Dissenting Sacerdote (Apath)

| Unofficial rules compendium | |
|
|
Dissenting sacerdotes are at odds with the temporal powers of the world and lives a life of persecution. They cannot practice their faith freely, and are forced to take their beliefs underground. They remain theologians and their clandestine life can resemble an ivory tower.
Class Information
This is a sacerdote archetype.
Class Skills
The dissenting sacerdote's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (local) (Int), Knowledge (nobility) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), and Stealth (Dex).

Class Features
This archetype has all normal class features, except as noted.
Secrets of the Faith
Add the following spells to the dissenting sacerdote's domain spell list at the indicated levels.
- illusion of calm
- rope trick
- nondetection
- detect scrying
- mage's private sanctum
- veil
- mage's magnificent mansion
- screen
- communal mind blank
He also adds a sacred bonus equal to 1/2 her level on Sleight of Hand checks for innocuous spellcasting.
Domains
The dissident sacerdote begins play with access to only a single domain. At level 3 and every 4 levels thereafter (at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level) the sacerdote chooses a new domain. This domain is chosen using the normal sacerdote restrictions, but the dissident is free to change what patron, pantheon etc he serves at any point in his career, and can always chose to strike out on his own to avoid all restrictions. This modifies the domains ability and replaces all bonus feats.

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 extra spells. Bonus spells the sacerdote may receive for having a high Wisdom score apply to both regular spells and domain spells separately and is thus applied twice.
