Ability: At the cost of a turning attempt, a cleric of Galathas gains their charisma modifier in attack bonus and 2 + their Charisma mod in damage is added to a single attack against an evil character. Just as Smite Evil this bonus does not work against foes that are not of an evil alignment. This ability replaces the standard Turn/Rebuke Undead.




The Church of Galathas is all but non-existant since the deity's death at the hands of the Nightstalker. Those few Knights and clergymen who offer homage to the Just pay little more than lip service, as outside of the Kingdom of Asturia nothing more than occassional roadside Shrines can be found. Still, the name of Galathas is often invoked by soldiers going to war and Knights on quests as a passing courtesy for the passed God. Yet now, at the eve of summer's break in the year 327 A.F., a single silver ray streaked across the heavens leaving those few remnants of Galathas suddenly found a link with the deceased God reestablished. Though their range of powers was crippled and severely limited, that they exist at all has sent waves through the religious communities with the implications...
