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".

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 (Reflex, 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.

4 | Yajna | You gain a new Channel Divinity option, Yajna. This ability allows you to enter a state of focus whereby you forsake the ability to perform any actions other than maintaining Yajna effects. Using the feat again whilst in this state allows you to target a creature.

4 | Radiance | You gain a new Channel Divinity option, Radiance. For one minute, your Cleric damage spells restore the first instance you have memorised but expended of that same spell after casting, including that same memorisation. Your Negative Energy Ray, Inflict Wounds, Slay Living, and Circle of Doom spells now deal Divine damage instead of Negative energy. |
7 | Brilliance | When an enemy is struck by one of your Cleric damage spells while you are under the effects of Radiance, they suffer the effects of Blindness for 1 round (Reflex, DC: Spell; Negates). |
10 | Effulgence | You may use Radiance again while under the effects of Radiance, extending the duration by another minute. For the remaining duration of Radiance, when you cast an area of effect Cleric damage spell, one round later the area is bathed in light. Any enemies within 10m of the spell's origin point suffer 1d4 Divine damage per point of your Wisdom modifier. If a single target spell is cast, the target instead suffers 1d4 damage per point of Wisdom modifier each round for the next 3 rounds. |
