You are sometimes accompanied by a ghostly advisor, an
unseen but familiar guardian angel that offers wisdom and
courage. Your ghostly companion may be a lost loved one or
fallen comrade, or may just be a likeminded soul that wishes

ceremonies, and serve other mundane religious functions.
If these duties conflict with your adventuring activities, and
if you successfully balance both responsibilities, you may
be rewarded with a temporary action point, which must be
spent before the end of the current adventure. If you act in a
manner contrary to your faith, or gain an incompatable alli-
gence, you may be stripped of this feat.

not have it for your first, the GM should move that Allegiance

).
DIVINE MARRIAGE
Your holy vows include a symbolic marriage to the divine,
and sometimes, you can actually feel the presence of your
divine spouse offering wisdom and protection.
DECORATED VETERAN
Your years of service mean one thing: you’ve survived
enough firefights you can call yourself a professional soldier.
Prerequisite:
Cleric
Prerequisites:
Base attack bonus +5, Knowledge: tactics 8
ranks
Benefit:
Once per day, you may spend at least one minute in
prayer, communing directly with your patron deity. After this
communion, you receive a pool of bonus points equal to 12
+ your Charisma modifier, which can be spent improving the
result of any of the following die rolls:
Benefit:
A number of times per day equal to your Wisdom
modifier (
minimum once daily
), you may add your base
attack bonus as a morale bonus to any saving throw,
Knowledge check or Initiative check. You may also choose
to ‘give’ this bonus to any ally within 30 ft. You must speak
briefly and inspiringly to the ally, and he must be able to see,
hear and clearly understand you. If you grant this bonus to an
ally, he or she must use the bonus within the hour or it is lost.
• Skill checks: Diplomacy, Knowledge (arcane lore, behav-
ioral sciences, civics, theology & philosophy), Treat
Injury
• Will saves. You can also extend the bonus on the Will
save to another willing creature by making a touch
attack.
• The results of a treat injury check or spell, increasing the
amount of HP recovered.
• The results of a turning check.
DIAMOND FIST TECHNIQUE
You are a student of the Indian “vajramushti” school, and
have mastered a deadly boxing technique potent enough to
cave in a strong man’s ribs and kill lesser foes in a single
blow.
You may spend the entire pool of bonus points on enhancing
a single roll, or you may spread their benefit across multiple
rolls. You may choose to spend these bonus points after the
roll has been made, but before the results are adjudicated. If
these bonus points are not spent within an hour, they are lost.
Prerequisite:
Combat Martial Arts, Improved Combat
Martial Arts, Power Attack, Concentration 4 ranks
Benefit:
By spending an action point, you can focus your
ki into your fist, until it becomes as hard and deadly as a
diamond blade. This enhancement lasts until the end of the
encounter. When making any unarmed strike after your hands
have been ki-enhanced, your blows become exceptionally
deadly, penetrating weapons.
Drawback:
Most religions require the cleric to swear vows
of chastity or celibacy when initiating them into the divine
marriage. If the cleric engages in consensual sexual activity
of any kind, he or she loses the benefits of this feat for 24
hours.
Anytime you roll maximum damage on an unarmed strike
(
rolling 6 on d6 for example
), the damage is considered to
have penetrated, and you may roll damage again and add it to
the previous roll. There is no limit to the number of times a
single attack can penetrate. Penetration damage is multiplied
on a critical hit, making this feat potentially very deadly.
ENEMY - ONE ALLEGIANCE
You have one allegiance or group that you detest.
Effect:
You gain +2 to attack and skill checks when
combating your Enemy. When you must deal with your
enemy peacefully, or when you deal with groups allied with
your enemy, you take a –2 to all Charisma based skills.

destroy, nonbelievers.

applies to a different group or Allegiance.

You are well versed in the art of escaping from shackles,
ropes, and other such implements of bondage.
Benefit:
You add any creatures you have chosen as enemies
with your Aligned Zealot feat to the list of creatures you
can turn or rebuke. When turning non-believers, you make
a turning check as an acolyte three levels lower than your
actual ability level. On a successful check, even mortal
enemies can be turned, or may even be destroyed if your
turning check result is impressive enough.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Escape Artist and Sleight
of Hand skill checks.
EVANGELIST
