Paladin Point Buy Rules

In order to Point Buy any Packs from Paladin Point Buy, the Character must be a devout worshipper of any Religion.
Paladin Point Buy usually derives its power from the Gods, so it is considered God Magic.
Paladin Point Buy can, however, be treated as Planar Magic, for religions that favor Planar Magic, or for Characters who can't/won't mix God & Planar Magic.
The above rule is "all or nothing" meaning Paladin Point Buy Packs must be All God Magic, or All Planar Magic.
Paladin Point Buy should generally have aesthetics of bright lights, holy warriors, and works best with the aesthetics of the following Religions: Unionism and Estelley.

Stance Ability

The Divine Stance Ability is required for all Paladin Point Buy Abilities. This Ability cannot be point bought, but is included for free as long as at least one Paladin Point Buy Pack has been purchased. This Ability does not do much besides enable further Paladin Abilities, while adding some baseline buffs. As a general ground rule. Stances cannot be Countered, Prevented, Cancelled, or interrupted in any way. Please note, if your character has this Stance Ability, they cannot acquire any other Stance Abilities, regardless of their source.
