Ministering to soldiers and their families as clergy and mediator builds a steady hand for counsel, worship, and grief in the field.

Granted Features

Automatic:

A healer's kit and steady hands let you patch wounds mid-fight, though the same patient can't be treated this way again for a day.

Theological grounding in gods and their servants helps a character recognize divine magic and understand what drives the undead.

As a member of the clergy, you have been responsible for tending to the spiritual and moral well-being of soldiers and their families. While you may have been a follower of a specific deity, you acted as an ambassador of the church overall, providing religious support in a religiously pluralistic and diverse setting. You provided counsel and took on the role of critical friend, mediator, and reconciler for those under your charge. You may have been called to lead worship, perform weddings, and conduct funerals in both nearby villages as well as remote locales.

Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Wisdom or Charisma, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in the Religion skill and the Lore skill associated with the deity you worship. You gain the skill feat.
