UR-PRIEST
Whereas other clerics gain their powers through
service to a deity, there are some who hate the gods.
These ur-priests have learned to siphon divine or
unholy energies granted by deities to their clerics,
using it to their own ends without serving the gods.
Other ur-priests are the clerics of dead gods,
siphoning divine power to cast their spells whilst
working to resurrect their god, or elevate a new deity
to replace it. Ur-priests rarely gather, largely from
wanting to avoid attracting the attention of the gods.
They are frequently solitary, avoiding other divine
spellcasters who see them as an abomination,
although they will often find partnerships with other
classes.
GODLESS CLERIC
Unlike normal clerics, ur-priests do not gain Domain
Spells upon choosing this domain. Also, an Ur-priest
cannot use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus.
BONUS PROFICIENCIES
At 1st level, you become proficient in your choice of
the Deception or Intimidation skill.
RAGE AGAINST THE HEAVENS
Also at 1st level, you can channel your hatred of the
gods, or of the fate of the dead god you served, into
your spellcasting. You can cast Cleric spells as if you
had a spellcasting focus. Additionally, whenever you
use a spell of 1st level or higher that inflicts damage to
a creature, that creature takes additional Necrotic
damage equal to 2 + the spells level.
You cannot use this feature if you are charmed or
frightened.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: INVOKE DOUBT
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to project your hatred or doubt of the gods
into the minds of others.
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
As an action, you can shout curses to the name of
a deity. All creatures of your choice within 30 feet of
you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the
creature fails its saving throw, it is frightened of you
for 1 minute. A creature that does not worship any
deity is immune to this feature. While it is frightened
of you, it cannot cast divine spells, expend Cleric or
Paladin spell slots for abilities, or use Channel Divinity.
SIPHON SPELL POWER
Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to use your
talent for stealing spell energy to manipulate this
energy in ways impossible for other Clerics.
As an action, you can expend two spell slots of
equal level and of 4th level or lower in order to gain
one spell slot of one level higher than the level of spell
slot expended. You cannot expend spell slots gained
with this feature for this feature, and you do not
regain spell slots gained from this feature when you
finish a long rest.
MAGIC RESISTANCE
At 8th level, you can use your abilities at siphoning
magic to drain the power of other creatures spells.
You gain advantage on saving throws against spells
and other magical effects.
STEAL MAGICAL ABILITY
At 17th level, you can use your siphoning abilities to
copy a magical ability from another creature.
Immediately after a creature you can see takes an
action that targets you or includes you in its area of
effect, and which is not a weapon attack or casting a
spell, you can use your reaction to force the creature
to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you
negate the actions effect against you, and you siphon
the magical ability from that creature. For the next 24
hours, you can use the action as often as the creature
can, up to three times per day.
Once you use this feature, you cant use it again
until you finish a long rest.
