Class Abilities
The rogue cleric has all the standard cleric's class abilities except as noted below.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Proficient with the club, dagger, hand crossbow, light crossbow, sap, shortbow, quarterstaff, the favored weapon of his patron, and with light armor but not with shields.
Channel Harm (Su)
Regardless of alignment, any rogue cleric can release a wave of harmful energy by channeling the power of her faith through any holy (or unholy) symbol. This is a mix of positive and negative energy that harms both undead and living creatures. Objects and creatures which are neither living or undead, such as most constructs, are not affected by this ability.
Channel harm causes a burst that affects all creatures in a 30-foot radius centered on the rogue cleric. The amount of damage dealt is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two rogue cleric levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). Creatures that take damage from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the rogue cleric's level + the rogue cleric's Charisma modifier. A rogue cleric may channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A rogue cleric can choose whether or not to include herself in this effect.
This is a variant of channel energy and works with channeling feats, but never to heal or give control of a creature. This ability replaces replaces sneak attack.
Diminished Spellcasting
A rogue cleric may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Wisdom allows bonus spells of that level.
Divine Disable (Su)
A rogue cleric can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps. This replaces aura.
Saving Throws
Thee rogue cleric has Reflex saving throws in the good category and Fortitude saving throws in the poor category.
Sneak Channel (Su)
When a rogue cleric hits an opponent whom she flanks or who is denied it's Dexterity bonus to armor class against her, she can channel harm into the attack as a free action. Sneak channel works with ranged attacks, but only to a range of 30 ft. If this hits a living or undead creature, that creature takes an amount of additional damage equal to the damage dealt by the channel energy ability. The target can make a Will save to halve this additional damage. If the attack misses, there is no effect. The additional damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. Against improved uncanny dodge, this ability works the same way as sneak attack. Against improved uncanny dodge, this ability works the same way as sneak attack. Channel harm used this way does not count against the daily limit. This replaces the downgrading of channel energy to channel harm.
Evasion (Ex)
At 4rd level and higher, a rogue cleric can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage.
Rogue Talent (Ex)
At level 8, and every 4 levels thereafter, the rogue cleric learns a rogue talent. She uses these talents as a rogue five levels lower than her rogue cleric level. He can learn advanced talents from level 15 onwards. Rogue talents that relate to rogue class abilities the rogue cleric lacks cannot be selected. Rouge talents can be found here.
