Humble Champion
Not all paladins are clad in shining armor, nor wield the sword and shield. Some prefer a lonely, ascetic existence, while others may live and work side-by-side with the poor and vulnerable. Others take up the mantle of humility as a personal choice and demonstration of piety and service to their cause, while continuing to work and train alongside the more traditional paladins of their order. On rare occasions, a deity may test a chosen warrior's devotion to the faith and not to glory, imposing these restrictions upon them for either a set amount of time, or permanently. Whatever the reason, these paladins find that devotion and faith can provide just as much power and protection as manufactured arms and armor.
Class: Paladin
Prerequisites: Paladin level 1st
Level: 1-20
Replaces: Paladin weapon and armor proficiencies
Benefit: The humble champion is not proficient with any armor or shields, but gains the AC Bonus of a Monk of his level. A humble champion may use their Charisma modifier in place of their Wisdom modifier; this choice cannot be changed once made. The humble champion's Paladin levels stack with any Monk levels the humble champion may have for the purposes of determining their total AC bonus.
The humble champion is proficient with all monk weapons, plus the favored weapon of their deity (which they may treat as a monk weapon). The humble champion also gains the unarmed strike and unarmed strike damage feature of the monk, though not flurry of blows.
A humble champion loses access to these benefits while wearing any armor, but regains them again after taking off the armor and spending at least one minute in prayerful meditation.
