Pearl Seeker

System: Pathfinder | SRD | Type: Subclass (Archetype) of Paladin

Some paladins are called to their faith by strange empathic visions and dreams that beckon them to the oceans and beyond, to right aquatic injustice and search for a glorious gasping and whispering pearl they don’t understand. Their contact with the strange but benevolent entity sending the dreams grants them unusual powers compared to other paladins.
