Prerequisite: Requires succeeding the Wisdom saving throw in an Ascendant encounter and rolling The Pious.
Ascendant. Your hands come together in holy sacrament, calling forth angels to bless you and your allies in battle, your prayers burning the impious.
As an action, you can utter a prayer of protection over you allies that the impious cannot stand to hear. All friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain 1d4 + your proficiency modifier of temporary hit points, while all enemy creatures within range take the same amount of radiant damage as your fiery words burn their wicked hearts.
You can use this ability once before refreshing it in town using Performing Sacred Rites or Religious Service Downtime actions.
At Higher Levels. The hit die used for the prayer increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.
