DIVINE INTERCEPTION

Level:     P27
Cost:      none

Paladin only. Level 27 innate skill.

Effect:   Divine Interception is the pinnacle defensive discipline of the
          Paladin order. Facing catastrophic room-wide magic, devastating
          elemental tempests, and dragon breath, the Paladin acts as an
          unyielding celestial lightning rod and guardian aegis.

          When an area-of-effect attack or dragon breath strikes the room,
          a Paladin who is standing or fighting and wielding a weapon will
          automatically raise their blade skyward to intercept and ground
          the onslaught before it consumes their companions.

          A successful interception guarantees at least a 75% damage
          reduction across the Paladin's group, with a dynamic 1-in-4 roll
          for the party to suffer only:
            -  0% damage (complete absorption)
            -  5% damage (95% reduction)
            - 15% damage (85% reduction)
            - 25% damage (75% reduction)

          Only characters grouped with the Paladin are sheltered under the
          divine aegis; ungrouped players and separate groups in the room
          receive no protection and take full damage.

Usage:    Automatic
