Line 114: Line 113:


Clerics meditate or pray for their spells. Each cleric must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a cleric can prepare spells. A cleric may prepare and cast any spell on the cleric spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

===Domains===

Beginning at 1st level, and even before, during character creation, a cleric's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her.  
At character creation, a cleric's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her, and this is expressed through Divine Domains.  


During character creation a cleric chooses two domains from among those belonging to her deity. A cleric can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if her alignment matches that domain. If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects two domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval). The restriction on alignment domains still applies.

=== Channel Divinity (Su) ===

=== Bonus Cleric Feat ===
Beginning at 2nd level, and every four levels thereafter, the Cleric may choose a bonus feat.  This feat may be anything for which the Cleric meets the prerequisites at the time the feat is chosen.  Clerics are advised, however, to consider at least some metamagic feats, in order to make use of their higher level spells slots, especially at epic levels.

Beginning at 2nd level, when adjacent to an injured ally, Clerics add their WIS modifier to their attack and damage rolls for melee attacks. "Injured" means "has taken damage from an enemy".  For clarity, normal damage, subdual damage, negative levels, or ability damage all count for this ability to function.

Beginning at 2nd level, during combat, as a swift action, the cleric may expend a use of his Channel Divinity power to trigger Castigate until the end of the encounter.  While castigate is running the cleric adds their CHA modifier to attack and damage rolls for melee attacks, and all successful melee attacks heal a single adjacent ally a number of points equal to the Cleric's level + her WIS modifier.  A Cleric who uses the '[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat#TOC-Aid-Another aid another]' action in combat to grant a bonus to an ally counts as attacking for purposes of Castigate's healing ability.

===Hallowed Weapon (Ex)===
=== Hallowed Weapon (Ex) ===
Beginning at 4th level, the Cleric may pray over his weapon, and instead of dealing bonus damage equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any), he gains double the enhancement bonus (round down). This applies to damage rolls only. Attack rolls are still only increased by the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any). A Hallowed weapon also counts as brandishing the Cleric's holy symbol. Making a weapon hallowed requires 15 minutes and lasts until midnight. For example, a +2 hallowed mace grants a +2 bonus to hit, +4 to damage, and may be used in place of the Cleric's symbol, when performing a Channel Divinity, casting spells requiring a holy symbol focus item, etc.

At any level, a cleric who grossly violates the code of conduct required by her god loses all spells and class features, except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons.
