Proselytizer (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Some sacerdotes strive to lead the faithful, be it to wage holy war, spread the faith, expunge sin or heresy, or some other grand project. Whatever the cause, the proselytizer involves other people and bolsters their efforts. Proselytizers strike allies and enemies indiscriminately, trusting their patron to sort friends from enemies.

Class Information

This is a sacerdote archetype.

Class Skills

The proselytizer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Points per Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features

This archetype has all normal class features, except as noted.

Blessed Charisma (Ex)

The proselytizer add his Charisma bonus in addition to the attribute he would normally use on attack rolls with spells or divine wrath rays. This does not apply to physical attacks improved by spells, only to attack rolls granted by the spell itself. As an illustration, a proselytizer applies this bonus to divine wrath rays and to attack rolls with spells like cause light wounds, searing light or spiritual weapon, but not to the attacks of a weapon enhanced with magic weapon.

In addition, the proselytizer's mastery of magic gives spells with a range of touch a very limited range. When the proselytizer casts what is normally a melee touch attack spell, he can deliver it as a ranged touch attack with range of 5 ft. times the proselytizer's Charisma modifier. It uses the proselytizer's Dexterity modifier (in addition to his Charisma bonus from the first part of this ability) to calculate the attack bonus. If it misses the spell is lost, the charge cannot be held. If the target is within the proselytizer's natural reach, the spell can instead be delivered normally.

A multiclass proselytizer cannot use this ability with spells gained from other classes. This replaces calculated targewting.

Community Domain

A proselytizer must choose the Community domain (not a subdomain) and may do so even if his patron(s) do not ordinarily offer this domain. The proselytizer does not gain any domain powers from the community domain. This is a modification to the domains class feature.

Selective Wrath (Ex)

At third level the proselytizer gains Selective Wrath as a bonus feat. At level 5 and every two levels thereafter, add one to the number of targets the crusading preacher can exclude when he uses divine wrath as an area effect. This replaces the sacerdote's third level bonus feat.

Flexible Manifestation (Ex)

At 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter when the proselytizer learns a new manifestation, he can choose to take a bonus feat instead. He can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, or a wrath feat. The proselytizer must meet all prerequisites of each bonus feat.

Bolstering Wrath (Su)

At 7th allies in the area of the proselytizer's divine wrath ability and selected to be immune with Selective Wrath immediately gain a new Will saving throw against any lasting effect that allows a saving throw. If this saving throw is passed, the effect works as if the initial saving throw was successful. Spells with an instantaneous duration are not affected. This replaces the sacerdote's 7th level bonus feat.

Invigorating Wrath (Su)

At 11th level, the benefits of bolstering wrath extends to effects that allow a Fortitude or Reflex save as well. This replaces the sacerdote's 11th level bonus feat.

Heroic Wrath (Su)

At 15th level, bolstering wrath also gives each beneficiary one temporary hit point for each die of damage the divine wrath ability does to enemies. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute. Note that temporary hit points do not stack. This replaces the sacerdote's 15th level bonus feat.

Channel Zeal (Su)

At 19th level, the beneficiaries of bolstering wrath can take an immediate action to make either a move or a standard attack action. This is in addition to previous benefits and replaces the sacerdote's 19th level bonus feat.

In addition to the stated number of spells per day for 1st- through 9th-level spells, a sacerdote gets an equal number of domain spells for each spell level, starting at 1st. The "x+x" in the entries on this table represents these additional spells. Bonus spells the sacerdote may receive for having a high Wisdom score apply only to cleric spells and not to domain spells.
