A bit confused on "Stonestrike"


Rules Questions


For the Stonelord Paladin:

Stonestrike (Su): Once per day per paladin level, a stonelord can draw upon the power of the living rock. As a swift action, she treats her melee attacks until the beginning of her next turn (whether armed or unarmed) as magical and adamantine, including ignoring hardness up to twice her paladin level, with a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls, as well as on combat maneuver checks. This bonus also applies to her CMD if she or her target is touching the ground or a stone structure. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter. This ability replaces smite evil.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm pretty tired. The first line gives me a bit of confusion. Does this mean that a 5th level Stonelord can do Stonestrike five times per day? 8 times a 8th, etc?

Thanks.


Yup. That's 1 round of Stonestrike per level every day. Which does in fact mean you get 5 daily uses at 5th level, 8 daily uses at 8th and so on.


Hmm. Not bad. Not as good as Inquisitor's Bane but I like the ignoring hardness and the magical/adamantine attacks sweetens the deal.

Plus it works on everything, not just Evil.


It's okay. Especially after level 5 or so, when you can keep it up for a whole encounter if necessary.
