2: Defending Shield: Your dedication to protecting your community manifests as a way to shield yourself and others. Three times per day as a standard action, you can summon a mystical glowing shield that sheds light as a torch. This shield manifests in a square within 30 feet of you, and it can share your space or that of any of your allies. If the defending shield is in a creature’s square, it grants that creature a sacred bonus to its Armor Class equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can move the shield to a different square within 30 feet of you as a swift action and can dismiss the shield as a free action. The defending shield lasts for 10 rounds each time it is summoned.

2: Valorous Smite: If you have the smite evil or Chaos class feature, you gain an extra use of that ability per day. You add the levels of sentinel to your paladin or Hell Knight levels when calculating the extra damage dealt by your smite. If you successfully deal damage with your smite, your target must succeed at a Will saving throw (with a DC equal to 10 + your Charisma modifier + 1/2 your Hit Dice) or be stunned for 1 round plus 1 round for every 4 Hit Dice you possess (maximum 6 rounds). Once a target saves against this stunning effect, it is immune to the stunning effect from your holy smite for 24 hours If you don’t have the smite evil class feature, instead you can, as a free action, single out an outsider with the evil subtype or an evil-aligned dragon you plan to vanquish. Against this target, you gain a +2 sacred bonus on attack rolls and a sacred bonus equal to your sentinel level on damage rolls. The bonuses remain until the target is dead or you use this ability again, whichever comes first. If you choose a target that is not one of the listed creature types, the ability is wasted. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus (minimum once per day).
3: Banishing Strike: Once per day, you can channel the effects of banishment through your weapon, though you don’t need to cast (or even know) the spell. You must declare your use of this ability before you roll your attack. On a hit, the target is affected by a banishment effect. If you openly wear a holy symbol of Andreios, you gain a +1 bonus on your caster level check to overcome the target’s spell resistance (if any)
