SPECIAL ABILITIES
--------------------
Spoiler:
Aura of Good (Ex): The power of a paladin’s aura of good is equal to her paladin level.
Detect Evil (Sp): At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, works against evil targets, charisma bonus to attack and damage rolls, bonus increases by +2 against evil outsiders and undead and dragons, deflection bonus to armor against target equal to charisma modifier.
Divine Grace (Su): At 2nd level, a paladin gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws.
Lay On Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier. With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.
Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.

Kyra Lightstep grew up in a small town, and it was there that she eventually learned how to be a paladin. Her life started with her parents murdered by brigands, which in turn led to her both having an interest in justice and toward having a bit of a temper. She temper boiled over one day when she ended up in a fight with a neighbor boy, one she had been long-feuding with for reasons she's long-since forgotten. When the fight ended, she decided to pursue martial training.
Surprisingly, she was accepted by a paladin who lived in town, who trained her under his other apprentices. Though the others mocked her for not following a single god and her instructor was not happy with it, Kyra did not feel any particular compulsion to choose. Instead, she devoted herself to the concepts of law and good. And, over time, that temper she had as a youth became mild, though it still flared on occasion.
Soon, Kyra was a full paladin, and was hearing about an offer to settle the Greenbelt. Despite the fact her instructor was still not happy with her not having chosen a deity, he gave her his blessing.
