Ribbon Herald
Some paladins make pact with outside entities to uphold justice and virtues. These paladins are guided by familiar which provide them with counsel and magical abilities. The ribbon herald uses their power to transform into an idealized version of themselves.
Class: Pathfinder Paladin
Level: 1st, 4th, 5th
Replaces: Spellcasting (Altered), Smite Evil, Divine Bond
Benefit: A ribbon herald paladin gain the following class features:
Armor and Weapon Proficiency: A ribbon herald is proficient with all simple weapons, one martial weapon of their choice as well light armor and shields (except tower shields).
Ribbon Pact: A ribbon herald must make a pact with an outside entity to gain her power, thus she can be of any good alignment. Her pact may alter her code of conduct, as per player and GM's discretion.
Spellcasting: A ribbon herald is a prepared divine spellcaster, but she suffers from arcane spell failure as if she was an arcane caster when she cast while wearing medium or heavier armor. She uses the magus spell prepared table and draws her spells from the magus and paladin spell list. She prepares spells like a WitchPathfinder, by communing with her familiar and uses it as her 'spellbook'.
Familiar: A ribbon herald starts the game with a familiar, treating her paladin level as her wizard level for the purpose of familiar benefits. A ribbon herald cannot take Improved Familiar feat.
Smiting Transformation (Su): Once per day as a swift action, a ribbon herald can become empowered by greater power to defeat evil. In this state her armor, weapon and clothes become glamoured taking the appearance of the ribbon herald's choice. The change is always the same for a particular piece of equipment once she transforms. While transformed, a ribbon herald adds her Charisma bonus as a deflection bonus to her AC. When she attacks an evil creature she gains a +1 bonus to attack roll and half her Charisma bonus on damage roll.
A ribbon herald stays transformed for her 1 + Charisma bonus in rounds, after which she returns to normal. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the ribbon herald may use her smiting transformation one additional time per day.
True Form: At 5th level a ribbon herald gain the Improved Familiar feat, but may only choose a good or lawful-aligned outsider. In addition, the ribbon herald's familiar gains the Change Shape ability to transform into its previous form. A ribbon herald retain her familiar's previous form familiar bonus.
