How do the Bracers of the Merciful Knight act with Antipaladin's Touch of Corruption Supernatural Ability?


Rules Questions


Dear all, this is my first time posting in the forums. So. Hello.

I was wondering how would the Bracers's buff react with the Antipaladin's Touch of Corruption?

Paizo Antipaladin Page wrote:
Touch of Corruption (Su) : ... This ability is modified by any feat, spell, or effect that specifically works with the lay on hands paladin class feature. For example, the Extra Lay On Hands feat grants an antipaladin 2 additional uses of the touch of corruption class feature.

From the reading, it is pretty clear that the extra uses of the Lay on Hands (henceforth known as "LoH"), and the +2d6 extra healing would directly translate into 2 extra uses of ToC, and +2d6 extra damage.

The D20PFSRD page on Bracers of the Merciful Knight wrote:
Additionally, once per day, the wearer can infuse a use of lay on hands with additional power, providing relief as a lesser restoration spell.

Will I be able to infuse my ToC with a Lesser Restoration? I admit, it would be pretty amusing to tell the the hurt person, don't worry, this will DEFINITELY HURT, but it'll feel sooo goooodd.

Or will it change into another effect? (For example, the negative energy subverts the Lesser Restoration, changing it to deal 1d4 temporary ability damage instead.) (I really doubt thats what it means)

Or will it just not work at all, and Antipaladins will only benefit from the first part of the descriptor. Which is still fine i guess.

Thank you for your kind replies.

TL;DR : Does the "lesser restoration" 1/day ability from the Bracers of the Merciful Knight work somehow on the Antipaladin?

Yes, as the Antipaladin's ability, very specifically, "is modified by any feat, spell, or effect that specifically works with the lay on hands paladin class feature."


So I'll be able to lesser restore someone by hurting them with my touch of corruption, if i decide to do so?

Interesting..

Thank you VRMH for the reply.
