Class Features

Divine Health

A Hierophant is immune to all diseases, including magical diseases such as mummy rot and lycanthropy.

Holy Power

A Hierophant adds her Hierophant levels to any relevant divine spellcasting class levels to determine total HD of creatures turned or rebuked, as well as the effects of a spell (such as range, duration or penetration of spell resistance).

Sacred Mind (Ex)

At 2nd level, a Hierophant gains the ability to shrug off magical effects that would otherwise control or compel her. If a Hierophant with Sacred Mind is affected by an enchantment and fails her saving throw, one round later she can attempt her saving throw again. She only gets this one extra chance to succeed at her saving throw.

Divine Body

At 3rd level, a Hierophant becomes immune to poisons of all kinds.

Warded Soul

At 4th level, a Hierophant gains spell resistance. Her spell resistance equals the total levels of all her divine spellcasting classes + 5. The Holy Power ability applies. In order to affect the Hierophant with a spell, a spellcaster must roll the Hierophant’s spell resistance or higher on ld20 + the spellcaster's level.

Divine Spirit

At 5th level, a Hierophant gains to ability to ‘warp’ any spell they cast by exposing it to the raw power of the plane of Shadow. This decision is made at the time of casting, not the time of preparation, and does not affect components, casting time, or any characteristic of the spell except saving throw DC. The save DC is now calculated by 1d20 + spell level + the normal ability modifier. The Spell Focus feat applies, if appropriate. Note that because it is now a d20 roll, an Action Point may be spent to increase the roll as normal.
