Detect Evil:
At will, a paladin can use Detect Evil as the spell. As a move action, he can concentrate on a single item or individual within 60’ and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one target, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.
Smite Evil:
1/day, As a swift action, choose one target within sight to smite. If the target is evil, the paladin adds his Cha bonus to attack rolls and adds his paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of the smite. If the target is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage / level of the paladin. Smite Evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess. In addition, while Smite Evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to his Chr modifier to his AC against attacks from the target of the Smite. The Smite Evil effect remains until the target of the Smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every 3 levels thereafter, the paladin may Smite Evil an additional time per day.
Favored Class Bonus: (Paladin) Add a +1 bonus on Concentration checks when casting paladin spells.

Background
Born into a family of talented blacksmiths, Rolthvar was likely to live out his life as one of these artisans as well. And he would have been happy with that, an honorable and fullfilling life, before coming to the attention of the "Sons of Torag", a militant sect of priests and paladins working out of an abbey in Magnimar.
Honored by an offer to join the Order, Rolthvar eventually earned the right to become a paladin amongst them, and a skilled smith for the church's rather active forges.
In time, Rolthvar was instructed to go to the temple of Torag in the city of Skelt, where he continued in much the same manner. Recently, however, Rolthvar was tasked with getting more real-world experience, and was sent out with a merchant's caravan on it's way to Truanu, guarding it in the name of the church. The procession of merchants regularly traded with a small town of Truanu, which was about to celebrate it's annual Tradeknife Festival.
Rolthvar has recently arrived in town, and is looking forward to the Festival...
