Priest

P
riests are devoted to the spiritual, and express
their unwavering faith by serving the people.
For millennia they have left behind the confines
of their temples and the comfort of their shrines
so they can support their allies in war-torn
lands. In the midst of terrible conflict, no hero
questions the value of the priestly orders. These
masters of the healing arts keep their companions fighting far
beyond their normal capacities with an array of restorative
powers and blessings. The divine forces at the priest’s
command can also be turned against foes, smiting them with
holy fury. As light cannot exist without darkness, and
darkness without light, some priests tap into shadow to
better understand their own abilities, as well as the abilities
of those who threaten them.
The Divine
It is faith in ourselves that separates us from others, and with
our powers, we will cause great change in every realm. The
weak will come to lean on you. The lepers will call you Lord.
And the ignorant will look to you for guidance. Priest's
harness the power of the divine in hope to restore their world
back to true order.
Holy Worshippers
Priest's are devoted followers to their chosen god or diety,
spending the majority of their life fulfilling their duty to their
diety. Well adversed in the realm of magic and medicine, the
priest channels ancestral magic to amplify their already
strong magical power.
Creating a Priest
As you are creating your priest, keep in mind which god or
diety you follow. Is it a god feeding you objectives to complete
in order to serve them? Did you humbly select your god to
worship or did some form of power or diety come to you
either in seek of help or in desperation to control you. Are you
going to heal and protect your allies from the back line or
cast spells to torment your enemies minds.
Quick Build
You can make a priest quickly by following thse suggestions.
First, Intellegence should be your highest ability score,
followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second choose the
sage or acolyte background.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your priest spells.
You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a priest spell
you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a priest spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual
tag and you have the spell prepared.
Power Infusion
Starting at 5th level, as an action you are able to channel the
power of your diety to bless a creature within 60 feet,
granting them advantage and additional damage on all
attacks and spells equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum one) until the start of your next turn. You regain
use of this feature after you finish a short or long rest.
Clarity of Will
Starting at 10th level, you are able to create divine barriers to
protect allies. As a reaction, you are able to create a magical
barrier around a creature within 30 feet, until the start of
their next turn they have +5 AC. This feature can be used
once per short rest.

Spellcasting Focus Holy Fervor

You can use a holy symbol (see chapter 5, "Equipment") as a Starting at 17th level, you can use your action to make a
spell casting focus for your priest spells. creature that you can see make an Intelligence saving throw.

Purify the start of your next turn. If the creature has an allignment
Adept in the knowledge of a creature's energy, twice per day of any type of evil it automatically fails the saving throw.
during a short rest you are able to cleanse a willing creature's
body. Doing so, removes all desease or conditions currently
effecting them.
Divine Disciplines
At first level. chose a pathway paved by your diety in order to
protect others from the hands of pure evil. Choose a
discipline of Holy, Shadow, blank in order to self-righteously
restore your realm to order. Each discipline is detailed at the
end of the class description and each one provides examples
of gods associated with it. Your choice grants your discipline
spells and other features wqhen you choose it at 2nd level. It
also grants you features at 2nd level and additional benefits
at 6th, 14th and 18th level.
Discipline Spells
Each discipline has a list of spells—its discipline spells—that
you gain at the priest levels noted in the discipline
description. Once you gain a discipline spell, you always have
it prepared and it doesn't count against the number of spells
you can prepare each day. If you have a discipline spell that
doesn't appear on the priest spell list, the spell is nonetheless
a priest spell for you.
Eternal Servitude
At second level, your diety or god blesses you once per long
rest, allowing you to cast a spell without expending a spell
slot (maximum 3rd level spell slot). This number of times you
are blessed per day increases to twice when you reach 11th
level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see
Chapter 6 for a list of feats).

Divine Intervention
When you reach 20th level, you ascend to a higher form of
devotion, unlocking a small fragment of your diety's ancestral
power. As a reaction, when an ally within 30 feet of you take
damage, knocking them unconcious. Restore them back to
life with HP equal to half their hit die. This ancestral magic
can be used once day.
Divine Disciplines
Priests are masters of healing and preservation. Infused with
the Light, they can restore their wounded allies, shield them
in battle, and even resurrect them. While they have a variety
of protective and enhancement spells to bolster their allies,
they can also wreak terrible vengeance on their enemies,
using the grand powers of the holy light to smite and purge,
or the devastating powers of the shadow to decimate their
minds
Holy
After spending much of their lives in temples studying
ancient doctrine, preaching the tenets of their faith, and
pledging their full devotion to the divine powers they follow,
the most adept priests leave their houses of worship to serve
on the battlefield, as shepherd to flock. There, they use their
holy powers to bless allies and mend wounds. And while
most stay behind the frontlines to aid their comrades, these
holy champions are also capable of smiting foes and carrying
out sacred justice. They’re also morally opposed to the use of
Shadow and Void magic—rather, they are exemplars of the
incredible grace and power of the divine and the Light, and
even death cannot fully stop their healing capabilities.
Holy Discipline Spells
Priest Level Spells
1st bless, cure wounds
3rd lesser restoration, spiritual weapon
5th beacon of hope, revivify
7th death ward, guardian of faith
9th mass cure wounds, raise dead
Divine Blessing
At first level your healing spells are more effective. Whenever
you use a spell to restore hit points to a creature, the creature
regains additional hitpoints equal to the spell's level + your
intelligence modifier.
Proficient Healer
Starting at second level, you have advantage on all medicine
checks that relate to humanoids and two other monster types
of your choice.
Salvation
Starting at 6th level, your admiration towards companions
strengthen. Your movement speed is doubled when moving
towards an injured ally with the intent of healing. Failure to
heal wounded ally results in the loss of your action for that
turn.
Shared Healing
Starting at 14th level, the healing spells you cast on others
heal you as well. When you cast a spell that restores hit
points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points
equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Beacon of Life
Starting at 18th level, any number of creatures (up to your
Intelligence modifier) within 30 feet are under the effect of
the spell beacon of hope. A creature that is not on the same
plane as you cannot benefit from this feature.
Shadow
The Light in which many priests bathe is brilliant and
effervescent, granting them immense divine power. But the
brightest light casts the darkest shadow—and from within
this blackness, a rival power dwells. Shadow priests fully
embrace this opposing polarity, their faith equally resolute as
their holy counterparts—but focused on shadowy magics and
mental manipulation. Like all priests, they dedicate much of
their lives to worship—but they derive their power from the
Void, straying dangerously close to the domain of the Old
Gods. To truly understand such ancient, corruptive influence
is to be driven mad. This is the state in which these dark
priests thrive, embracing insanity and feeding off of the
minds of their opponents to reach terrifying new limits.
Shadow Discipline Spells
Priest Level Spells
1st charm person, sleep
3rd mirror image, pass without trace
5th fireball, dispel magic
7th dimension door, greater invisibility
9th dominate person, modify memory
Mind Spike
At first level, you can use a bonus action when casting a spell
that does damage. Roll one additional damage die of the
casted spell and add it as psychic damage. When you reach
11th level, roll two additional die. This feature can be used a
number of times equal to your intelligence modifier.
Shadow Covenant
Being adept in the powers of the mind you are able to shape
people's opinions and desicions to allign with your own.
Starting at 2nd level, you become proficient in Insight and
Persuasion. If you are already proficient in either, your
proficiency bonus is doubled.
Adaptive Mind
Even the simplest physical techniques require a deep
understanding of how ancestral magic can augment mind
and body. This understanding allows you to alter your
defenses to better deal with threats. Starting at 6th level, you
can replace your proficiency in Intelligence saving throws
whenever you finish a short or long rest. To do so, choose
Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, or Charisma. You gain
proficiency in saves using that ability, instead of Intelligence.
This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest.
Mind's Edge
As your devoutment powers grow in strength, you learn how
to remain focused even when being attacked or wounded.
Starting at 14th level, when concentrating on a spell, you may
add your Intelligence modifier to the saving throw that
dictates whether or not you can maintain concentration when
being attacked.
Mind Control
At 18th level, you have learned the most important teaching
of the shadowform: it's not how you use your power in a
battle, it's how you use your adversary's power against them.
You can use your reaction when you are targeted by a spell
that deals damage to redirect it to the original caster. You
must make a roll using your Intelligence modifier, to beat a
DC of 10 + the level of the spell you're trying to redirect. The
redirected spell's new point of origin is the original spell
caster. If it had a saving throw, it uses your spell DC now, if it
needs an attack roll, you make that roll with your spell attack.
If the spell fails to redirect, you take additional psychic
damage equal to the spell's damage die multiplied by half of
the spell's level. You can only use this feature once per long
rest.
