Fallen Paladin (4e Paragon Path)

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Unholy Brightness: "range" should be "melee"; "rangemod" should be "weapon"; encounter powers should not cause ongoing conditions. Relative Light: needs an effect, looks like "range" should be "close" and "rangemod" should be "burst 10"? Candle In the Night: needs weapon keyword; is this "ranged 10" or "close burst 10"? "Strength Vs. Armor Class, +2." needs clarification - is that +2 to strength or ac? What's the range of the bright light? You can help D&D Wiki by better balancing the mechanics of this page. When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template. If you do not understand balance please leave comments on this page's talk page before making any edits. Edit this Page | All pages needing balance

[edit] Fallen Paladin

“	Aye, once I served Pelor. Then he betrayed my faith, and now I fight against his warriors, using the power he seeks to destroy. Want to see?	”
—Thalad, dragonborn paladin

Prerequisite: You must be a Paladin. Your alignment must not be Lawful Good.

You passed the tests. You served your god faithfully and with devotion. However, somewhere, somehow, you made a slip and something went wrong. In that moment, your god and the church have branded you a criminal, a heretic. Adepts and aspiring devoted have pledged their dedication to bring you to justice. You are on the run now. However, the powers given to you upon becoming a paladin still remain with you, and now your anger, desire to avoid capture, and other emotions have brought to light new powers, one that your former comrades fear with reason, for these powers will soon be used in your revenge...

[edit] Fallen Paladin Path Features

Fall from Light (11th Level): Your alignment becomes neutral. You gain a +2 bonus to Strength, and take a -2 penalty to Wisdom. You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class when wearing heavy armor.

Fallen Resurgence (11th Level): Whenever you spend an Action point to take an extra action, you can instead regain hit points as if you had spent two healing surges. Whenever you do this, you are unable to make opportunity actions until the end of your next turn.

Tainted Light (16th Level): Whenever you use an attack that deals radiant damage, you may instead deal necrotic damage. If the attack scores a critical hit, you may deal both radiant and necrotic damage.
