Divine Mind - Do they get normal bonuses from Mantles?

[JDragon]

As the question asks above, does a Divine Mind get the standard bonus abilities of their selected mantles in addition to the Auras?

thanks

Yep.

Yup - Page 10, 3rd paragraph, line 2 "Each mantle has a specific granted ability that you can use."

Edit - sorry, that's page 10, 2nd column, 3rd paragraph, line 2

Third "yes", just adding that they're so not worth it. :\

I dunno, Nifft. Divine Minds are about on par with Dragon Shamans, but a bit more customizable. The auras are a bit stronger, but the other powers are a bit weaker.

Auras would be stronger if they were 1/ at a reasonable radius, and 2/ had a reasonable action to change.

But even if you make the aura 30 ft., Swift action to change at 1st level, that just makes the core problem more obvious: poor class features.

I wanted to like them, honest. But I just couldn't make anything useful out of this class as written.

Divine Minds start very weak (weaker than bards) but get stronger later. At high levels, when they can have 3 auras running and can change them quickly, they rock and bards the barkeeper job.
