Smiting: Ordinator class levels stack with any other applicable class levels for purposes of determining bonuses to attack, damage, and frequency, if applicable, of the Ordinator's smite ability.

Full Smite: Such is the holy power of the Ordinator that his divinely charged blow falls, not like a star shot from the heavens, but like a meteor storm, a rain of holy strikes. Once per day, when making a full attack, an Ordinator may apply his smite ability to every attack made in the round, not including attacks of opportunity. This means every strike, including bonus strikes from haste spells and off-hand attacks, receives the smite bonus to hit and to damage. Using this ability counts as a single smite attempt, no matter how many blows are struck in a round. The Ordinator may use this ability one additional time per day for every five additional levels gained.

Sacred Vestments: Ordinators receive the highest quality armor their church can afford. These suits suits are distinctive, not only for their superb craftsmanship and heavy enhancements, but also in stile, to set them apart aesthetically from those of common guards. All Ordinators receive a full suit of Indoril Armor.

Gavel of the Ordinator: Ordinators receive a weapon of sacred significance; an instrument for delivering divine justice. The Ordinator receives an Ebony Mace.

Bonus Divine Feat: As a result of his continuing service and unwavering loyalty to church and god, the Ordinator continually gains blessings and insights on how to better use the power he is granted. Beginning at 4th level, and every four levels thereafter, the Ordinator may choose any feat that enhances one of his divine-related abilities.

Warding Hand: The Ordinator's body pulses with divine energy, and his growth toward the Tribunal comes to mean more than a close relationship. By 5th level, the Ordinator has taken a distinct step from mortality, developing supernatural resilience. He gains damage reduction of 1/-. Every five levels, the amount of damage increases, but it can never exceed the Ordinator's current Wisdom modifier.

Bane of Infidels: By 6th level, divine power is so thoroughly ingrained in the holy soldier that he can channel it as easily as he does his own inborn abilities. Once per day, should an Ordinator's smite attack score a critical hit, the bonus damage from smiting is added one additional time to the damage total. Figure the damage from the critical hit normally, and then simply add the bonus damage from the smite ability.______________
