Divine Hierophant
Priest Vaughn Hobb, divine hierophant of Odin
Vessels of holy power, the divine hierophant sees divine magic through both the eyes of a prepared caster, as well as a spontaneous caster. By learning to master both types of divine magic, he learns ways to blend their power to assist in casting more potent magic, as well as learning new ways to channel the power he was given by his divine patron.

Class Features:
Spellcasting: At each level except 1st, 4th, and 7th, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in both a prepared divine casting class and a spontaneous divine casting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained. At 1st, 4th, and 7th level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in your divine spellcasting class with the lowest caster level. For example, a 4th-level cleric/1st-level favored soul who gained one level of divine hierophant would gain increased spellcasting ability as if he had gained a level of favored soul (since that class's caster level is lower than his cleric caster level). If all your divine spellcasting classes have equal caster levels, you can apply this benefit to any of your existing divine spellcasting classes. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained.
Turn Undead: A divine hierophant adds his levels in this class to his cleric levels for all purposes related to turning undead. If the divine hierophant did not possess the ability to turn undead previously, he does not gain it from this class feature.
Animal Companion: A divine hierophant adds his levels in this class to his druid or ranger levels for all purposes related to his animal companion. If the character does not possess an animal companion, he does not gain one from this class feature.
Divine Spell Power (Ex): At 1st level, your caster level for all divine spells increases by 1. It increases again at 4th level, 7th level, and 10th level (to a maximum of +4).
Expanded Spell Knowledge (Ex): At 2nd level, you can select one 0- or 1st-level divine spell from your domain spell lists and add it to the list of divine spells known for a spontaneous casting class, even if you can't yet spontaneously cast spells of that level. (In this case, you would know the spell but wouldn't be able to cast it until you had spell slots of the appropriate level.) You can add another spell from your domain spell lists to your list of spells known every two levels thereafter. At 4th level, this can be a 0-, 1st-, or 2nd-level spell. At 6th level, this can be any spell of 3rd level or lower. At 8th level, this spell can be of 4th level or lower, and at 10th level it can be of 5th level or lower.
Domain Spontaneity (Ex): The divine hierophant gains the ability to spontaneously cast spells from one of his domains, just as he would spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells. This domain must be chosen at 3rd level. The character may spontaneously cast from a second domain of his choosing at 9th level.
Bonus Domain: The character may select a bonus domain from one of his deity's available domains. He gains the granted power of this domain, as well as the ability to cast spells from that domain as if it were one of his original domain choices.
