Magic Item Descriptions

bracers of the merciful knight Lay on hands uses per day and healing provided calculated at four levels higher (factored in above). Once per day, lay on hands also provides lesser restoration.

holy special weapon ability Weapon is good-aligned and bypasses corresponding damage reduction. Deals 2d6 additional damage to all creatures of evil alignment. Bestows one negative level on any evil creature attempting to wield it for as long as weapon is wielded; negative level cannot be overcome in any way while weapon is wielded.

ring of energy shroud 1/day—As immediate action, negate the damage of an incoming acid, cold, electricity or fire energy effect for yourself (but not other creatures in area of effect), and transform it into an elemental aura spell effect around you of the same energy type as it negated lasting for 13 rounds. Ring also continually provides resist energy 10 against one type of energy.

Mercy (Su) Whenever the paladin uses lay on hands to heal damage to one target, the target also receives the additional effects from all of the mercies possessed by the paladin. A mercy can remove a condition caused by a curse, disease, or poison without curing the affliction. Such conditions return after 1 hour unless the mercy actually removes the affliction that causes the condition.

Smite Evil (Su) As a swift action, choose one target within sight to smite. If target is evil, gain bonuses to attack and damage and against attacks from target. Automatically bypass any damage reduction the creature might possess. Smite remains in effect until the target is dead or rest and regain use of ability. If target is outsider with evil subtype, evil-aligned dragon, or undead, bonus to damage is 2 per paladin level on first successful attack. If the target is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
