Divine Champion

162.158.94.231: /* Lay on Hands */

===Description===

The divine champion is the strong right arm of their [[deity]]. They serve as a guardian of holy sites, a protector of pilgrims and a leader of crusades. Though [[paladin]]s
fill these roles in many good-aligned churchs, a divine champion can take up the banner of any deity, regardless of alignment or ethos. These holy warriors are loved by their patron's worshipers and hated by the church's enemies in equal measure. Most champions come from a combat or military background. [[Barbarian]]s, [[fighter]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[ranger]]s are the most common candidates, though [[monk]]s, [[cleric]]s, and the more militant [[druid]]s frequently pursue this path as well.

===Requirements===
'''[[Base attack bonus]]''': +7

'''[[Feat]]s''': [[Weapon focus]] (any)

'''[[Skill]]s''': [[Lore: Religion]] 3 ranks

'''Note''': While you can choose a deity as part of character creation, having a patron deity is '''not''' a requirement to be a divine champion in NWN2.

====Smite Infidel====
At 3rd level, the divine champion gains the ability to make a special attack against creatures of differing [[Good]]/[[Evil]] [[alignment]]s. When using Smite Infidel, the divine champion applies their [[Charisma]] modifier to their attack roll and their class level to the damage delivered. Smite Infidel may be used once per day.

Lay on Hands

162.158.94.231:

{{FeatInfo|type=Class
|Prereq=[[Divine champion]] level 1, [[Paladin]] 2 or [[Hospitaler]] 1
|Req=None
|Specifics=Once [[per day]], the character may lay on hands to heal damage equal to their [[Charisma]] bonus x their class level. Paladin, Hospitaler and Divine champion levels stack for determining the effects of Lay on Hands. If the CHA modifier equals 0, nothing happens.
|Use=Selected
}}

Note: This ability is supposed to deal divine damage to undead (no saving throw required, but a successful melee touch attack must be made and the attack is subject to spell resistance). The amount of damage is equal to the amount of heal, but when used on the offensive, amount of damage is doubled on a critical hit. However, this will only work on friendly (summoned) undead, as this ability is classified as a non-hostile spell ability, so it is not possible to target hostile creatures with it.
