The class uses a pair of pistols as his weapon but thats the only thing you need to know to understand the ability. Shoot Mercifully At any time the Templar may reduce the damage of his attack to whatever he wishes. The process goes as follows: First roll an attack to determine if you landed your shot, then roll for damage. then you are permitted to lower your damage to what you wish but not above what you rolled. This mainly an ability for RP aspects and so you don't accidently overkill your target.

For instance, if I have a +5 damage bonus, I can knock off up to 5 points? I see no balance issues with this. Frankly, it's a de-powering ability, so there's really not a problem.
