Jump to: navigation, search

The Alexandrian Church is ancient, monolithic, omnipresent, and holds a near-monopoly on Divine power in the mainland. Over that period, members of the Church have learned a dazzling array of ways to harness Divine energy.

The Arcane Disciple is a specialist cleric class. Arcane Disciples have studied the arcane arts and the fabric of divine magic to the point that they are able to mimic some arcane spells using divine energy, although only to a minor extent.


A player may choose to advance as a cleric OR one type of specialist cleric, but not both. A specialist cleric class otherwise counts as a cleric for the purposes of prestige classes, feats, etc.

Class Features

Arcane to Divine (Ex): The Arcane Disciple may chose one arcane spell from the bard or sor/wiz list. The spell must be one level lower than the highest level divine spell the character may cast. The arcane disciple may add this spell to his or her normal clerical list, and may cast it as a divine spell like any other. Likewise, all the spell from the Magic domain are added to her spell list, although she does not gain the Magic Domain itself.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Arcane Disciples are proficient with all simple weapons. They are also proficient with light and medium armor, and shields (except tower shields)

Bonus Feat: Bonus feats must be metamagic or item creation feats.
