Domain Blessings

Table of Contents | Classes | Appendix | Previous Chapter

The domain blessings are listed below. The format lists the domain first and then the name of the blessing after the hyphen. In all cases, "F" refers to the Faith level of the Priest. Anointing blessings require one use of oil and a combined action to apply directly to the target creature. Action blessings cost one power but do not require oil and are invoked as an action or a reaction. Each priest is granted three domain blessings, one for each of the domains of their god. See Gods and Powers for the list of gods and their corresponding blessings.

The priest makes a single Spell Attack and applies the result against each creature in the area.

• On a success, creatures are blinded for 1 round. Critical successes double the duration.
• Undead creatures affected by this light also suffer daylight exposure as appropriate.

Creatures aware of the attack can spend a reaction to close their eyes and avoid the effect.

Creatures already without sight are unaffected.

Transformation - Borrowed Visage

The priest anoints a creature and reshapes their appearance. For the next ten minutes, the creature may alter their face, voice, and superficial features to resemble another humanoid of similar size and shape.

This must be declared before the attack or check is rolled.

War - Press the Advantage

The priest anoints a creature and invokes the rhythm of battle. For the next ten minutes, the first time the creature successfully hits an enemy with an attack, each ally gains +F to their next attack against that same enemy before the end of the next round.

This bonus does not stack with itself. The blessing ends at the end of that round.

Water - Flowing Current

The priest gestures, conjuring a surge of water. Choose a medium or smaller creature within close range (25’). The priest makes a Spell Attack against the creature’s Defense Bonus.
