Past Lives[edit]

File:nopic.jpg Past Life: Cleric You were a Cleric in a past life. You occasionally feel the presence of the divine. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 to the DC's of your Conjuration spells, +1 Turn Undead attempt per rest, and you Turn Undead as if you were two levels higher. This feat can be stacked up to three times.

Past Life: Cleric is a Free Feat, which means it is permanently added to the character that unlocks it and you won't need to choose it, neither at new life nor at level up.

File:nopic.jpg Past Life: Initiate of the Faith You recall more about your past life as a cleric. You have +2 to your Heal skill, and can produce a Healing Word effect five times per rest. Positive energy is channeled to heal light wounds of your target or damage undead for 1d2+2 hit points plus an additional 1d2+2 per two caster levels. Undead who make a successful Will save reduce the damage by half.

Class feats[edit]

Level 1[edit]

  • Turn Undead (active and passive): This feat allows the character to halt, or at higher levels destroy, undead creatures. The character can do this (3 + their charisma modifier) times per day. While turning undead is an active skill, this feat is passive as it adds to the total amount of turns per day. While enhancements from both Cleric and Paladin stack, as far as number and power of turns, the base number of turns do not stack with each other.
  • Cleric: Spontaneous Casting: A Cleric automatically prepares Cure spells at their normal levels in addition to spells prepared normally. This does not take up a spell slot.
