===== ''Weapon Magic'' (Sp) =====

-

The most notable of the Invocations that a Holy Knight learns is traditionally known as "Sword Magic", though a sword isn't necessary at all, any weapon will work. As a Standard Action, a Holy Knight may attack a single target within 15 feet to deal damage as if ~~she struck that enemy with~~ a melee attack, ~~excepting that~~ instead of ~~adding her~~ Strength ~~modifier to the damage~~, ~~she adds her~~ Charisma ~~modifier~~. Her Charisma modifier is ~~not~~ multiplied by 1.5 if ~~she is~~ using a two-handed weapon, ~~however. The Power Attack feat does not add damage to this attack.~~

The most notable of the Invocations that a Holy Knight learns is traditionally known as "Sword Magic", though a sword isn't necessary at all, any weapon will work. As a Standard Action, a Holy Knight may attack a single target within 15 feet to deal damage. This is a ranged attack, but uses Charisma in place of Dexterity for the attack roll. The attack functions as if it had been a melee attack for all purposes aside from the range, and the ability scores used: instead of Strength, Charisma is used for both attack and damage rolls. Her Charisma modifier is multiplied by 1.5 on her damage roll if her Strength score ordinarily would be (for using a two-handed weapon, for example).

Her target is allowed a Reflex save against a DC equal to 10 + half her base attack bonus + her Charisma modifier to negate the damage. If a Holy Knight uses a daily use of Smite with the attack, however, a Reflex save only halves the damage, but when used this way the entire Weapon Magic will only function against targets susceptible to the Holy Knight's Smite ability.

This attack is always considered Good and Law aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
