CLASSES | THE PRIEST

 Spellcasting
1st–level Priest feature
As a conduit for divine power, you are able to cast spells.
Depending on your choice of Divine Archetype, you are able
to cast spells either from the cleric or druid spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the
cleric spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Priest table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Priest table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your spells of 1st–level and higher. To cast one of these spells,
you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast,
choosing from the Cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a
number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your
Priest level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd–level Priest, you have four 1st-
level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Spellcasting score
of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st
or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level
spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-
level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of
prepared spells.
Spellcasting Ability
Your spellcasting ability is either Wisdom or Charisma, and is
sorely dependent on your chosen Divine Archetype. The
power of your spells comes from your faith and emotional
state of mind. You use your spellcasting ability when setting
the saving throw DC for a spell you cast and when making an
attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom or Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom or Charisma modifier
Channel Divinity
2nd–level Priest feature
You gain the ability to channel cosmic energy directly from
yourself, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start
with two such effects: Turn Evil, and an effect determined by
your archetype. Some archetype grant you additional effects
as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.
CLASSES | THE PRIEST
2
The number of times you can use this feature is based on the
level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level,
twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses
when you finish either a short or long rest.
Turn Evil
Each undead or fiend that can see or hear you within 30 feet
of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature
fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes
any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far
away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space
within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its
action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from
an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to
move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Abjure Evil. Starting at 6th level, when an undead or fiend
fails its saving throw against your Turn Evil feature, the
creature is instantly abjured if its Hit Dice are less than your
level in this class. An abjured undead is destroyed, and an
abjured fiend is banished to its home plane.
Character Talent
3rd–level Priest feature
At this level, and again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level, you
gain the benefits of two talents of your choice. These talents
are described in the "Character Talents" document, separate
from this one.
Ability Score Improvement
4th–level Priest feature
When you reach a level that grants this feature, you can
either increase one ability score of your choice by 3, two
ability scores of your choice by 2 and 1 respectively, or three
ability scores of your choice by 1. You cannot use this feature
to increase an ability score above your racial maximum.
Additionally, you can replace one skill, tool, or weapon
proficiency that benefits from your Roguish Mastery feature
with one other skill, tool, or weapon proficiency that doesn't
benefit from the feature.
Cosmic Renewal
6th–level Priest feature
As a bonus action on your turn, you can regain two expended
spell slots, the level of which can be no higher than half of
your proficiency bonus (rounded up). Once you use this
feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it
again.
You can use this feature twice between rests when you reach
12th level, and three times when you reach 18th level.

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed
or frightened, and your concentration can't be broken as a
result of taking damage.
Druid
Whether calling on the elemental forces of nature or
emulating the creatures of the animal world, the archetypal
Druid is an embodiment of nature's resilience, cunning, and
fury. They claim no mastery over nature. Instead, they see
themselves as extensions of nature's indomitable will.
At each indicated Priest level, you add the listed spells to your
spells prepared.

you utilize the Druid spell list, as described in your

Improved Druidcraft
1st–level Druid feature
When you choose this archetype, you gain the druidcraft
cantrip if you don't already know it. This cantrip doesn't count
against the number of cantrips you know.
You can cast the druidcraft cantrip as a bonus action, and you
can choose two options listed instead of one.
Natural Rejuvenation
1st–level Druid feature
When you choose this archetype, you can regain some of your
magical energy by sitting in meditation and communing with
nature. During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots
to recover.
The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or
less than half your Priest level (rounded up), and none of the
slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature
again until you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Shapeshift
2nd–level Druid feature
As a bonus action on your turn, you can use your Channel
Divinity to transform into the shape of either a beast, an
elemental, a plant, or an ooze creature whose Hit Dice is less-
than or equal to your Priest level plus your proficiency bonus.
You can stay transformed for 1 hour, and then revert to your
normal form. You can revert to your normal form earlier by
using a bonus action on your turn, but you automatically
revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
You are classified as a shapeshifter, and any equipment
you are wearing merges into your new form.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class,
race, or other source and can use them if the new form is
physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any
of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your
new form also has that sense.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any
action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of
your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your
concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or
prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell,
such as call lightning, that you've already cast.
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the
creature you transformed into, but you retain your
alignment, personality, and mental statistics. You also
retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in
addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature
has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
When you transform, you assume the creature's hit points.
When you revert to your normal form, you return to the
number of hit points you had before you transformed.
However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit
points, any excess damage carries over to your normal
form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your
normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked
unconscious.
Land's Stride
5th–level Druid feature
When you reach this level, moving through nonmagical
difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also
pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by
them and without taking damage from them if they have
thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.
In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against
plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede
movement, such as those created by the entangle spell.

Channel Divinity: Nature's Sanctuary
9th–level Druid feature
At this level, you can use your Channel Divinity to reveal
yourself as a beacon of the natural world, which makes
certain creatures hesitant to attack you.
When a beast, elemental, ooze, or plant creature attacks you,
that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your
spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a
different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a
successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24
hours.
The creature isn't aware of this effect before it makes its
attack against you, but it is aware of the affect after either
succeeds or fails for the first time.
Natural Resilience
13th–level Druid feature
Starting at this level, you can't be charmed or frightened and
you are immune to poison and disease.

You can benefit from either of your Channel Divinity
features without spending a use of your Channel Divinity.

druid spells, as well as any material components that lack
a cost and aren't consumed by a spell. You gain this benefit
in both your normal shape and your new shape from
Shapeshift.
Paladin
The archetypal Paladin is a warrior priest who has sworn an
oath to bring justice to the world of Sil Minbaz, whether as an
aid to heal the world or as a destroyer of evil. All Paladins
hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and
some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the
