Powers

The Adamantine Compact:

I, Paladin of Corean, do hereby vow that I shall,

Never retreat in the face of Evil, even unto despair, torment or death;

Value alwas the gifts of the Gods in others and myself: life, virtue, freedom and love;

Purify the taint of Evil with an Avenging Flame wherever I should pass;

Serve always as a guide on the path of Righteousness and as a Champion in the name of Corean.

In game terms, this is a Vow (great) [-15]

Paladin powers

Required behaviour: Vow (The Adamantine Compact). If the Vow is broken, powers disappear slowly, but require a major act of atonement.

This is the classic D&D Paladin abilities, flavored with a Vow for the Pact-like Divine modifier taken from the Scarred Lands setting.
