Lightbringer Reforged - Paladin Overhaul and Smite Rework (Necrotic Smite Update)

Mod Description

This mod is based on the original Lightbringer- A Paladin Overhaul by EthicalCrusader and Astralities. Since that mod was abandoned over 2 years ago, I’ve created a standalone version that retains its best features while ensuring compatibility with other mods. I’ve also updated several spells and introduced various tweaks to refine and expand upon the original spell designs.

I’ve been using the original mod since its release, and while it’s a massive overhaul for Paladins, it overwrites the level progression, which makes it difficult to use alongside other mods that also modify the Paladin class.

To make the amazing original mod more accessible and modular, I decided to split it into several standalone parts. This way, you can pick and choose the features you want to use - especially those not already offered by other mods.

The following modular features are currently available:

⚒️✨ Lightbringer Reforged - Blessed Hammer and Imbue Weapon

⚔️⚖️ Lightbringer Reforged - Judgments (Smite Rework)

🛡️⚡️ Lightbringer Reforged - Paladin Auras 

✋➕ Lightbringer Reforged - Lay on Hands

⛪🔆 Lightbringer Reforged - Oath Spells Revised (WIP)

🪄📈 Lightbringer Reforged - Additional Paladin Resources

⚒️✨ 

This mod adds a new spell Blessed Hammer and a reworked version of Elemental Weapon called Imbue Weapon.

Blessed Hammer - Throw a blessed hammer that explodes on impact, dealing 2d6 Radiant damage to enemies caught in the radius and creating Blessed Ground where it lands. Enemies on Blessed Ground take 2d6 Radiant damage each turn and suffer from Difficult Terrain, while allies in the area gain Death Ward and heal for 2d6 1d6 hit points each turn.

how this spell differs from the original mod:

Currently, there are no additional benefits from upcasting, as the spell is a
