Warrior of the Holy Light's power of faith

[DanyRay]

Hi,

Does the power given for this ability at 4-8-12 and 16th level may be used at the same time or the paladin must chose one from the list?

All of the level-dependent powers go into effect whenever the paladin calls forth her Nimbus of Light.

So, a 16th level paladin's Nimbus of Light would grant the +1 morale bonus to her allies, cure them of 1d4 ability damage, invoke a 30-foot diameter effect similar to the daylight spell, grant her allies energy resistance 10, and grant her allies a 25% chance to turn critical hits into normal hits.

Thank you Tom for the clarification

30 foot halo for the win...

Follow-up question: Does the Power of Faith expend one or more uses of the Paladin's Lay on Hands ability? I do not see where it specifies that it does.

[DesolateHarmony]

It exchanges out for the spellcasting ability of the paladin. If it uses uses of the Lay on Hands ability, it needs to be abundantly clear about it.

Lol: uses uses.

[Bakari Anum]

Right... I ask because the Paladin gains uses of LoH as part of the description of this ability. If it does not cost anything but a standard action to activate this ability, then the Warrior of the Holy Light probably will have this activated when convenient all his waking hours.

Yes, actually, I think it does expend one use of the lay on hands ability. I'm no good at providing links, but the line reads: "She can spend a use of her lay on hands ability to call upon the power of her faith as a standard action." To me, it stands to reason that the Power of Faith ability would have limits; spellcasting has daily limits, too.

Power of Faith (Su): At 4th level, a warrior of the holy light learns to use the power of her faith to bolster her defenses and aid her allies. This class feature replaces the paladin's spells class feature. A warrior of the holy light does not gain any spells or spellcasting abilities, does not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger or spell completion magic items.

At 4th level, the warrior of the holy light gains one additional use of her lay on hands ability per day. She gains one additional use of lay on hands per day for every four levels she attains beyond 4th. She can spend a use of her lay on hands ability to call upon the power of her faith as a standard action. This causes a nimbus of light to emanate from the warrior of the holy light in a 30-foot radius. All allies in this area (including the warrior of the holy light) receive a +1 morale bonus to AC and on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear as long as they remain in the area of light. This power lasts for 1 minute.

So, yes. It does use a use of Lay on Hands, and it has a duration of one minute per use.

I see it says people only get benefits if they remain in the light, what if they leave and return?

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Once they're back in the light, they're remaining in the light from that point onward, so they get it again. It's another way if saying "allies within the radius get these benefits". This is to differentiate it from effects that follow your allies even if they go farther away from you than the radius of effect after the fact, like bless, which continues to affect allies until the duration expires even if they go far away from you.
