Agathions and Mercies

[Nephelim]

According to the Bestiary 2, all Agathions can lay on hands as a Paladin of a level equal to their Hit Dice... Having said that, Paladins of over third level add Mercies to their Lay On hands.

Pardon the pun, but on the one hand, Mercy is a separate class feature than Lay on Hands, but on the other, it an automatic additive to Lay on Hands, based on the Paladin's Level.

In fact, at the end of the write-up for Mercy, it says specifically that mercies are a direct and cumulative feature based on the level of the Paladin's Lay on Hands ability...

Opinions?

Forget the mercies, Agathion only use LoH

if he were a paladin level 3rd, that mean he can cure the exactly hp as a paladin do, no more than that!!

or maybe im wrong with this

I tend to agree with you... but the counter argument (RAI vs. RAW) could be made. It says "as a Paladin" and a Paladin gets Mercies when they LoH.

If the intend was that agahtion could use mercies then paizo would have put that information in the monster description.

So, agathions can only heal damage.

in the other hand, i preffer aathion with mercies, but the rule says loh and nothing about mercies.
