There was a time in the history of the world where good people wore white hats and evil people wore black hats. Where the champions of lawful good rode their gallant steeds and defended the helpless. Yes, even in the Wild West, there were Singing Paladins.
Paladins and bards at first seem like chocolate and peanut butter, two great tastes that need to be together. But there is a slight problem, paladins are lawful, and bards are not. And it was this way for quite a long time. Until a paladin of Columbo, by the name of Tzor decided that being bold and true didn’t mean you couldn’t chant with the monks. Inspired by the Singing Druid Francis, Tzor set out to discover the way of the Singing Paladin, starting an order that exists to this very day.

Paladin Points: The Tzor can add his levels in Tzor to his levels in Paladin for the purposes of the Paladin's Lay on Hands, Smite Evil, and Turn Undead ability.
Bardic Music: Just like a bard.
Bardic Music: The Tzor has access to certain elements of bardic music, although the Tzor uses levels in the Tzor class instead of levels in bard class to access these features. Additions to the features are based on the levels indicated in the table and not in the text descriptions on the bard.
Bardic Knowledge: Just like a bard.
Bardic Knowledge: Silimiar to that of the bard class, only the Tzor uses his class levels in Tzor instead of Bard.
Spells: Since the Singing Paladin Tzor is not actually a bard he continues along the path of spells before he became a Tzor. Typically this would be the paladin chain, but any spell caster class obtained could be increased by these levels.
Spells: When the indicated level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Tzor, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Paladin Multiclassing: Once a Tzor obtains 5th level in the Tzor PRC he may freely switch back and forth on future levels between the PRC and the Paladin class.
