<h1>Roleplaying the Cleric</h1>
<h2>During Combat Encounters...</h2>
<p>If you're a warpriest, you balance between casting spells and attacking with weapons- typically the favored weapon of your deity. If you're a cloistered cleric, you primarily cast spells. Most of your spells can boost, protect, or heal your allies. Depending on your deity, you get extra spells to heal your allies or harm your enemies.</p>
<h2>During Social Encounters...</h2>
<p>You might make diplomatic overtures or deliver impressive speeches. Because you're wise, you also pick up on falsehoods others tell.</p>
<h2>While Exploring...</h2>
<p>You detect nearby magic and interpret any religious writing you come across. You might also concentrate on a protective spell for your allies in case of attack. After a battle or hazard, you might heal anyone who was hurt.</p>
<h2>In Downtime...</h2>
<p>You might perform services at a temple, travel to spread the word of your deity, research scripture, celebrate holy days, or even found a new temple.</p>
<h2>You Might...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Visit the temples and holy places sacred to your faith, and have an immediate affinity with other worshippers of your deity.</li>
<li>Know the teachings of your religion's holy texts and how they apply to a dilemma.</li>
<li>Cooperate with your allies, provided they don't ask you to go against divine will.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Others Probably...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Find your devotion impressive, even if they don't understand it.</li>
<li>Expect you to heal their wounds.</li>
<li>Rely on you to interact with other religious figures.</li>

<h2>Ancestry and Background</h2>
<p>In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.</p>
<h2>Deity</h2>
<p>As a cleric, you are a mortal servitor of a deity you revere above all others. Your alignment must be one allowed by your deity, as listed in their entry. Your deity grants you the trained proficiency rank in one skill and with the deity's favored weapon. If the favored weapon is uncommon, you also get access to that weapon.</p>
<p>Your deity also adds spells to your spell list. You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list, once you can prepare spells of their level as a cleric. Some of these spells aren't normally on the divine list, but they're divine spells if you prepare them this way.</p>
<p>A list of all deities can be found in the Deities compendium.</p>
<h3><strong>Anathema</strong></h3>
<p>Acts fundamentally opposed to your deity's alignment or ideals are anathema to your faith. Learning or casting spells, committing acts, and using items that are anathema to your deity remove you from your deity's good graces.</p>
<p>If you perform enough acts that are anathema to your deity, or if your alignment changes to one not allowed by your deity, you lose the magical abilities that come from your connection to your deity. The class features that you lose are determined by the GM, but they likely include your divine font and all divine spellcasting. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.7Fd4lxozd11MQ55N]{Atone}</em> ritual.</p>
<h2>Divine Font</h2>
<p>Through your deity's blessing, you gain additional spells that channel either the life force called positive energy or its counterforce, negative energy. When you prepare your spells each day, you can prepare additional <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.rfZpqmj0AIIdkVIs]{Heal}</em> or <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.wdA52JJnsuQWeyqz]{Harm}</em> spells, depending on your deity. The divine font spell your deity provides is listed in the Divine Font entry for your deity; if both are listed, you can choose between <em>heal</em> or <em>harm</em>. Once you choose, you can't change your choice short of an ethical shift or divine intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Healing Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>heal</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<p><strong>Harmful Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>harm</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<h2>Divine Spellcasting</h2>
<p>Your deity bestows on you the power to cast divine spells. You can cast divine spells using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Because you're a cleric, you can usually hold a divine focus (such as a religious symbol) for spells requiring material components instead of needing to use a spell component pouch.</p>
<p>At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and five cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list or from other divine spells to which you gain access and learn via @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.actionspf2e.Q5iIYCFdqJFM31GW]{Learn a Spell}. Prepared spells remain available to you until you cast them or until you prepare your spells again. The number of spells you can prepare is called your spell slots.</p>
<p>As you increase in level as a cleric, the number of spells you can prepare each day increases, as does the highest level of spell you can cast, as shown in Table 3-9: Cleric Spells per Day.</p>
<p>Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or your enemies to roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key ability is Wisdom, your spell attack rolls and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.</p>
<h3><strong>Heightening Spells</strong></h3>
<p>When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-level spells. This increases the spell's level, heightening it to match the spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Cantrips</strong></h3>
<p>A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up-this is usually equal to the highest level of spell you can cast as a cleric. For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<h2>Doctrine</h2>
<p>Even among followers of the same deity, there are numerous doctrines and beliefs, which sometimes vary wildly between clerics. At 1st level, you select a doctrine and gain the benefits of its first doctrine. The doctrines presented in this book are cloistered cleric and warpriest. Each doctrine grants you initial benefits at 1st level. At 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels, you gain the benefits granted by your doctrine's second, third, fourth, fifth, and final doctrines respectively.</p>
<p>Doctrines can be found here (@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.ZZzLMOUAtBVgV1DF]{Cloistered Cleric} and @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.0Aocw3igLwna9cjp]{Warpriest}).</p>

Decree of Herald Binding
entries.Decree of Herald Binding.description
<p>You are bound to an animal companion that embodies the will of your deity and fosters your journey as a cleric of your deity. This animal companion usually takes a form that would be appropriate for your deity such as a lion for Iomedae, a rhinoceros for Gorum or a serpent for Asmodeus (subject to GM discretion). Your animal companion is bound by your deity's edicts and anathema the same as you are and gains a trait that is appropriate for servitors of you deity (such as the fiend trait for Asmodeus or the psychopomp trait for Pharasma). It is the same alignment as your deity and remains in your service as long as you are in their favor. If your animal companion dies or otherwise leaves your service, your deity sends you a new animal companion during your next daily preparations.</p>
<p><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.oHZogoqMxBMZkK3o]{First Decree (1st)}:</strong> You gain an animal companion which serves as an avatar of your deity or one of its servitors called your sacred animal. During an encounter, even if you don't use the Command an Animal action, your animal companion can still use 1 action on your turn that round to Stride or Strike. Choose one blessing of the herald keeper. These blessings alter the animal's abilities or form.</p>
<p><strong>Herald Binding Blessings</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>@Compendium[clerics.clerics-features.pgbJZ6OZes2rzB29]{Blessed Skill}:</strong> Your deity has imprinted the powers of its divine skill onto your sacred animal.

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.0YqK38gYvGK7Dau5]{Body of the Chosen}:</strong> Your deity has blessed the body of your sacred animal. Choose two of the following: acid, cold, electricity, fire, poison, or sonic. Your sacred animal gains resistance equal to half your level against the chosen damage types. In addition, your sacred animal gains a weakness equal to half your level against an opposing alignment of its choice. If your deity is neutral, you gain only one type of resistance and no weakness.</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.hDIh7eVWRaNb5ylq]{Deific Beam}:</strong> Your sacred animal gains a mighty beam of sacred energy they can blast into others. It gains a ranged unarmed attack with a range increment of 30 feet that deals 1d6 negative or positive damage determined by your divine font (harm dealing negative damage, and heal dealing positive damage).

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.WlkkEdIe1YTnkmge]{Font Connected}: </strong>Your deity has connected you and your sacred animal through your divine font.

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.JuSStUhBDOj8Ab82]{Sheathed in Light}:</strong> Your deity has a bestowed light to your companion in the form of a halo, flames, or an aura. It emits bright light from within a 20-foot emanation and dim light 20 feet beyond that (as per the light cantrip). Your sacred animal can suppress or resume this ability by spending a single action, which has the concentrate trait. @Compendium[pf2e.spell-effects.cVVZXNbV0nElVOPZ]{Spell Effect: Light}</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.ouGVUM7xdtdQV5BJ]{Steel-Wielder}:</strong> Your sacred animal gains the ability to manifest your deity&rsquo;s weapon. Your animal companion gains an unarmed attack that has the same damage die and traits as your deity&rsquo;s favored weapon. It can manifest or dismiss this unarmed attack as a single action with the concentration trait and it cannot make Strikes with other unarmed attacks while this unarmed attack is manifested. You can only select this blessing if your deity&rsquo;s favored weapon is a simple weapon or a one-handed martial weapon.</li>

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.UnfJBElaX2FIqDUk]{Chimeric Beast}: </strong>Your sacred animal becomes a hybrid between itself and another type of creature. It gains the support benefit of another animal companion type appropriate to this new form.</li>

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.zodYJM1aAWajF1a2]{Multiheaded Form}: </strong>Your sacred animal's form shifts wildly, giving it multiple heads. Any ability that would sever a sacred animal&rsquo;s (such as the vorpal weapon property) doesn&rsquo;t cause the creature to die if it still has its other head, but does cause it to lose one of its actions when it is given commands. Mental effects that target a single creature affect only one of the sacred animal&rsquo;s heads and the effects apply to only one of its actions each turn. If only one of your sacred animal&rsquo;s heads was severed, it regrows during your next daily preparations when your deity would normally send you a new companion if it died. If your sacred animal would ever gain more than two actions, you decide which head gains the additional action, but action restrictions (such as using Support and attacking in the same turn) apply to both heads.</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.WRikxj5ndmZDXoIB]{Otherworldly Awareness}:</strong> Your sacred animal tenses up and alerts your presence to the unseen.

<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.sON1kEFCk2fRwsqN]{Transcendent Mobility}:</strong> Your deity has blessed your sacred animal with great speed. Your sacred animal increases its Climb Speed, Speed, or Swim Speed by 15 feet.&nbsp;</li>

This damage type must match your deity&rsquo;s alignment and cannot be changed. Your deity must not be neutral to select this blessing.</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.HHAk8QarlRjBj3hg]{Feared by the Other}: </strong>Your sacred animal gains a frightful presence against specific creatures determined by your deities alignment. Your sacred animal&rsquo;s frightful presence applies to aeons if your deity is chaotic, celestials if your deity is evil, fiends if your deity is good, proteans if your deity is lawful, or a thematic creature type chosen by your GM (undead for Pharasma, for example) if your deity is neutral.</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.mojzSyM1N2NcNItT]{Godspeaker}: </strong>Your sacred animal speaks an ancient language that can be understood by all that hear it. It is permanently under the effects of the <em>@Compendium[pf2e.spells-srd.SwUiVavHKMWG7t5K]{Tongues}</em> spell. Once per week, you may commune with your sacred animal to glean divine guidance from it by spending 1 hour in prayer with your sacred animal.

It can transform as a 2-action activity that has the manipulate trait, changing from its usual form into a beast-headed statue of stone or other material appropriate for your god. While your sacred animal is a statue, it can't take any actions except to use the same activity to transform back, and it can't defend itself easily, making it Off-Guard and giving it an additional &ndash;2 status penalty to its AC, but gains resistance 5 to all damage . While in this form, all allies within 30 feet receive a +1 status bonus to attack rolls and to saves against mental effects. Creatures that oppose your deity or are considered enemies of your deity have a -1 status penalty to their AC and Will saves while within 30 feet of your sacred animal.</li>
<li><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.pF7H2e3aOuraS36z]{Sacred Lair} </strong>Your sacred animal creates a small demiplane that you and your allies can enter. It can create a rift to this demiplane (which has an area of 40 feet and resembles the creature's natural habitat) as a 1 minute activity. Delicious and refreshing food and water can be found in this demiplane, and resting here feels supernaturally comfortable. You can leave items in the demiplane and retrieve them later. When you wish to leave the demiplane, you may do so as a 1 minute activity, returning to where you were before you left. When you and your allies rest within your sacred animal&rsquo;s lair, you regain twice the number of Hit Points you normally would and you gain a +2 status bonus to saves against diseases that are afflicting you or your allies.</li>

<p><em>Deities work their will upon the world in infinite ways, and you serve as one of their most stalwart mortal servants. Blessed with divine magic, you live the ideals of your faith, adorn yourself with the symbols of your church, and train diligently to wield your deity's favored weapon.

<h1>Roleplaying the Cleric</h1>
<h2>During Combat Encounters...</h2>
<p>If you're a warpriest, you balance between casting spells and attacking with weapons- typically the favored weapon of your deity. If you're a cloistered cleric, you primarily cast spells. Most of your spells can boost, protect, or heal your allies. Depending on your deity, you get extra spells to heal your allies or harm your enemies.</p>
<h2>During Social Encounters...</h2>
<p>You might make diplomatic overtures or deliver impressive speeches. Because you're wise, you also pick up on falsehoods others tell.</p>
<h2>While Exploring...</h2>
<p>You detect nearby magic and interpret any religious writing you come across. You might also concentrate on a protective spell for your allies in case of attack. After a battle or hazard, you might heal anyone who was hurt.</p>
<h2>In Downtime...</h2>
<p>You might perform services at a temple, travel to spread the word of your deity, research scripture, celebrate holy days, or even found a new temple.</p>
<h2>You Might...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Visit the temples and holy places sacred to your faith, and have an immediate affinity with other worshippers of your deity.</li>
<li>Know the teachings of your religion's holy texts and how they apply to a dilemma.</li>
<li>Cooperate with your allies, provided they don't ask you to go against divine will.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Others Probably...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Find your devotion impressive, even if they don't understand it.</li>
<li>Expect you to heal their wounds.</li>
<li>Rely on you to interact with other religious figures.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Ancestry and Background</h2>
<p>In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.</p>
<h2>Deity</h2>
<p>As a cleric, you are a mortal servitor of a deity you revere above all others. Your alignment must be one allowed by your deity, as listed in their entry. Your deity grants you the trained proficiency rank in one skill and with the deity's favored weapon. If the favored weapon is uncommon, you also get access to that weapon.</p>
<p>Your deity also adds spells to your spell list. You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list, once you can prepare spells of their level as a cleric. Some of these spells aren't normally on the divine list, but they're divine spells if you prepare them this way.</p>
<p>A list of all deities can be found in the Deities compendium.</p>
<h3><strong>Anathema</strong></h3>
<p>Acts fundamentally opposed to your deity's alignment or ideals are anathema to your faith. Learning or casting spells, committing acts, and using items that are anathema to your deity remove you from your deity's good graces.</p>
<p>If you perform enough acts that are anathema to your deity, or if your alignment changes to one not allowed by your deity, you lose the magical abilities that come from your connection to your deity. The class features that you lose are determined by the GM, but they likely include your divine font and all divine spellcasting. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.7Fd4lxozd11MQ55N]{Atone}</em> ritual.</p>
<h2>Divine Font</h2>
<p>Through your deity's blessing, you gain additional spells that channel either the life force called positive energy or its counterforce, negative energy. When you prepare your spells each day, you can prepare additional <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.rfZpqmj0AIIdkVIs]{Heal}</em> or <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.wdA52JJnsuQWeyqz]{Harm}</em> spells, depending on your deity. The divine font spell your deity provides is listed in the Divine Font entry for your deity; if both are listed, you can choose between <em>heal</em> or <em>harm</em>. Once you choose, you can't change your choice short of an ethical shift or divine intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Healing Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>heal</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<p><strong>Harmful Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>harm</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<h2>Divine Spellcasting</h2>
<p>Your deity bestows on you the power to cast divine spells. You can cast divine spells using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Because you're a cleric, you can usually hold a divine focus (such as a religious symbol) for spells requiring material components instead of needing to use a spell component pouch.</p>
<p>At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and five cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list or from other divine spells to which you gain access and learn via @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.actionspf2e.Q5iIYCFdqJFM31GW]{Learn a Spell}. Prepared spells remain available to you until you cast them or until you prepare your spells again. The number of spells you can prepare is called your spell slots.</p>
<p>As you increase in level as a cleric, the number of spells you can prepare each day increases, as does the highest level of spell you can cast, as shown in Table 3-9: Cleric Spells per Day.</p>
<p>Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or your enemies to roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key ability is Wisdom, your spell attack rolls and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.</p>
<h3><strong>Heightening Spells</strong></h3>
<p>When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-level spells. This increases the spell's level, heightening it to match the spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Cantrips</strong></h3>
<p>A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up-this is usually equal to the highest level of spell you can cast as a cleric. For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<h2>Doctrine</h2>
<p>Even among followers of the same deity, there are numerous doctrines and beliefs, which sometimes vary wildly between clerics. At 1st level, you select a doctrine and gain the benefits of its first doctrine. The doctrines presented in this book are cloistered cleric and warpriest. Each doctrine grants you initial benefits at 1st level. At 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels, you gain the benefits granted by your doctrine's second, third, fourth, fifth, and final doctrines respectively.</p>

entries.Decree of Herald Binding.description
<p>You are bound to an animal companion that embodies the will of your deity and fosters your journey as a cleric of your deity. This animal companion usually takes a form that would be appropriate for your deity such as a lion for Iomedae, a rhinoceros for Gorum or a serpent for Asmodeus (subject to GM discretion). Your animal companion is bound by your deity's edicts and anathema the same as you are and gains a trait that is appropriate for servitors of you deity (such as the fiend trait for Asmodeus or the psychopomp trait for Pharasma). It is the same alignment as your deity and remains in your service as long as you are in their favor. If your animal companion dies or otherwise leaves your service, your deity sends you a new animal companion during your next daily preparations.</p>
<p><strong>@UUID[Compendium.clerics.clerics-features.oHZogoqMxBMZkK3o]{First Decree (1st)}:</strong> You gain an animal companion which serves as an avatar of your deity or one of its servitors called your sacred animal. During an encounter, even if you don't use the Command an Animal action, your animal companion can still use 1 action on your turn that round to Stride or Strike. Choose one blessing of the herald keeper. These blessings alter the animal's abilities or form.</p>
<p><strong>Herald Binding Blessings</strong></p>

While in this form, all allies within 30 feet receive a +1 status bonus to attack rolls and to saves against mental effects. Creatures that oppose your deity or are considered enemies of your deity have a -1 status penalty to their AC and Will saves while within 30 feet of your sacred animal.</li>

<p>If you're a warpriest, you balance between casting spells and attacking with weapons- typically the favored weapon of your deity. If you're a cloistered cleric, you primarily cast spells. Most of your spells can boost, protect, or heal your allies. Depending on your deity, you get extra spells to heal your allies or harm your enemies.</p>
<h2>During Social Encounters...</h2>
<p>You might make diplomatic overtures or deliver impressive speeches. Because you're wise, you also pick up on falsehoods others tell.</p>
<h2>While Exploring...</h2>
<p>You detect nearby magic and interpret any religious writing you come across. You might also concentrate on a protective spell for your allies in case of attack. After a battle or hazard, you might heal anyone who was hurt.</p>
<h2>In Downtime...</h2>
<p>You might perform services at a temple, travel to spread the word of your deity, research scripture, celebrate holy days, or even found a new temple.</p>
<h2>You Might...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Visit the temples and holy places sacred to your faith, and have an immediate affinity with other worshippers of your deity.</li>
<li>Know the teachings of your religion's holy texts and how they apply to a dilemma.</li>
<li>Cooperate with your allies, provided they don't ask you to go against divine will.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Others Probably...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Find your devotion impressive, even if they don't understand it.</li>
<li>Expect you to heal their wounds.</li>
<li>Rely on you to interact with other religious figures.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Ancestry and Background</h2>
<p>In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.</p>
<h2>Deity</h2>
<p>As a cleric, you are a mortal servitor of a deity you revere above all others. Your alignment must be one allowed by your deity, as listed in their entry. Your deity grants you the trained proficiency rank in one skill and with the deity's favored weapon. If the favored weapon is uncommon, you also get access to that weapon.</p>
<p>Your deity also adds spells to your spell list. You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list, once you can prepare spells of their level as a cleric. Some of these spells aren't normally on the divine list, but they're divine spells if you prepare them this way.</p>
<p>A list of all deities can be found in the Deities compendium.</p>
<h3><strong>Anathema</strong></h3>
<p>Acts fundamentally opposed to your deity's alignment or ideals are anathema to your faith. Learning or casting spells, committing acts, and using items that are anathema to your deity remove you from your deity's good graces.</p>
<p>If you perform enough acts that are anathema to your deity, or if your alignment changes to one not allowed by your deity, you lose the magical abilities that come from your connection to your deity. The class features that you lose are determined by the GM, but they likely include your divine font and all divine spellcasting. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.7Fd4lxozd11MQ55N]{Atone}</em> ritual.</p>
<h2>Divine Font</h2>
<p>Through your deity's blessing, you gain additional spells that channel either the life force called positive energy or its counterforce, negative energy. When you prepare your spells each day, you can prepare additional <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.rfZpqmj0AIIdkVIs]{Heal}</em> or <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.wdA52JJnsuQWeyqz]{Harm}</em> spells, depending on your deity. The divine font spell your deity provides is listed in the Divine Font entry for your deity; if both are listed, you can choose between <em>heal</em> or <em>harm</em>. Once you choose, you can't change your choice short of an ethical shift or divine intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Healing Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>heal</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<p><strong>Harmful Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>harm</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<h2>Divine Spellcasting</h2>
<p>Your deity bestows on you the power to cast divine spells. You can cast divine spells using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Because you're a cleric, you can usually hold a divine focus (such as a religious symbol) for spells requiring material components instead of needing to use a spell component pouch.</p>
<p>At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and five cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list or from other divine spells to which you gain access and learn via @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.actionspf2e.Q5iIYCFdqJFM31GW]{Learn a Spell}. Prepared spells remain available to you until you cast them or until you prepare your spells again. The number of spells you can prepare is called your spell slots.</p>
<p>As you increase in level as a cleric, the number of spells you can prepare each day increases, as does the highest level of spell you can cast, as shown in Table 3-9: Cleric Spells per Day.</p>
<p>Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or your enemies to roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key ability is Wisdom, your spell attack rolls and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.</p>
<h3><strong>Heightening Spells</strong></h3>
<p>When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-level spells. This increases the spell's level, heightening it to match the spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Cantrips</strong></h3>
<p>A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up-this is usually equal to the highest level of spell you can cast as a cleric. For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<h2>Doctrine</h2>
<p>Even among followers of the same deity, there are numerous doctrines and beliefs, which sometimes vary wildly between clerics. At 1st level, you select a doctrine and gain the benefits of its first doctrine. The doctrines presented in this book are cloistered cleric and warpriest. Each doctrine grants you initial benefits at 1st level. At 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels, you gain the benefits granted by your doctrine's second, third, fourth, fifth, and final doctrines respectively.</p>
<p>Doctrines can be found here (@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.ZZzLMOUAtBVgV1DF]{Cloistered Cleric} and @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.0Aocw3igLwna9cjp]{Warpriest}).</p>
<h2>Initial Proficiencies</h2>

<h2>Ability Boosts<span style="float: right;">Level 5</span></h2>
<p>At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you boost four different ability scores. You can use these ability boosts to increase your ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it's already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts out below 18.</p>
<h2>Alertness<span style="float: right;">Level 5</span></h2>
<p>You remain alert to threats around you. Your proficiency rank for Perception increases to expert.</p>

<h2>Divine Defense<span style="float: right;">Level 13</span></h2>
<p>Your training and your deity protect you from harm. Your proficiency rank in unarmored defense increases to expert.</p>
<h2>Weapon Specialization<span style="float: right;">Level 13</span></h2>
<p>You've learned how to inflict greater injuries with the weapons you know best. You deal 2 additional damage with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you are an expert. This damage increases to 3 if you're a master, and to 4 if you're legendary.</p>
<h2>Miraculous Spell<span style="float: right;">Level 19</span></h2>
<p>You're exalted by your deity and gain truly incredible spells. You gain a single 10th-level spell slot and can prepare a spell in that slot using divine spellcasting. You don't gain more 10th-level spells as you level up, though you can take the @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.feats-srd.QDjpZKOrWIV1G8XJ]{Maker of Miracles} feat to gain a second slot.</p>
<p><em>Deities work their will upon the world in infinite ways, and you serve as one of their most stalwart mortal servants. Blessed with divine magic, you live the ideals of your faith, adorn yourself with the symbols of your church, and train diligently to wield your deity's favored weapon. Your spells might protect and heal your allies, or they might punish foes and enemies of your faith, as your deity wills. Yours is a life of devotion, spreading the teachings of your faith through both word and deed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Key Ability: WISDOM</strong></p>
<p>At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Wisdom.</p>
<p><strong>Hit Points: 8 plus your Constitution modifier</strong></p>
<p>You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.</p>

For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<h2>Doctrine</h2>
<p>Even among followers of the same deity, there are numerous doctrines and beliefs, which sometimes vary wildly between clerics. At 1st level, you select a doctrine and gain the benefits of its first doctrine. The doctrines presented in this book are cloistered cleric and warpriest. Each doctrine grants you initial benefits at 1st level. At 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels, you gain the benefits granted by your doctrine's second, third, fourth, fifth, and final doctrines respectively.</p>
<p>Doctrines can be found here (@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.ZZzLMOUAtBVgV1DF]{Cloistered Cleric} and @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.classfeatures.0Aocw3igLwna9cjp]{Warpriest}).</p>

<h2>Miraculous Spell<span style="float: right;">Level 19</span></h2>
<p>You're exalted by your deity and gain truly incredible spells. You gain a single 10th-level spell slot and can prepare a spell in that slot using divine spellcasting.

<p><em>Deities work their will upon the world in infinite ways, and you serve as one of their most stalwart mortal servants. Blessed with divine magic, you live the ideals of your faith, adorn yourself with the symbols of your church, and train diligently to wield your deity's favored weapon. Your spells might protect and heal your allies, or they might punish foes and enemies of your faith, as your deity wills. Yours is a life of devotion, spreading the teachings of your faith through both word and deed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Key Ability: WISDOM</strong></p>
<p>At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Wisdom.</p>
<p><strong>Hit Points: 8 plus your Constitution modifier</strong></p>
<p>You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.</p>
<h1>Roleplaying the Cleric</h1>
<h2>During Combat Encounters...</h2>
<p>If you're a warpriest, you balance between casting spells and attacking with weapons- typically the favored weapon of your deity. If you're a cloistered cleric, you primarily cast spells. Most of your spells can boost, protect, or heal your allies. Depending on your deity, you get extra spells to heal your allies or harm your enemies.</p>
<h2>During Social Encounters...</h2>
<p>You might make diplomatic overtures or deliver impressive speeches. Because you're wise, you also pick up on falsehoods others tell.</p>
<h2>While Exploring...</h2>
<p>You detect nearby magic and interpret any religious writing you come across. You might also concentrate on a protective spell for your allies in case of attack. After a battle or hazard, you might heal anyone who was hurt.</p>
<h2>In Downtime...</h2>
<p>You might perform services at a temple, travel to spread the word of your deity, research scripture, celebrate holy days, or even found a new temple.</p>
<h2>You Might...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Visit the temples and holy places sacred to your faith, and have an immediate affinity with other worshippers of your deity.</li>
<li>Know the teachings of your religion's holy texts and how they apply to a dilemma.</li>
<li>Cooperate with your allies, provided they don't ask you to go against divine will.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Others Probably...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Find your devotion impressive, even if they don't understand it.</li>
<li>Expect you to heal their wounds.</li>
<li>Rely on you to interact with other religious figures.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Initial Proficiencies</h1>

<h2>Ancestry and Background</h2>
<p>In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.</p>
<h2>Deity</h2>
<p>As a cleric, you are a mortal servitor of a deity you revere above all others. Your alignment must be one allowed by your deity, as listed in their entry. Your deity grants you the trained proficiency rank in one skill and with the deity's favored weapon. If the favored weapon is uncommon, you also get access to that weapon.</p>
<p>Your deity also adds spells to your spell list. You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list, once you can prepare spells of their level as a cleric. Some of these spells aren't normally on the divine list, but they're divine spells if you prepare them this way.</p>
<p>A list of all deities can be found in the Deities compendium.</p>
<h3><strong>Anathema</strong></h3>
<p>Acts fundamentally opposed to your deity's alignment or ideals are anathema to your faith. Learning or casting spells, committing acts, and using items that are anathema to your deity remove you from your deity's good graces.</p>
<p>If you perform enough acts that are anathema to your deity, or if your alignment changes to one not allowed by your deity, you lose the magical abilities that come from your connection to your deity. The class features that you lose are determined by the GM, but they likely include your divine font and all divine spellcasting. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.7Fd4lxozd11MQ55N]{Atone}</em> ritual.</p>
<h2>Divine Font</h2>
<p>Through your deity's blessing, you gain additional spells that channel either the life force called positive energy or its counterforce, negative energy. When you prepare your spells each day, you can prepare additional <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.rfZpqmj0AIIdkVIs]{Heal}</em> or <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.wdA52JJnsuQWeyqz]{Harm}</em> spells, depending on your deity. The divine font spell your deity provides is listed in the Divine Font entry for your deity; if both are listed, you can choose between <em>heal</em> or <em>harm</em>. Once you choose, you can't change your choice short of an ethical shift or divine intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Healing Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>heal</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<p><strong>Harmful Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>harm</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<h2>Divine Spellcasting</h2>
<p>Your deity bestows on you the power to cast divine spells. You can cast divine spells using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Because you're a cleric, you can usually hold a divine focus (such as a religious symbol) for spells requiring material components instead of needing to use a spell component pouch.</p>
<p>At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and five cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list or from other divine spells to which you gain access and learn via @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.actionspf2e.Q5iIYCFdqJFM31GW]{Learn a Spell}. Prepared spells remain available to you until you cast them or until you prepare your spells again. The number of spells you can prepare is called your spell slots.</p>
<p>As you increase in level as a cleric, the number of spells you can prepare each day increases, as does the highest level of spell you can cast, as shown in Table 3-9: Cleric Spells per Day.</p>
<p>Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or your enemies to roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key ability is Wisdom, your spell attack rolls and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.</p>
<h3><strong>Heightening Spells</strong></h3>
<p>When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-level spells. This increases the spell's level, heightening it to match the spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Cantrips</strong></h3>
<p>A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up-this is usually equal to the highest level of spell you can cast as a cleric. For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<p>At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you boost four different ability scores. You can use these ability boosts to increase your ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it's already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts out below 18.</p>
<h2>Alertness<span style="float: right;">Level 5</span></h2>
<p>You remain alert to threats around you. Your proficiency rank for Perception increases to expert.</p>
<h2>Ancestry Feats<span style="float: right;">Level 5</span></h2>
<p>In addition to the ancestry feat you started with, you gain an ancestry feat at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter.</p>
<h2>Resolve<span style="float: right;">Level 9</span></h2>
<p>You've steeled your mind with resolve. Your proficiency rank for Will saves increases to master. When you roll a success at a Will save, you get a critical success instead.</p>
<h2>Lightning Reflexes<span style="float: right;">Level 11</span></h2>
<p>Your reflexes are lightning fast. Your proficiency rank for Reflex saves increases to expert.</p>
<h2>Divine Defense<span style="float: right;">Level 13</span></h2>
<p>Your training and your deity protect you from harm. Your proficiency rank in unarmored defense increases to expert.</p>
<h2>Weapon Specialization<span style="float: right;">Level 13</span></h2>
<p>You've learned how to inflict greater injuries with the weapons you know best. You deal 2 additional damage with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you are an expert. This damage increases to 3 if you're a master, and to 4 if you're legendary.</p>
<h2>Miraculous Spell<span style="float: right;">Level 19</span></h2>
<p>You're exalted by your deity and gain truly incredible spells. You gain a single 10th-level spell slot and can prepare a spell in that slot using divine spellcasting. You don't gain more 10th-level spells as you level up, though you can take the @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.feats-srd.QDjpZKOrWIV1G8XJ]{Maker of Miracles} feat to gain a second slot.</p>
<p><em>Deities work their will upon the world in infinite ways, and you serve as one of their most stalwart mortal servants. Blessed with divine magic, you live the ideals of your faith, adorn yourself with the symbols of your church, and train diligently to wield your deity's favored weapon. Your spells might protect and heal your allies, or they might punish foes and enemies of your faith, as your deity wills. Yours is a life of devotion, spreading the teachings of your faith through both word and deed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Key Ability: WISDOM</strong></p>
<p>At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Wisdom.</p>
<p><strong>Hit Points: 8 plus your Constitution modifier</strong></p>
<p>You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.</p>
<h1>Roleplaying the Cleric</h1>
<h2>During Combat Encounters...</h2>
<p>If you're a warpriest, you balance between casting spells and attacking with weapons- typically the favored weapon of your deity. If you're a cloistered cleric, you primarily cast spells. Most of your spells can boost, protect, or heal your allies. Depending on your deity, you get extra spells to heal your allies or harm your enemies.</p>
<h2>During Social Encounters...</h2>
<p>You might make diplomatic overtures or deliver impressive speeches. Because you're wise, you also pick up on falsehoods others tell.</p>
<h2>While Exploring...</h2>
<p>You detect nearby magic and interpret any religious writing you come across. You might also concentrate on a protective spell for your allies in case of attack. After a battle or hazard, you might heal anyone who was hurt.</p>
<h2>In Downtime...</h2>
<p>You might perform services at a temple, travel to spread the word of your deity, research scripture, celebrate holy days, or even found a new temple.</p>
<h2>You Might...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Visit the temples and holy places sacred to your faith, and have an immediate affinity with other worshippers of your deity.</li>
<li>Know the teachings of your religion's holy texts and how they apply to a dilemma.</li>
<li>Cooperate with your allies, provided they don't ask you to go against divine will.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Others Probably...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Find your devotion impressive, even if they don't understand it.</li>
<li>Expect you to heal their wounds.</li>
<li>Rely on you to interact with other religious figures.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Ancestry and Background</h2>
<p>In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.</p>
<h2>Deity</h2>
<p>As a cleric, you are a mortal servitor of a deity you revere above all others. Your alignment must be one allowed by your deity, as listed in their entry. Your deity grants you the trained proficiency rank in one skill and with the deity's favored weapon. If the favored weapon is uncommon, you also get access to that weapon.</p>
<p>Your deity also adds spells to your spell list. You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list, once you can prepare spells of their level as a cleric. Some of these spells aren't normally on the divine list, but they're divine spells if you prepare them this way.</p>
<p>A list of all deities can be found in the Deities compendium.</p>
<h3><strong>Anathema</strong></h3>
<p>Acts fundamentally opposed to your deity's alignment or ideals are anathema to your faith. Learning or casting spells, committing acts, and using items that are anathema to your deity remove you from your deity's good graces.</p>
<p>If you perform enough acts that are anathema to your deity, or if your alignment changes to one not allowed by your deity, you lose the magical abilities that come from your connection to your deity. The class features that you lose are determined by the GM, but they likely include your divine font and all divine spellcasting. These abilities can be regained only if you demonstrate your repentance by conducting an <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.7Fd4lxozd11MQ55N]{Atone}</em> ritual.</p>
<h2>Divine Font</h2>
<p>Through your deity's blessing, you gain additional spells that channel either the life force called positive energy or its counterforce, negative energy. When you prepare your spells each day, you can prepare additional <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.rfZpqmj0AIIdkVIs]{Heal}</em> or <em>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.spells-srd.wdA52JJnsuQWeyqz]{Harm}</em> spells, depending on your deity. The divine font spell your deity provides is listed in the Divine Font entry for your deity; if both are listed, you can choose between <em>heal</em> or <em>harm</em>. Once you choose, you can't change your choice short of an ethical shift or divine intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Healing Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>heal</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<p><strong>Harmful Font</strong> You gain additional spell slots each day at your highest level of cleric spell slots. You can prepare only <em>harm</em> spells in these slots, and the number of slots is equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier.</p>
<h2>Divine Spellcasting</h2>
<p>Your deity bestows on you the power to cast divine spells. You can cast divine spells using the Cast a Spell activity, and you can supply material, somatic, and verbal components when casting spells. Because you're a cleric, you can usually hold a divine focus (such as a religious symbol) for spells requiring material components instead of needing to use a spell component pouch.</p>
<p>At 1st level, you can prepare two 1st-level spells and five cantrips each morning from the common spells on the divine spell list or from other divine spells to which you gain access and learn via @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.actionspf2e.Q5iIYCFdqJFM31GW]{Learn a Spell}. Prepared spells remain available to you until you cast them or until you prepare your spells again. The number of spells you can prepare is called your spell slots.</p>
<p>As you increase in level as a cleric, the number of spells you can prepare each day increases, as does the highest level of spell you can cast, as shown in Table 3-9: Cleric Spells per Day.</p>
<p>Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or your enemies to roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key ability is Wisdom, your spell attack rolls and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.</p>
<h3><strong>Heightening Spells</strong></h3>
<p>When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-level spells. This increases the spell's level, heightening it to match the spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain levels.</p>
<h3><strong>Cantrips</strong></h3>
<p>A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is always automatically heightened to half your level rounded up-this is usually equal to the highest level of spell you can cast as a cleric. For example, as a 1st-level cleric, your cantrips are 1st-level spells, and as a 5th-level cleric, your cantrips are 3rd-level spells.</p>

<h2>Doctrine</h2>
<p>Even among followers of the same deity, there are numerous doctrines and beliefs, which sometimes vary wildly between clerics. At 1st level, you select a doctrine and gain the benefits of its first doctrine. The doctrines presented in this book are cloistered cleric and warpriest. Each doctrine grants you initial benefits at 1st level. At 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels, you gain the benefits granted by your doctrine's second, third, fourth, fifth, and final doctrines respectively.</p>
