Clerics draw Power from their Devotion to a Deity. Their spell selection is generally tailored towards support through healing, boons and afflictions and they are afforded an average HP pool and armor proficiencies to allow a frontline presence if desired. The various archetypes allow the Cleric to become a more classic frontline enspelled warrior, a dedicated healer, or unique offensive spellcaster.
- Maximizing Strength or Dexterity is recommended if you want to focus on attacking with weapons and using Maneuvers like Knockdown. It also provides bonuses to your Fortitude or Reflex save.
- Maximizing Wisdom is recommended if you want to focus on your spellcasting ability (Offensive DCs, Spells/day, Metamagic Pool) and the potency of Channel Divinity features.
- Dexterity allows you to maximize Armor Class from light/medium armors and improves your Reflex save.
- Constitution increases your survivability in raw hit points and contributing to your Fortitude save.
- Intelligence contributes to your maximum Maneuver pool and Reflex save.
- Charisma contributes to your Will save and support Maneuvers such as "Commander Strike".
Vitals
- Hit Die: d8 (8 HP per Level)

Cleric Core Mechanics
Metamagic: Conversion
The character receives the Conversion feat for free.
Channel Divinity
The character gains access to features that draw upon a Channel Divinity pool, representing a reserve of divine energy. These features may be granted by class levels, feats, or archetypes. This pool has a maximum capacity of equal to the sum total of their Paladin and Cleric levels, plus the highest of their Wisdom or Charisma modifiers. The character regains 1 Channel Divinity for every 6 non-minion foes slain.
Channel Divinity: Turning
The character may target a location within Short (8m) range to release a wave of pure conviction, striking enemies within a 6m radius sphere. Struck enemies must succeed at a saving throw (Will, DC: 10 + Cleric Level + Paladin Level + Highest of WIS/CHA; Negates) or suffer the Fear effect for 3 rounds. These enemies also receive Psychic damage equal to the character's combined Wisdom and Charisma modifiers, halved if the character succeeded their saving throw.
The effects of this ability are subject to ongoing saving throws. Each round, the target may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. Each failed saving throw provides a stacking +4 bonus to further saving throws for 5 rounds versus the following effects:
Confusion, Daze, Domination, Fear, Knockdown, Paralysis, Petrification, Sleep, Stun
Bonus Feat: Channel Divinity
The Cleric receives a free Channel Divinity feat of their choice.
