'''Patron's Blessing''' bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin, increasing effective [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks for purposes of the [[CMAN|Combat Maneuver List]] (CML), SMR Defense, and [[Attack Strength]] (AS). <section begin=description />The caster's effective Combat Maneuvers rank is increased by +10, with an additional +0.75 for every [[Paladin Base|Paladin spell]] rank beyond 11.<section end=description />

The Combat Maneuvers bonus scales up to 100 Paladin Spell Ranks. There are two benefits:

* AS derived from the bonus combat maneuvers. This is not capped the same way that the next benefit is capped.
* Combat Maneuver calculations that do not directly use AS, such as CMAN skills, will not provide benefits beyond 2x training.

==Lore Benefits==

Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides an additional bonus of +1 Combat Maneuver rank at 3 Blessings Lore ranks, to a maximum of +17 Combat Maneuver ranks at 187 Blessings Lore ranks, on a [[summation chart|seed 3 summation]]. This benefit is still subject to the 2x CM skill cap for the spell on CML/SMR (but not AS).
