[QUOTE="Herosmith14, post: 7310020, member: 6886148"] [SIZE=5]*This subclass has been revised. Latest version is on Page 2 of this thread.[/SIZE] So, I just homebrewed this subclass. I think I did well. I the versatility if built in, and I don't think I ripped off the cleric and paladin too much. The feature I struggled most with was Holy Magic. I had batted that around a bit, and had also thought about a feature akin to the Aasimar's Radiant Soul/Consumption. I figured this was a way to keep up the versatility and not take features from yet another thing. I included Land Druids in Holy magic because druids are also kind of a religious class, and they don't have a Channel Divinity, so.
