Hell Knight Armor (Ex)Īt 2nd level, a Hell Knight earns the right to wear Hell Knight plate, which does not reduce his speed. Discern Lies (Sp)Īt 2nd level, a Hell Knight can use discern lies as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier with a caster level equal to his character level. This ability is twice as effective against outsiders with the chaotic subtype, chaotic-aligned aberrations, and fey. This ability functions as the paladin’s smite evil ability, but against chaotic-aligned creatures. The choice of order determines what disciplines the character gains later access to.
