The Paladin glows brightly as he becomes the sanctioned target of his foes. All creatures and non-grouped characters in the area are subject to a [[warding]] roll and if they fail, will only target the Paladin and not other characters when attacking. The Paladin also will ignore [[MOC|Force on Force]] mechanics for at least one additional target, the number of targets increasing based on [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]].
__NOTOC__
==Lore Benefits==

[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] nullifies an additional target's Force on Force effect for every [[summation chart|seed 10 summation]] ranks while under this effect.

== Tactical Considerations ==

Beacon of Courage may be used as a protective effect for all ''other'' characters in the area. A paladin's friends might be incapacitated or otherwise likely to suffer serious damage from further attacks, which this spell can prevent.

It should work on [[bandit]]s, [[grimswarm]], and for the most part, any other creature. There may be some edge cases where it doesn't work on certain creatures or with certain maneuvers, but they should be rare.

==Messaging==

''This spell has [[Deity messaging#Beacon of Courage (1608)|different messaging]] based on the caster's deity.''
