[1] Description

This module adds the paladin class as a specialization available to warrior classes. To unlock the specialization the player must have earned the achievment "Last of the Wardens".
There are currently a total of 8 new abilities available in the paladin specialization. The abilities are divided into two groups, holy and retribution. Holy abilities focuses on defense and crowd- controlling (in the case of Turn Evil) while retribution focuses on offensive abilities.
A list of added abilities can be found below.
Thanks for playing and hopefully enjoying my mod!
----------------------------
[2] Compatibility
----------------------------
From 1.0 RC2 and on this module is compatible with Awakenings. I've heard no complaints on compatibility issues with other mods so far. I also use GDA id's pretty far from the core files but there's always a risk of some other mod using the same, time will tell.
Known compatible mods:
* Advanced Tactics
* Combat Tweaks
"Kinda" compatible mods:
* Character Respec Addon: It's not able to respec points spent for paladin talents. Everything else seem to work.
Incompatible mods:
* None that I know of.
----------------------------
[3] Installation
----------------------------
Install the dazip package using either DAModder or daupdater (located in "Dragon Age Originsbin_ship").
To uninstall delete the paladin_spec folder from "My DocumentsBioWareDragon AgeAddIns" and delete paladin_spec_package.erf file from "My DocumentsBioWareDragon Agepackagescoredata".

regeneration. The aura will automatically cancel if the paladin doesn't have enough stamina left to maintain it.

----------------------------
[5] Customization
----------------------------
Starting with v1.2 it's possible to change the base levels and scaling factors of most skills. To do that you need to add entries to the DragonAge.ini file located in "My DocumentsBioWareDragon AgeSettings".
Cut and paste the following to the end of DragonAge.ini and then change the values you want.
Remember that all skills scale according to (Base + ((Willpower - 10) * Factor)).
[PaladinSpec]
Devotion_Base=3.0
Devotion_Factor=0.25
Fanaticism_Base=3.0
Fanaticism_Factor=0.25
Fanaticism_HasteBase=5.0
Fanaticism_HasteFactor=0.5
LoH_Base=50.0
LoH_Factor=5.0
Bless_Base=0.0
Bless_Factor=0.25
Smite_Base=40.0
Smite_Factor=1.5
Consecration_DebuffBase=0.0
Consecration_DebuffFactor=0.25
Consecration_DamageBase=0.0
Consecration_DamageFactor=0.5
The mod will automatically reload settings whenever a paladin ability (including auras) haven't been used for 10 seconds. So if you update the values in the .ini file you can deactivate all sustainable paladin abilities and then reactivate them after 10 seconds and they should now be using the updated values.
You can also execute "runscript divine_reload" to force a reload of the settings instantly.
----------------------------
[6] Changelog
----------------------------
Version 1.3:
- Reduced base value of Bless Weapon & Consecration. The factors remain the same so the abilities
still scale well with increasing willpower.
- Divine Intervention now affects the whole party.
- Smite Evil is now a ranged attack and has a more appropriate animation.
- Smite Evil bonus damage against undead & darkspawn has been reduced to 25%.
- Improved handling of custom settings (restart of Dragon Age no longer required to update).
- Turn Evil now allows darkspawn and undead creatures to ignore the effect 35% of the time.
It will also automatically cancel if the paladin doesn't have enough stamina left to maintain it.
- Corrected some spelling mistakes.
Version 1.2:
- Attack bonus on Fanaticism fixed, it was always giving +1 attack rating.
- The haste bonus from Fanaticism now scales with willpower.
- All abilities now scale according to the following model: Base + ((Willpower - 10) * ScaleFactor).

entries to the DragonAge.ini file. For more information see section [5].
Version 1.1:
- Fanaticism no longer apply attack speed increase to party members. The attack speed on the paladin
itself will correctly stack with other abilities that increase attack speed. It will also recalculate
the bonus automatically if the paladin gain attack speed from another ability after Fanaticism has
been activated. Fanaticism also calculates its own attack speed increase correctly.
- Bless weapon is now a sustainable ability for low upkeep cost (it is meant to make it possible for
the paladin to invest heavily in willpower and still do competitive damage).
- Bless weapon will now scale its damage depending on the speed of the equipped weapon. Damage bonus
is calculated to be equal over time and it will update automatically if the player switches weapons.
- Reworked Consecration, defense penalty is reduced but now applies for all creatures.
Undead & darkspawn receive up to 25% reduction to spirit resistance (but will not go below 0%).
- Removed level from having an impact on several abilities, these abilities will benefit more from
willpower to compensate.
Version 1.0 final:
- Significantly increased the damage of Consecration. (0.2 to 0.5 scale factor).
- Doubled radius of Devotion and Fanaticism auras (from 5 to 10 meters).
- Decreased cooldown of Lay on Hands from 60s to 30s.
- Removed possibility of Turn Evil to affect boss type creatures.
- Reduced cost of Divine Intervention to 0.
- Divine Intervention now also removes all injuries.
Version 1.0 rc2:
- Now compatible with Awakenings expansion.
- Updated some talent descriptions.
- Changed Fanaticism VFX on party members when they enter aura range. Now less annoying :-)
