Oma, imo dropping turn undead for favorite enemy is a poor decision. Firstly it is Rangerish,  and being a dirty hippy violates the Paladin Code of Conduct. But secondly there is a number of feats that are powered by using charges of Turn Undead. Favorite Enemy is also racial profiling, proof that those Hippy Rangers are all really hypocrites.

Thirdly, if you drop Turn Undead, you may as well pick up Divine Counterspelling.

But regardless, this Paladin build looses Turn Undead anyways as part of the substitute levels, so it is moot point.

And there is the difference Oma, and is why you are so willing to exploit Feats like Nymph's Kiss, have your Slowed Mount, Ready a Charge so you can make a Charge Attack in the middle of a Full Round Attack (Attack, Charge, Attack, Attack) Because you aren't looking at these rules in context, balance, or Rules as Intended, and instead look to Exploit them and twist their meaning in any way possible, even taking a half sentence in an obscure FAQ out of context and insisting it overwrites the pages of Published Rules. Why you would insist that the rules for UMD overwrites the rules for Scrolls.

Yes, RAW, you could call these Paladin Spells, and consider them Divine Paladin spells for the purpose of many feats, simply because it doesn't say that you can't do this. And it is an easy conclusion to reach if you read it with a mind to exploit the rules rather then to understand them. Ignore the description as "fluff" , misquote an obscure FAQ out of context, outright dismiss rules that contradict it as "nope, doesn't apply"

Read the same rule in context, with RAI (Rules as Intended) in mind, rather then seeking to exploit the wording and rules, and you will come up with an entirely different conclusion.

Rules as Intended makes it clear, even if Rules as Written could be taken the other way.  The Spells are Arcane Spells that the Paladin has to prepare from a spell book, so while it allows the Paladin to prepare Wizard spells in his Paladin spell slots, it doesn't add these spells to the Paladin's Divine spell list (since they are still arcane spells) but rather gives the Paladin a second, seperate, Arcane Wizard Spell list.

They are two sperate Spell lists, so even though the arcane spells can be cast from the Paladin's spell slots, they are not Paladin spells (ie I have both the Divine and the Arcane versions of spells like Detect Undead)

RAI, Battle Blessing was intended to effect spells on the Paladin Spell list only, not the Spell lists a Paladin might gain from other sources (such as prestige classes) That these feats come from different books and may not have taken such their combination with each other into account.

Out of curiosity, do those spells use Int or Wis for save DCs and bonus spell slots?

Draco, The Wizard spells use Inteligence to set the spell's DC and Max Spell leve, so an Int of 14 is required for this build to cast level 4 Wizard spells. It however uses the Paladin's Charisma to determine bonus spell slots, as the spells are prepared in the Paladin's normal spell slots. The Paladin spells still use Charisma. Somewhat limiting, (be sweeter if they used Charisma for both) but the build also gives 2 additional spell slots per spell level.

Don't paladins use Wis for their spells?

???? the code of conduct let you use it agains some creatures only not all type as a ranger as example undeads and if you are saying that then you never going to use a weapons with bane, lawful or holy ability

UMD overlap the standards rules for it a non spell caster can use the items in first place are well definen in her own rules and remember specific over general.

about the spells, the feat only call paladin spells not divine spells or from your domain or divinity then if you can cast the spell with your paladin CL and spell slot of your paladin then this feat will work in that spells but in this feat you use your wizard CL for the spells then the feat not work the feat let you stak your paladin, wizard and ranger levels to determine your wizard CL for this spell only and yours Spells slots of your divine class but still are wizard spells not paladin spells and the battle blessing don´t work in its.

Would someone be so kind as to translate that last post from gibberish to English?

"The paladin's favoured enemy option fits with their code of conduct through its focus on appropriate enemies, such as undead, and it's really no different to using a weapon ability that harms a specific type of enemy (such as the bane, lawful, or holy abilities).

Use Magic Device defines its own rules by allowing non-spellcasters to use items that normally require spellcasting, and it's more specific than the general rules.

The feat only allows you to cast actual paladin spells (not just any divine spell), so it will only work if you're using your paladin spell slots and caster level.  The feat may allow you to stack your caster levels, but it doesn't make wizard spells into paladin spells, so Battle Blessing won't work with it."

As least, that would be my reading of it (sorry in advance if I've read something wrong there, Oma).

= My most popular campaign item; for all your adventuring convenience. Show
Zauber's Mutable Rod: This rod has a number of useful functions that make it easier to live in the wilderness.  It is made of polished wood, with five studlike buttons on one end.  Each button produces a different effect when pressed.  Unless otherwise noted, the rod’s functions have no limit on the number of times they can be employed.
        When button 1 is pressed, one end of the rod produces a small flame, equivalent to a candle.
        When button 2 is pressed, the rod unfolds into a two-person tent, complete with bedrolls and warm blankets.
        When button 3 is pressed, the rod becomes a one-handed hammer, suitable for pounding pitons into a wall.
        When button 4 is pressed, the rod becomes a sturdy iron spade.
        When button 5 is pressed, the rod becomes a wooden bucket able to hold 2 gallons of liquid.  Once per day, it can be commanded to fill with fresh water.
If the rod is seriously damaged or broken in any of its alternate forms (button 2, 3, 4, or 5), it reverts to its basic rod form and cannot be activated for 24 hours.

very well thanks Smile and happy new year

the only extra is that the part of the UMD i talk about the rule of "specific over general" too
as example as general you can't use fear effect on undeads as specific you can use rebucke undead to cowering undeads as fear effect then specific overlap general
