Paladin Archetype - No Mercy

[Sphynx]

I'm building a new Archetype for Paladins, which basically lets you take both types of Divine Bond at the cost of no Mercies. However, there is no "Mercy" on the list of Class Specials - Removed Class Special Abilities. Can't find it anywhere else either.

And since I'm asking, am I correct in assuming I need to create my own Class Special version of Divine Bond that allows both a companion and the weapon? Or can I just add the same Class Special twice to the Archetype?

Thanks in advance,
Sphynx

Mercies are custom abilities, so in your archetype, scroll down to the "Custom Abilities" section. The 6th line is a checkbox to "Remove Custom Abilities", which you can check to have it eliminate the mercies.

If you want the user to add both Divine Bonds, I recommend you just add 1 more slot to the existing table. To do that, look for the button "Modified Second Ability Count". Click on that and enter a 1 at the level which you would like to grant an extra Divine Bond (remember that Row 0 = Level 1, so if you want to add it at Level 5 you should put a 1 in Row 4).

Thanks... I have no idea how that worked, but it worked beautifully! Much thanks!
