Anchoring Aura (Su)
At 8th level, a paladin’s aura hampers extra-dimensional travel by evil outsiders. The aura extends 20 feet from the paladin. Evil outsiders attempting to use abilities such as dimension door, plane shift, or teleport to leave or enter the aura must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the paladin’s level + the paladin’s Charisma modifier); failure means the ability does not function, as if the outsider were affected by dimensional anchor. The aura functions only while the paladin is conscious, not if she is unconscious or dead.
Alternatively, as an immediate action, the paladin can expend one use of her smite evil ability to target an evil outsider within 30 feet with dimensional anchor. A targeted dimensional anchor persists even if the paladin is unconscious or dead.
This ability replaces aura of resolve.
I run a Paladin who has just gained the power Ive posted above.
This might be a bit of an 'airy' question. Can an evil outsider tell there is something like this active? I know the rules that you can work out a spell effect, you can however identify when a spell/spell like is cast/used. As this aura is always on, would I be right in assuming the evil outsider cannot work out what it is or does the fact it needs to make a save to use its powers means that it can sense that something is not right?
Also does the Immediate action Dimension Anchor allow for a save by the creature being targeted? No save is listed in the power above. The spell itself normally requires a ranged touch attack and requires a SR check. Again no such thing is stated above.
Thanks for any advice on this.
