    HD: d6

    Class skills: A cleric uses the Priest skill set and chooses one other set, as well as an additional skill according to their domain. A cleric gets 4 plus their Intelligence modifier skill points per level.

    Prowess: A cleric gains 2 prowess per level.

    Proficiencies: Clerics are proficient with all simple weapons. Clerics are also proficient with light armor and with light shields. Certain domains grant additional proficiencies.

    Domain: A cleric chooses a domain that belongs to their patron deity. Spells associated with this domain are on the cleric's spell list, and the cleric gains domain powers (at 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, and finally at 20th) from the chosen domain. Domain powers (other than proficiencies and skills gained) are supernatural abilities except where otherwise noted.

    Devotions: A cleric chooses two additional domains that belong to their patron deity. While they do not gain the domain powers of those domains, they do gain access to the spells associated with them.

    Orisons: A cleric knows a number of 0th level cleric spells (orisons) equal to their Charisma modifier. These spells are usable at-will.

    Spellcasting: A cleric casts divine spells, which are drawn from the cleric's domain and devotion spell lists. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. To cast a spell, a cleric must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a cleric's spell is 10 + the spell level + the cleric's Wisdom modifier.

    Like other spellcasters, a cleric can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on the table. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

    The cleric's selection of spells is extremely limited: they only know the spells associated with their domain and with their devotions.

    As noted above, a cleric need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell's level.

    Bonus Feat: At 2nd level, and again at 8th, 14th, and 19th, the cleric gains a bonus [Ritual] feat. The cleric must still meet all requirements for the feat.

    Divine Empowerment: At 5th level, and again at 11th and 17th, you may gain one of the Divine Empowerment abilities associated with your domain or your devotions. These abilities may be selected multiple times, and their effects always stack.

    Domains
    Air
    Spoiler
    Show
    Intrinsic Power: You gain a bonus on saving throws against gas and fog effects (such as acid fog and cloudkill) equal to one-third your cleric level (round down, minimum +1). If the effect does not normally allow a saving throw, you may still make a Fortitude saving throw at a -5 penalty to ignore its effects.

    Domain Skill: Speak Language (Auran)

    Divine Empowerment: You gain a fly speed of 20' (poor). If you already have a fly speed, you may instead increase its speed by +10', or improve its maneuverability class by one step.

    4th level power: You gain a +1 bonus to your touch Armor Class. This bonus increases by 1 for each three cleric levels you possess.

    7th level power: You gain the Scent ability. If you already have Scent, you instead double its effective range.

    10th level power: You gain the ability to turn into a Large air elemental as a standard action. While in this form, you lose all your racial features and physical ability scores. Instead, use the physical statistics and racial abilities for the Large air elemental. You retain your feats and Hit Dice. Your equipment melds into your form and becomes useless. While in this form, you may cast spells from this domain and spells with the [Air] or [Electricity] descriptor, but may not cast any other spells. You may assume elemental form once per day, and it lasts for a number of hours equal to your Charisma modifier or until you dismiss it (a standard action), whichever comes first.

    13th level power: You no longer need to breathe to survive. This means you are immune to inhaled poisons, gas-based attacks, and cannot drown, among other things. While you do not need to breathe, you may continue to do so to make use of your scent ability.

    16th level power: Your allies within 30' gain the benefits of this domain's intrinsic power. You may activate or suppress this ability as a free action.

    20th level power: You may activate and deactivate your 10th level power at will. Furthermore your equipment, while melding into your new form, remains functional.

    Domain Spells:
    1st: entropic shield, feather fall, obscuring mist
    2nd: gust of wind, levitate, whispering wind
    3rd: fly, gaseous form, wind wall
    4th: air walk, solid fog, zone of silence
    5th: control winds, overland flight
    6th: control vapor, repulsion
    7th: reverse gravity, wind walk
    8th: control weather, whirlwind
    9th: implosion


    Animal
    Spoiler
    Show
    Intrinsic Power: You gain the ability to speak with animals, as the spell. This ability is an Extraordinary effect and is always active.

    Domain Skill: Knowledge (Nature)

    Divine Empowerment: Your natural attacks gain a +1 enhancement bonus. If they already possess an enhancement bonus from this ability, instead improve that bonus by 1.

    4th level power: You gain an animal companion, as the ranger class feature. Determine your animal companion's abilities by substituting your cleric level -3 for your ranger level.

    7th level power: You gain the ability to turn yourself into any Small or Medium animal and back again a number of times per day equal to half your cleric level, rounded down. Your options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the alternate form special ability, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 10 minutes per cleric level or until she changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.

    While in animal form, the cleric cannot cast spells.

    Any gear worn or carried by the cleric melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. When the cleric reverts to her true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on her body that they previously occupied and are once again functional. Any new items worn in the assumed form fall off and land at the cleric's feet.

    The form chosen must be that of an animal the cleric is familiar with.

    A cleric loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but she can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as her new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)

    The new form's Hit Dice can't exceed the character's cleric level.

    10th level power: You gain two claw attacks and a bite attack. The claw attacks deal 1d6 damage, and the bite attack deals 1d8. If you already have bite or claw attacks, instead increase their die size by one step. For the purposes of using multiple natural weapons, your claws are your primary natural attack. When you use your ability to assume the shape of an animal, you lose these natural attacks as you would any other natural attacks you possess in your natural form.

    13th level power: You may turn into Tiny and Large animals with the change shape feature you gained at 7th level.

    16th level power: While in animal shape, you may cast spells from this domain without penalty.

    20th level power: You may designate a number of allies within 30' not surpassing your Charisma modifier when activating your animal form. You may bestow upon them each an animal form as well. All animal forms must be the same form at the time of your activation.

    Domain Spells:
    1st: calm animals, speak to animals, summon nature's ally I
    2nd: animal messenger, feral might, summon nature's ally II
    3rd: dominate animal, repel vermin, summon nature's ally III
    4th: animal growth, giant vermin, summon nature's ally IV
    5th: awaken, summon nature's ally V
    6th: mass feral might, summon nature's ally VI
    7th: creeping doom, summon nature's ally VII
    8th: animal shapes, summon nature's ally VIII
    9th: summon nature's ally IX

    Domain Skill: Survival

    Divine Empowerment: Increase the die size for spells with the [Cold] descriptor by one step (d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc.) to a maximum of d12. If a spell already deals damage in d12s, increase the damage by 1 point per die.

    4th level power: You gain cold resistance equal to your cleric level.

    7th level power: Your intrinsic power deals damage in d6s rather than d4s.

Flying creatures within 20 feet of you must make Reflex saves each round (DC 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Charisma modifier) or stall and plummet to the ground.

    Healing
    Spoiler
    Show
    Intrinsic Power: You gain the ability to lay on hands. Each day, you can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to your cleric level plus your Charisma bonus, multiplied by your Charisma bonus (so that a 10th level cleric with 18 charisma would have (10+4)*4=56 points of healing each day). You may choose to divide your healing among multiple recipients, and you don't have to use it all at once. Using this ability is a standard action. The caster level for this effect and effects powered by it (if required) is equal to your cleric level. If you have paladin levels, you instead stack your paladin and cleric levels to determine the power and abilities of your lay on hands ability.

    Domain Skill: Heal

    Divine Empowerment: Treat your Charisma score as if it were two points higher when determining the power of your Healing domain abilities.

    4th level power: By spending 15 points of healing from your lay on hands ability, you may remove disease, as the spell.

    7th level power: Increase the die size for spells with the [Healing] descriptor by one step (d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc.) to a maximum of d12. If a spell already heals damage in d12s, increase the healing by 1 point per die.

    10th level power: The formula to determine your pool of healing for your lay on hands ability changes. You have a total number of points of healing equal to your level plus your Charisma bonus plus your Wisdom bonus, multiplied by your Charisma bonus--so that a 13th level cleric with 24 Wisdom and 20 Charisma would have (13+7+5)*5=125 points of healing.

    13th level power: Whenever you heal a creature who is below maximum Hit Points with one of your [Healing] spells, choose one of the following bonuses:
    • The creature heals extra HP equal to their HD.
    • The creature gains a +1 divine bonus on saving throws for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier.
    • The creature gains the benefit of a sanctuary spell for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier as if it were cast at your cleric level.
    • The creature gains a +10' divine bonus to their land speed for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier.


    16th level power: Increase the die size for spells with the [Healing] descriptor by one additional step (d4 to d6, d6 to d8, etc.) to a maximum of d12. If a spell already heals damage in d12s, increase the healing by 1 point per die.

    20th level power: By spending 30 points of healing from your lay on hands ability, you may cast greater restoration, as the spell.

    Domain Spells:
    1st: cure light wounds, delay poison, status
    2nd: cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, remove paralysis
    3rd: cure serious wounds, remove blindness/deafness, remove disease

    Spoiler
    Show
    Intrinsic Power: You gain the Lore ability. You may make a special knowledge check with a bonus equal to your cleric level + your Intelligence modifier to see whether you knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places.

    A successful lore check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. A cleric may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random.

    DC Type of Knowledge
    10 Common, known by at least a substantial minority of the local population.
    20 Uncommon but available, known by only a few people legends.
    25 Obscure, known by few, hard to come by.
    30 Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don't understand the significance of the knowledge.

    Domain Skill: Knowledge (All skills, taken individually)

    Divine Empowerment: Choose a skill you have as a class skill. You gain skill mastery with that skill. See the rogue ability of the same name.

    4th level power: You gain an additional skill set. Choose one skill set you do not currently possess: skills it grants are now considered part of your cleric skills.

    7th level power: You may spend a move action to make a Lore check. Choose a creature within 60' who you can see clearly. If your Lore check meets or exceeds a DC equal to their Hit Dice, you gain one of the following effects for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier:
    • You gain a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier on checks made to overcome spell resistance for that creature.
    • You gain a bonus on damage equal to your Intelligence modifier on attacks against that creature.
    • You gain a bonus on attack rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier on attacks against that creature.
    • You gain a bonus on saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier against extraordinary and supernatural abilities made by that creature.
    • You gain a dodge bonus to your Armor Class equal to your Intelligence modifier against attacks made by that creature.


    You may only use this ability on one creature at a time. Activating this ability while it is already effective immediately ends the first duration.

    10th level power: When using your 7th level power, you may select two abilities instead of just one.

    13th level power: When using your 7th level power, allies adjacent to you also gain the bonuses granted to you as well.

This ability offers a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Charisma modifier) for half damage.

    Domain Skill: Heal

    4th level power: Undead who fail their Fortitude save against your intrinsic power are also dazzled for one minute. Even though undead are generally immune to dazzling, they are still affected by this power.

    7th level power: You may touch an ally who died due to a [Death] effect and raise them back to their feet. As a standard action, touch an ally who died within a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier who perished due to a [Death] effect: they regain consciousness and are no longer dead.

    So basically, we've come full circle back to the 1e Clerics who only cast from the Spheres of their dieties?

    Awesome!

    Makes them able to fill any roll at character creation without making them flexible enough during the game to make the other classes seem like weak tea.

    I like this. I like this alot. After all, why would a god of the Sun grant the divine ability to cast thing like Freedom of Movement, anyways? Makes more sense.

    Well, you might be able to anyway; depends on what Devotions you have available.

    But only if the appropriate domain is in the Diety's domain list. In other words, if that particular diety places some kind of an emphasis on moving freely, then you would be able to. But if your diety doesn't, then why should he grant an ability outside his purvue? It would be like asking Apollo to create tidal waves or
    Athena to cause blind rage. Doesn't fit the theme of the diety.

    Cold's 13th level power, "Your intrinsic power deals damage in d8s rather than d4s" might should say (yes, I just wrote that) that d6s instead of d4s. By that time, your cleric should be using d6s.

    Courage's Intrinsic power seems a bit uncool (not only passive, but only useful against a specific type of save), it might be okay as a morale bonus to saves in general. Sure, Air's is just as exclusive, but it at least gives you a save where you normally wouldn't get one (or perhaps you can give Air clerics the ability to disperse fog effects instead of their current power).

    Creation is super-cool, just thought I'd say.

    Can a Monk/"Earth Cleric" use their slam attack for their unarmed extravaganza? The slam attack isn't explicitly stated to be a natural attack. (is it?)

    More to come later, perhaps...

    From the looks of it, I'd guess the entire ressurection line will be some sort of rituals? But the Life domain is pretty awesome anyways. By high level, you're bringing back any dead ally within you wisdom modifier of turns, which should be good to really high. And then you can pump some healing into them and they're back in the fight.

    Looks like the cleric isn't an armored melee powerhouse unless devoted to War, which is good. I also like the limited spell selection. Are you accepting homebrewed domains?

    Wow. I've been following your progress reports, anticipating the completed product. And it's amazing. It's fantastic how there's actual variety between clerics, even down to things like amount of prowess, BAB, extra skill sets... I have no experience with 1st edition, so spell spheres are new to me, yet so completely logical. A few questions and comments though:

    It seems a cleric's entire spell-list is determined at 1st level. While this is also true for clerics in 3.5, perhaps some class ability (like the ardent's) to gain extra devotions, change devotions, or switch a domain and devotion could be useful. Then again a cleric could always convert to a new god.

    I like how at-will healing is still straightforward with at-will cure minor wounds, while DMs who don't want that in a campaign can just remove that spell, like Pathfinder.

    It also seems that you've removed the requirement to choose a deity within one step of your alignment, as well as made the deities' alignment ambiguous. I like this, it makes for more flexible character concepts and religious institutions.

    Outside of the Life domain powers, there doesn't seem to be a raise dead or resurrection spell. Is this becoming a ritual feat?

    Domains:
    Air
    4th level: Does the bonus to AC only apply to touch, or to other types of AC? It's an unusual mechanic, so I just want to check.
    10th level: A large air elemental in 3.5 only has the Wis to cast 1st level spells. Are you changing this when you update the monsters? Likewise for the other elemental domains.

    Cold
    10th level: can you still choose to use the ranged touch attack form of your intrinsic power, or is it permanently changed? Likewise with Fire.

    Creation
    Many of the bonus feats are at later levels than when one could otherwise take them. I've gathered elsewhere that this is bad. Would it be broken to allow clerics to gain different feats if they already have the feat for a particular level?

    I'm up to L and haven't noticed anything more, but then it's late.

    Once again, wow. I've been planning to start a RL 3.5 campaign (mostly with people who haven't RPed much), and this has made me decide to try running d20r instead.
    Someday I'll have my anxiety under control, but until then, I'm prone to sudden month-long disappearances.

    I'm actually a little disappointed in this class.

    Don't get me wrong; it's well-written, appears balanced, and seems interesting to play.

    The problem is that I'm not sure how differently a cleric will play from a wizard who has specialised in similar schools of magic. Essentially, my main issue is, what is the difference between this cleric class and a wizard?

    Wow, you re-did the D20 pantheon. You're a braver man than I, Fax. I'm glad to know that you plan on adding fluff to that list of dieties, because the portfolios are intriguing enough to warrant further study.

    Working on the VUACS project gives me great appreciation for the work that goes into making so many new domains. Kudos for the effort.

    I've been waiting for your Cleric-as-it-should-be for months, & this is worth the wait. It's much closer to a Cloistered Cleric but with many more options & all your usual D20r fixes. Zeta happy now.

    I cannot recommend giving out temporal acceleration. It's a power that's rapidly moving toward the banlist of the ToS. I note a lack of turn undead. Is d20r compatible with WotC products and if so how does this interact with the sacred exorcist? Is there a domain I missed that offers turning? If so, how do you keep other classes from acquiring the domain granted power?

    No. Raise dead and similar magics (as well as stuff like contact other plane, undead animation spells, etc) are going to be rituals.

    You get upgraded to d6s at 7th.

    Courage's Intrinsic power seems a bit uncool (not only passive, but only useful against a specific type of save), it might be okay as a morale bonus to saves in general. Sure, Air's is just as exclusive, but it at least gives you a save where you normally wouldn't get one (or perhaps you can give Air clerics the ability to disperse fog effects instead of their current power).
    True. I may change that one yet.

    Can a Monk/"Earth Cleric" use their slam attack for their unarmed extravaganza? The slam attack isn't explicitly stated to be a natural attack. (is it?)
    A 'slam' is a kind of natural attack. I should probably demarcate that, but it's really not necessary.

    I think for now, no. Maybe later, though.

    I'm considering a feat chain that gives you the intrinsic power of one of your devotions, followed by the domain powers of one of your devotions but at 1/2 cleric level, but I'm concerned with balancing it.

    It also seems that you've removed the requirement to choose a deity within one step of your alignment, as well as made the deities' alignment ambiguous. I like this, it makes for more flexible character concepts and religious institutions.
    That was my thinking too.

    4th level: Does the bonus to AC only apply to touch, or to other types of AC? It's an unusual mechanic, so I just want to check.
    10th level: A large air elemental in 3.5 only has the Wis to cast 1st level spells. Are you changing this when you update the monsters? Likewise for the other elemental domains.
    Touch only. That's a good point: I may make it so you keep your own mental ability scores.

    10th level: can you still choose to use the ranged touch attack form of your intrinsic power, or is it permanently changed? Likewise with Fire.
    Ooh, good point. I'll edit that in.

    Many of the bonus feats are at later levels than when one could otherwise take them. I've gathered elsewhere that this is bad. Would it be broken to allow clerics to gain different feats if they already have the feat for a particular level?
    Depending on the feat, yes.

    Wizards get access to entirely different spells. Also, they won't get powers from their academies like the cleric does from their domains--instead, I'm thinking they'll get metamagic.

    Care to enlighten me as to why?

    "Turning" as a mechanic is gone. I've always hated it, and it's not very interesting. [Divine] feats will work by allowing you to turn off your domain's intrinsic power for the duration the feat is active.

    d20r is technically compatible with 3.5, but it runs into a slowdown with a lot of the modifications. It's convertible, but it's really intended to stand alone.

    The closest thing there is to 'turn undead' at this time are the Life and Undeath domain powers.

    How does turning it off for the duration of activation interact with instantaneous effects like Divine Metamagic or some of the burn-turns-for-heals effects?

    Temporal Acceleration is very very powerful, particularly if you allow it augmented. I'm not sure I'm clear, precisely, on how you're handling power costs and the mechanics behind them transparently. Forgive me for prying. A link would do just fine.

    Not being designed to interact with that material, I'd be forced to say that in those instances, they shouldn't be used.

    I know that, but the 13th level power says "instead of d4s," when you should be using d6s. To be honest, I know it's obvious, but the small room there is for confusion is there whether you choose to say instead of d4s or instead of d6s. Probably, the best way to do this is to increase the size of dice like you're doing for spells with the [Cold] descriptor.


    Edit: Similarly, Might's intrinsic ability gets two bonuses, one 2, then 4. Does the total end up at 8 or 10? It might just be me, but I am only "pretty sure" that you want me to get a +10.

    Not really trying to be "peevey" here, it should just be clearly stated whether or not you intend for this to be a natural attack so that there is no confusion.

    Is a "Magic Cleric" able to qualify for Mystic Theurge by himself? It might be more elegant to word his stuff as "You may treat your cleric spellcasting as arcane for the purposes of meeting the requirements of feats and prestige classes. You cannot use this to qualify for the same thing twice. If you enter a prestige class or take a feat with this ability, any benefits that would apply to the arcane casting you qualified with instead improves your cleric casting." I'm sure you could pretty that wording up, but I'm trying to convey the logic of "Cleric = Arcane." (Looking back at your wording, I don't see what I was trying to point out here, if you don't take anything from this, sorry, we'll see if I catch back up to this train of thought later.)

    Magic's 20 ability is significant, sure, but it's not... big enough, I feel. Maybe just make sure that the cleric can use their spell like abilities in an antimagic field in addition to their spells.

    Out of curiosity, will Cure spells still have a range of touch? Clerics have become a lot more fragile in this revision, so you may want to consider giving clerics the ability to heal from a distance (especially at lower levels). I mean, not only do "we" have a smaller hit dice (d8->d6), we don't get our heavy or even medium armor... what's more, we're weaker attackers by default. (and I'm not trying to complain. Your cleric is probably just as squishy as a 3.5 rogue is expected to be.)

    I'll address more domains tonight.

    The Tree-God of Nature's Wrath offers 5 domains and every other god offers only 4. Maybe you should take Fire off of his list. Water, Air, Plant and Earth fit together to me, but Fire seems out of place. Or you could add a 5th domain to each god, but that seems like a lot more work to balance.

    edit: I didn't mean to make that sound so critical. I am a big fan of your work, and the cleric looks great.

    Actually, he's got 5 because he stole one from someone else. Mechanically, he has five because I wanted to put all the elementals together, and it was silly to have a tree god who didn't have access to the Plant domain.

    Yes, that's the reason. Not because he's an evil tree with access to elemental powers for some reason.

    So are you going to make any more gods or accept submissions from others?

    Creation, War, Trickery, Travel and Undeath were only available from one god in each case. There may have been other domains like that that I missed. Or did you plan that there would be domains only available from one god?

    Why does Semisa, Goddess of Life and Reincarnation, have Undeath on her list? Undead is, by definition, stepping outside the bounds of Reincarnation. I'd have figured they would be highest on her Hit Parade of Bad Things, much like Kelumvor.
