Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silveras" data-source="post: 1565376" data-attributes="member: 6271">Favored Soul selects spells from the full Cleric list. The Shugenja has its own list, composed of some Cleric and some Sorcerer/Wizard spells. Each Shugenja has a single element as a specialty, and selects an "Order", so they always learn [1 order spell] + [favored element spells] + [other spells] at any level. The Orders replace the clan-based schools that were in the original version (Oriental Adventures). There are Epic feats, and the book talks about Epic progressions in terms of "here's how you should build Epic progressions for Divine-based classes..." There are no new Epic PrCs that I noted. The Pious Soul, Pious Spellsurge, and Pious Defense feats all use "Faith Points", which you earn by doing things according to the teachings of your Faith. Frequently quoting the holy books of your god, in character, might be worth 1 faith point for the game session. Spending faith points lets you do things, much like some Action Point variants: don't get hit as badly, hit your enemies harder, or increase the caster level of a spell. These are all set off from other feats in a sidebar, and form a Variant. True Believer grants a small benefit to one saving throw per day, but it also allows you to use Relics. Sanctify Relic lets you make Relics. A Relic is a magic item that is somewhat more potent than normal magic items, but not as powerful as an Artifact. It has a thematic tie to one religion, and only people who follow that religion can truly use it. Samples are given for the major core deities, sometime more than one per deity. The weapon used by a famous Paladin of Bahamut, for example, might become a relic, and followers of Bahamut might be able to get the benefits of some additional protection from it while fighting in Bahamut's name.</blockquote>
