Cleric
Base Class: Cleric

Priests of the Sacred Archer Domain are exorcists, wardens, and spiritual demon hunters that either defend shrines as miko and priests or roam demon infested lands hunting those who threaten villages and communities. They channel divine magic through bow and arrow, striking down corruption from afar while protecting artifacts or temples devoted to their god. Their faith is expressed not through sermons, but through precision, resolve, and spiritual clarity.

Level 3: Sacred Archery

You gain proficiency in Longbows, Shortbows, and woodcarver tools as long as you are aren't wearing medium, heavy, or light armor or a shield, unable to use them, class abilities, or cast spells when you equip armor and shields. During combat, you can choose your archery stance.

Elegance. You can use your wisdom modifier for attack and damage rolls, but lose half your movement speed.
Unwavering. You can add your wisdom modifier for ac and dexterity saving throws, but cannot have advantage on attack rolls.

Level 3: Level 3: Channel Divinity: Purifying Arrow

As an action, you can imbue a nonmagical arrow with divine power and make a ranged attack. On a hit, the target takes normal weapon damage plus (proficiency bonus)d10 radiant damage if you are good aligned, necrotic damage if you are evil aligned, and force damage if you are neutral aligned. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or suffer one of the following effects (your choice):

Exorcise. If the target is charmed, possessed, or under magical control, the effect ends. If you choose this option, the damage is instead turned into healing.
Seal. The target’s speed is reduced to 0 for a minute. At the end of each of their turns, they can remake the save to resist the seal.
Expose. The target sheds dim light and cannot benefit from invisibility for a minute. At the end of each of their turns, they can remake the save to resist exposure.

Level 6: Level 6: Spellshot Invocation

When you cast a cleric spell of 1st level or higher with a single target and a range other than Self, you may deliver it through an arrow. Make a ranged weapon attack and on a hit, the arrow deals normal damage and the spell affects the target and the target only. On a miss, the spell slot is not expended, but the action is lost. You can use this feature a number of times equal to proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier per short rest (minimum of 1).

Level 6: Blessed Arrows

Your Blessed Strikes: Divine Strike feature applies to your arrows if it doesn't already. Once on each of your turns when you hit with a bow attack, you deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage that can be added on top of Blessed Strikes. At 14th level, this increases to 2d8 radiant damage. This extra damage doesn't apply to humanoid creature types or constructs.

Level 17: Level 17: Oni and Yokai Hunter

Your spirit and archery becomes perfectly calm and an unshakable anchor of faith.

Dengshanshi. You gain advantage on Concentration checks and you are immune to being frightened or charmed.

Blessed Invocation. When you hit a creature with a Spellshot Invocation, you may choose to maximize the spell’s damage dice once per long rest. If the target is a fiend or undead creature type and you know their name, it doesn't cost a long rest charge if you combine it with Purify Arrow (still requires channel divinity).

Timber Seal. When you reduce a fiend, undead, or possessed creature to 0 HP with a bow attack and they are next to a tree, it is purified and pinned to that tree, preventing resurrection by anything short of a wish. At the cost of a Divine Intervention, you can use this ability as a reaction when they reach 0HP, though it still requires a hit and the Divine Intervention charge is used.
