Order of the Hospital (Hospitaliers)
A paladinic order, the Hospitaliers are known for their bravery in battle and their compassion for the wounded. They travel the world, both alone and in large groups, protecting pilgrims, healing the sick and advancing on the armies of the adversary.

Hospitaliers have the same requirements as paladins in the PHB, but are granted the following powers: detect presence of evil (as in PHB); +2 to all saving throws; immune to all non-magical diseases (as in PHB); healing hands (double what is in PHB); curse disease (as in PHB); holy staff (like holy sword in PHB, save it is a holy staff); war horse (as in PHB); priest spells (as in PHB, only spells available to Raphaelites). As well, a hospitalier has the same limits w/respect to amount of magical items, tithing, actions of henchmen etc. as in the PHB. Hospitaliers, like Raphaelites, must offer healing (if they are able to heal) to any who asks it of them.
