Athletic" should give a bonus to the Athletic skill. Maybe instead of the +10 Discipline that so many other perks have, it can just get +10 Athletic instead? Especially now with the Fight or Flight feat it could create for an interesting niche build that Rogues can opt into.

Esteemed Sophist,

I, Hamdan al-Hamdan, have heard of your intellect in nearly all social halls in town. I would delight in a chance to speak directly to such an extraordinary scholar such as yourself. Do you prefer the earthy scent of a hot brew or the foggy vapours of a qalyan pipe? It shall be my treat.

Esteemed Legates,

I, Hamdan al-Hamdan, petition you to restore me to my former office, which was stripped away from me by a dual-White League Pyramid for daring to speak out against them and in favour of the Fourth Legion's Janissaries. I urge you to do this hastily, as I wish to enter again the realm of governing Ephia's Well with vigour and enthusiasm as a true Purple Patriot would.

I, Hamdan al-Hamdan, should serve as one of the Viziers of the Well. It is my destiny, and my calling. Now, more than ever, in a full-Purple Pyramid, it is THE time!!!

[INTRIGUE]

I have to agree. I really don't like how Detect Evil works, but I think a FORM of Detect Evil is imperative to the Paladin Experience. My favorite implementation I've seen of a Detect Evil is a little complicated but here's basically what it was... in line of the central theme of INTRIGUE:

- Detect Evil MUST target a specific character to work.
- Using Detect Evil is obvious and alerts the individual being "tested" that they're being detected for evil by the paladin
- Detect Evil has a chance to fail based on the other player's Bluff Score versus a Spot check by the Paladin (It can give false alarms, no alarm, etc. Keep them paranoid!)
- Detect Evil cannot be used on the same player more than once every couple IRL hours.

This kind of system would make Detect Evil not just an instant submarine radar for the Paladin, but an real ACT that can be witnessed by others and reacted to ICly. It'd create a lot of drama and intrigue, especially if a Paladin is checking someone well-known and respected (How dare they... does this Paladin really think the Legate is evil?!)

It'd create situations where the Paladin has to be careful and paranoid over who they bring to their party, and they'd rely not JUST on the Detect Evil, but also the RP of the people they're working with because their Detect Evil isn't an infallible god-sensor anymore.

This can probably be implemented as a player wand, in the same way of how searching other players' inventories works right now.
