Divine Blade

You are the darkest secret of the church. A sacred order who deals death with divine purpose. A traveling assassin under the guise of a priest, nun or other holy person, your holy weapon waits to spill the blood of those who have earned the order's ire. Your duty is that of divine retribution, not mercy.

Man of the cloth

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your time with the church has taught you how to efficiently hide your weapons, armor, and intentions behind the guise of a priest. You are able to wear clothes or robes in order to hide a set of light armor you are wearing. You have advantage on skill checks to conceal weapons or other small objects on your person.

Instruments of the Pious

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the powers of Divine Retribution, allowing you to use your faith to enhance your abilities and slay the enemies of your god. 

Divine Retributions. You learn four divine retributions of your choice, which are detailed under “Divine Retributions” below. Many Divine Retribution enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one Divine Retribution per attack.

You gain an additional divine retribution of your choice at 9th, 13th and 17th level. Each time you gain a new divine retribution, you can also replace one divine retribution you know with a different one.

Wrath Dice. You have three Wrath dice, which are d6s. A Wrath die is expended when you use it. You can regain one of your Wrath Dice if you kill a hostile creature with your sneak attack feature.

You gain another Wrath die at 9th level and one more at 13th and 17 level.

Saving Throws. Some of your Divine Retribution require your target to make a saving throw to resist the Divine Retribution’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Divine Retribution Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Divine Retributions

The Divine Retributions are presented in alphabetical order.
