Verbal Components - Paladin/Cleric feats
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2016 2:32 pm
I was playing around with Silence and activated paladin feats. To my surprise, I discovered that Smite Evil requires a verbal component. I can't find a source for that requirement anywhere in a sourcebook, so I'd suggest it's removed.
Turn Undead (and any ability relying on Turn Undead, such as Divine Shield and Divine Might) also require a verbal component on the server. This is a little bit more tricky. Player's Handbook AD&D says that "a touch of drama is important" (direct quote) and the character must thus be able to speak. Player's Handbook 3.0 says nothing about a verbal component - "You must present your holy symbol to turn undead." Suggesting that a holy symbol is all that is necessary.
I think it has been said that we use 3.0 rules? So the verbal component shouldn't be there?
