P2 Feat: Unholy Castigation

Like I said, sadly evil clerics have the same weapons as good clerics. Here’s the evil version of a Paizo feat for good priests.

Unholy Castigation (Cleric) Feat 1

Turn Good (Cleric) Feat 4

Prerequisites evil alignment, unholy castigation

You may cause good outsiders to flee before you, compelled by the force of your wickedness. When you use a harm spell to damage celestials, each celestial of your level or lower that critically fails its save gains the fleeing condition for 1 round.

P2 Feat: Turn Evil

A good clerics must be able to make fiends flee. I already created this feat for Pathfinder 1st Edition, and now I’m updating it!

Turn Evil (Cleric) Feat 4

Meliae Favored Class Bonuses

Bard: Add one spell from the druid spell list to the bard’s spell list and known spells. This spell must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell the bard can cast.

Druid: When casting spells that target plants or plant creatures, add ⅓ to the effective caster level, but only for the purpose of determining duration.

Hunter: Add 1 skill rank to the hunter’s plant companion. If the hunter replaces her plant companion, the new plant companion gains these bonus skill ranks.

Kineticist: Add ¼ to the save DC of the kineticist’s wood infusions and wild talents.

Oracle: Add +⅙ to the oracle’s level for the purpose of determining the effects of one revelation.

Ranger: Add +1 foot to the ranger’s base movement when in one of her favored terrains.

Shaman: Add one spell from the druid spell list that isn’t on the shaman spell list to the list of spells she knows. This spell must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell the shaman can cast.

Sorcerer: Choose a bloodline power from the fey or verdant bloodline that the sorcerer can use. The sorcerer treats her class level as though it were +⅙ higher (to a maximum of +2) when determining the effects of that power.

Witch: Add one spell from the druid spell list to the witch’s familiar. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the witch can cast. If the familiar is ever replaced, the new familiar knows these bonus spells.

Wizard: Select one arcane school power from the enchantment or wood arcane schools that the wizard can currently use. The wizard treats her class level as though it were +⅙ higher (to a maximum of +2) when determining the effects of that power.

Discworld Meliae

The dryad people from Discworld descend from ancient and extinct wild fey and live literally into the trees, that they use as portals towards a different dimension. These meliae can be both male and female, though the sexes have different mental and physical attributes, and their hair, eyes, and skin are deep green. Discworld meliae are a most reclusive and xenofobic people.

Prerequisites: Verdant Step

Benefit: You may step in any living or unliving wooden object of your size or larger, both normal or magical, when you use your Verdant Step ability.

P2 Feat: Skill Expertise

Like a better access to feats, more skill versatility is something that’s needed and most surely will be implemented in the 2nd Edition of Pathfinder. But while we wait an official feat to do this, feel free to use mine!

Command Good (Cleric) Feat 12

Instead of heal’s normal effects, the target obeys to you if its level is equal to or lower than your level – 3. It can attempt a Will saving throw to resist your control. If the target is already under someone else’s command, the controlling creature also rolls a saving throw, and the celestial uses the better result.

Critical Success The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 24 hours.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The celestial becomes a minion under your control. The spell gains a duration of 1 minute, but it is dismissed if you or an ally attacks the minion celestial.

Patron Requested: Meliae Character Race

Ronald G Paris is a Super Patron. His tier allows him to request content for two blog posts per month and suggest content for my monthly patrons-only post. This is the first blog post he requested and I liked adapting the Hamadryad race from D&D 4E to Pathfinder 1E, though I of course had to change the name since hamadryads are already an existing monster. More on this race will come on the next dedicated post!

Meliae (Advanced Race, 11 RP)

Meliae are a kind of tree spirits, related to dryads. Maybe, like naiads, they could be the result of an intermingling of fey and mortal blood. Unlikely dryads, meliae are not bonded to one specific tree and may travel as they deed fit, but tend however to prefer natural and wooden environments. All meliae are female; a melia who mates with a member of any other race has an equal chance to give birth to another melia or a child of her partner’s race.

Meliae are defined by class levels—they don’t have racial Hit Dice. Meliae have the following racial traits.

Standard Racial Traits

Ability Scores: Flexible (2 RP) +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma; meliae are beautiful and wise as the ancient woods they come from.
Type: Fey (2 RP) Meliae are Fey with the melia subtype.
Size: Medium (0 RP) Meliae are Medium creatures.
Speed: Normal (0 RP) Meliae have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages: Standard (0 RP) Meliae begin play speaking Common and Sylvan. Meliae that have high Intelligence scores are able to choose from any of the following bonus languages: Aklo, Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Sphinx, Treant, and any regional human tongue.

Defense Racial Traits
Fey Damage Resistance (3 RP): Meliae gain DR 5/cold iron.
Tree Mind (1 RP): Meliae gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.

Feat And Skill Racial Traits
Endurance (2 RP): A melia gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 1st level.

Movement Racial Traits
Woodland Stride (1 RP): Like a druid, a melia may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.

Senses Racial Traits
Low-Light Vision (1 RP): Meliae can see twice as far as humans can in dim light.

Alternate Racial Traits

Fertile Soil (2 RP): Meliae sorcerers with the verdant bloodline treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Meliae clerics with the Plant domain use their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level. This trait does not give a melia early access to level-based powers; it only affects powers that she could already use without this trait. This replaces tree mind and woodland stride.

Stunning Beauty (3 RP): Some meliae are related to nymphs more than dryads. Once per day, a melia with this racial trait can surround herself with an aura of unearthly beauty that stuns every humanoid in a 30-foot radius who’s directly looking at her. This effect lasts for 1 minute. Affected humanoids may resist this effect by making a successful Will saving throw (DC 10 + ½ the melia’s character level + the melia’s Charisma modifier). This racial trait replaces fey damage resistance.

Tree Bond (2 RP): A melia gains strength from a tree by bonding with it. While within 300 yards of her bonded tree, she gains a +1 insight bonus to Armor Class and a +1 racial bonus on saving throws (these bonuses are not included in the stats above). Once per day as a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, a melia can forge a bond with a tree. This racial trait replaces endurance.

Verdant Insight (2 RP): Nature-oriented meliae spellcasters sometimes find that their fey heritage makes plants more willing to serve them. Summon nature’s ally spells that such meliae cast last 2 rounds longer than normal when used to summon creatures with the plant type (using the Summon Plant Ally feat). This racial trait replaces endurance.

Pathfinder 2nd Edition: Command Evil Feat

Let’s go on with the P2 feats I created. Here’s a class feat for evil clerics who want to have fiends at their command.

Command Evil (Cleric) Feat 12

Prerequisites evil alignment

Your benevolent authority compels fiends to your service. If the next action you use is to cast harm targeting one fiend, you transform the effects of that harm spell. Instead of harm’s normal effects, the target obeys to you if its level is equal to or lower than your level – 3. It can attempt a Will saving throw to resist your control. If the target is already under someone else’s command, the controlling creature also rolls a saving throw, and the fiend uses the better result.

Critical Success The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 24 hours.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The fiend becomes a minion under your control. The spell gains a duration of 1 minute, but it is dismissed if you or an ally attacks the minion fiend.

Critical Failure As failure, but the duration is 1 hour.

Pathfinder 2nd Edition Feat: Boundless Ambition

At last, I begin posting some ideas about 2nd Edition Pathfinder- or P2. This is a heritage feat for human characters that will be likely implemented soon by Paizo, but I don’t like to wait XD Since multiclass feats allow to take one 1st-level feat from the chosen class and later a class feat of any level, why couldn’t be the same with heritage feats?

Boundless Ambition (Human) Feat 9

Prerequisites Natural Ambition

You gain a feat for your class. You must meet the prerequisites, and can select only feats allowed to a character with ½ your effective level.

Special You can select this feat more than once. Each time you select it, you gain another class feat.
