'''''Solar Flare''''' is a [[intelligent item|sentient]] ''+2 [[disruption]] [[flaming]] [[light burst]] [[adamantine]] [[heavy mace]]'' wielded by the [[drow]] [[sunmaster]] [[User:StarSword/Faernethue Vrinn|Faernethue Vrinn]].

It is valued at over 100,000 gold pieces.

== History ==
Even among intelligent items, Solar Flare is unique, in that it was once a living person wielding a normal (if heavily enchanted) heavy mace.

Born in the [[-379 DR|Year of Dancing Idols]], Adrian Valarh was a [[cleric]] of [[Amaunator]] in ancient [[Netheril]], stationed in the city of [[Harrax]]. More militant than most Amaunatori, he served with distinction in several battles against the [[phaerimm]]s, and eventually was named Harrax's high priest. On the side, he acted as a judge.

Harrax survived [[Karsus's Folly]] only to fall prey to a warlord named [[Ten-Ap]], who called himself the Sand King. Ten-Ap brought with him a hoard of treasures, including several minor [[artifact]]s. No one ever bothered to catalogue them all, and when he died a few years later his son was to be crowned Sand King.

Somehow, one of the artifacts awoke then, the ''[[Dead Throne]]''. It raised Ten-Ap from the dead as a [[lich]], and swiftly transformed most of the inhabitants of Harrax into various forms of [[undead]]. Adrian Valarh went to sleep one night and woke up as a [[mummy]]. His force of will enabled him and some of his fellow priests to resist the ''Dead Throne's'' pull, letting them retain their sensibilities, but they could not leave the city again, and were left tending the temple without the benefit of Amaunator's divine magic.

Valarh, now 79, was furious, but had no way to defeat the power of the ''Dead Throne'' or its other undead servants. But he had not attained his rank without being a resourceful man, and he always kept a [[scroll]] of ''[[miracle]]'' handy for emergencies. He took up his mace, "Solar Flare" and cast the spell, binding his consciousness into his weapon. He slept for the next 1,600 years, only awakening when a living intelligent creature approached Harrax. Some tried to claim Solar Flare, but Valarh's consciousness would only accept a wielder who followed Amaunatori dogma (whether by intent or by coincidence), and would try to defeat Ten-Ap and the ''Dead Throne'', thereby freeing his subordinates from their [[undeath]]. None succeeded.

=== Three Elves and a Kobold ===
Over the centuries hundreds of people fell prey to the power of the ''Dead Throne'', be they treasure hunters, undead fighters, or [[Bedine]] nomads. Those who died in battle were lucky; few had the power to resist the artifact's magic or will. By the 1370s, Harrax was heavily populated with mummies.

In the pre-dawn hours of 8 [[Mirtul]], in the [[1373 DR|Year of Rogue Dragons]], a quartet of adventurers appeared outside Harrax. They called themselves "[[User:StarSword/Three Elves and a Kobold|Three Elves and a Kobold]]," and a stranger team never walked the surface of Toril. For two tendays they had traveled from their home base in the [[Silver Marches]], laying to rest the spirit of an [[androsphinx]] along the way.<ref name="OLR">{{cite web |url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20010202a |title=One Last Riddle |accessmonthday=December 5 |accessyear=2009 |last=Eckelberry |first=David |authorlink=David Eckelberry |coauthors= |date= |year=2001 |month= |format=PDF |work=Free Original Adventures |publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }}</ref>

Valarh's consciousness awoke within Solar Flare, and he spoke to his mummy acolytes. They informed him that a group of adventurers had entered the city. They had already defeated one patrol of mummy soldiers and were battling another house-to-house on the other side of the town's ruins. They also reported that two members of the group were [[drow|dark elves]]. Solar Flare was furious, but then an acolyte with skill as a [[diviner]], having [[scry]]ed the adventurers, observed to his astonishment that the female leader, one of the drow, had just held aloft a [[holy symbol]] of Amaunator, called out that deity's name, and [[turn undead|incinerated several mummies at once]]. The sentient mace was speechless.

The adventurers, however, sustained some dangerous injuries, and fled eastward to the ruins of the temple to take shelter. Bursting in through the door, they stopped in their tracks at the sight of yet more mummies. In the lead was a [[moon elf]] with a [[longsword]] and [[shuriken]], followed by a [[dragonwrought kobold|winged kobold]] holding a spear twice as tall as he was, with a bloody bandage about his head. Next to the kobold stood a short, armored drow woman with a mace and shield, and in the rear was a [[chainmail]]-clad dark elf with a [[rapier]]. To Solar Flare's utmost surprise, he heard the female swear fluently in [[Loross]] before ordering her team into "combat positions". They slowly began to advance.

The six mummified denizens of the temple, however, made no move to attack. Teniva Kaloum, one of the lower-ranked former priests, confused the adventurers even further when he took his mace from his belt and threw it to the stone floor. He then called to them in Common, "Peace be with you. I would welcome you to Harrax, but you are not welcome anywhere but this shrine."

The adventurers introduced themselves, and the kobold explained that their "fearless leader Faery Vrinn" had led them here at the behest of a [[Lathander]]ite [[trumpet archon]] named Mauriel, and they were to rededicate the temple. Faernethue Vrinn, the female drow, introduced herself as a [[sunmaster]], and asked for aid. Teniva directed her to the altar upon which Solar Flare lay. Vrinn picked up the weapon and immediately was mentally assaulted by the persona within.
{{Quote|
''"What is this?" she ground out.'' <br/>
''In her head she heard a masculine voice in Loross say, "You seek to wield me? You, one of the foul dark elves?"'' <br/>
''"I am not an average drow. I am a sunmaster of Amaunator."''<br/>
''"A drow cannot possibly be a sunmaster."''
|actual exchange during gameplay between Faernethue Vrinn (played by [[User:StarSword|StarSword]]) and Solar Flare (NPC played by the DM)}}

But Vrinn disagreed. The gold sun around her neck blazed white, and she overcame Solar Flare with the aid of Lathander/Amaunator.

Once she had proven herself the stronger of the two wills, she and her allies rested for the day in the shelter of the temple, during which time she attempted to gain the intelligent weapon's trust. That night, having tended their wounds and (in Faernethue's case) prepared new spells, they set out into the ruins again, and managed to destroy Ten-Ap and all his servitor mummies.

With Valarh/Solar Flare's dearest wish acheived (and the party running low on supplies), the group gathered what loot they could and set out to the [[Dalelands]] to resupply. On the return journey to their home in the Silver Marches, they came back to Harrax to complete their mission. Vrinn prayed at the altar for the rededication of the temple. Mauriel appeared and took possession of the ''Dead Throne'' in Lathander's name. Vrinn asked Solar Flare if she could keep it, and it agreed.

== Personality ==
Solar Flare is virtuous to a fault, and understandably despises the undead. It adheres strictly to a code of conduct that emphasizes honor and treats violence as a last resort. It is highly disciplined and unafraid to speak its mind. However, it also enjoys a good laugh, and loves to read. (This is, of course, difficult unless he is looking over someone's shoulder.)

===Powers===
In addition to its basic properties, Solar Flare can [[darkvision|see in the dark]] for 120 feet. It can communicate by both speech and telepathy, and is literate. The wielder is able to [[deathwatch|perceive]] the strength of nearby creature's life-forces. Once a day, it can cast ''[[Cure Moderate Wounds|cure moderate wounds]]'' on the wielder. Finally, in defense of the servants and/or interests of Amaunator, Solar Flare can cast a mighty 10d6 ''[[fireball]]'' at will.

Since it is made of adamantine, it can stand up to much more punishment than iron or steel weapons. (Hardness 20,

===Relationships===
In life Adrian Valarh sired two daughters and three sons by two different wives, and over a dozen grandchildren, but as this was over 1,700 years ago the Valarh persona has no idea if any of his descendants still live. Following his transformation, his family was his mummified subordinates; now, his family is the adventuring group Three Elves and a Kobold.
;[[Faernethue Vrinn]]: Solar Flare regards its wielder as a gifted daughter and student, and works to keep her on the straight and narrow. The pair are a solid team.
;[[Aramil Galanodel]]: The Valarh persona is conflicted about the group's "intrusion expert," a former member of the [[Fire Knives]]. On the one hand, it dislikes Galanodel's methods and the fact that he still venerates the thief god [[Mask]]. On the other hand, it can appreciate the personal discipline and training required to master the [[ninja]]'s skills, and recognizes that the elf has a good heart and wishes to atone for his bloodstained past.
;[[Rylfal Xiluin]]: The only member of the group that Solar Flare really dislikes is the drow [[warlock]]/[[sorcerer]] who operates as the team's artillery. Xiluin is a vagabond of sorts who joined up with Vrinn both for some extra protection and to find a way out of his ancestor's pact with a [[yochlol]]. He is a realist, deals with fiends on a regular basis, and has little in the way of personal discipline. His sole redeeming feature in Solar Flare's eyes is that he's the only member of the group that knows more about the [[plane]]s than it does.
;[[Tetcaz Torunn]]: At first the Valarh persona didn't know ''what'' to make of the group's [[fighter]], a flying [[kobold]] spearman who was raised by [[dwarves]] and worships [[Marthammor Duin]]. Now it understands that the kobold has a code not unlike its own, though it's less about honor and more about practicality. (For his part, Torunn is still trying to wrap his head around the idea of a mace that talks.)

67.142.130.43: /* add category, please */ new section

One Question, If I cast a delayed blast fireball while under the effects of time stop, do the rounds in time stop count for delayed blast fireball?
Because if this works, you can cast several delayed blast fireballs set to go off the instant the time stop ends and deal somewhere between 40d6 and 100d6 worth of damage. With some fanciful feat taking, I can guarantee a straight 900 damage at level 27. 450 if they make the reflex save which would be at ''least'' a 30 DC.

:no the rounds don't count, but you could set them all to detonate at the same time, but by level 27 it doesn't matter anyway. between improved evasion, fire immunity and all around being epic level, a dc 30 at level 27 isn't all that impressive. there are plenty of better options for your high level spells. also it would be more than one reflex save (the post only said A save). --[[User:Name Violation|Name Violation]] 04:46, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Among the disciples of any religion are a rare few individuals whose devotion to their deity goes far above and beyond the norm.
A divine disciple is the living embodiment of her patron deity on Toril, and at the height of her power, she actually ascends to something more than mortal. At that point, whether she continues to serve her deity in Faerûn or departs the mortal coil to bask in the actual presence of her god, a divine disciple is the epitome of an intelligent creature’s personal relationship with its deity.<ref name="PGFp51">{{cite book/Player’s Guide to Faerûn|51}}</ref>

===Becoming a Divine Disciple===
All divine disciples come from the ranks of divine spellcasters. [[Cleric]]s and [[druid]]s are the most common candidates, but especially pious [[paladin]]s and [[ranger]]s sometimes pursue this path. In the dark churches of evil gods, [[blackguard]]s sometimes rise to become divine disciples.<ref name="PGFp51"/>

Other divine classes are possible as well, such as [[Favored Soul|favored souls]] and [[Spirit Shaman|spirit shamans]]. The fastest path, however, is that of the cleric: all the required skills are class skills, and they have the fastest rate of spell level progression.

The divine disciple’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are [[Concentration]] ([[Con]]), [[Craft]] ([[Int]]), [[Diplomacy]] ([[Cha]]), [[Heal]] ([[Wis]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (arcana)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (history)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (nature)]] (Int), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (the planes)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (religion)]] ([[Int]]), [[Profession]] ([[Wis]]), [[Spellcraft]] ([[Int]]), and [[Survival]] ([[Wis]]). See Chapter 4 of the ''[[Player’s Handbook]]'' for skill descriptions.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the divine disciple.

'''{{#anc:Spellcasting}}:''' At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a divine disciple, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

'''{{#anc:Divine Emissary}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 1st level, a divine disciple can communicate telepathically with any [[outsider]] within 60 feet that has the same [[alignment]] as she does or serves her [[deity]]. The telepathy function of this class feature is a supernatural ability.

The character also gains a bonus equal to her divine disciple level on any [[Charisma]]-based skill or ability checks she makes when dealing with outsiders that share her alignment or patron.

'''{{#anc:Sacred Defense}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 2nd level, the divine disciple gains a +1 bonus on saving throws against divine spells, as well as the spell-like and supernatural abilities of outsiders. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +2.

'''''{{#anc:Imbue With Spell Ability}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' A 3rd-level divine disciple can use ''[[SRD:Imbue with Spell Ability|imbue with spell ability]]'' (caster level equals divine disciple’s caster level). Since it is a spell-like ability, the divine disciple does not need to devote a 4th-level spell slot to its use, though the imbued spells themselves take up her lower-level spell slots, as usual. This ability is usable once per day.

'''{{#anc:Domain}}:''' At 4th level, the divine disciple may choose a domain from those that her deity grants access to. If she already has two domains as a cleric, she gains a third in addition to those. Regardless of her original divine spellcasting class, she gains the granted power of the new domain, adding her divine disciple level to her cleric level (if any) to determine level-based effects. If the divine disciple has cleric levels, she also gains a third spell choice with which to fill her domain spell slot at each level. [[Druid]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[ranger]]s gain no extra spell slots for domain spells, but they can prepare the domain’s spells in their normal spell slots.

'''{{#anc:Transcendance}} ([[Su]]):''' At 5th level, thanks to her frequent contact with outsiders and her deity’s direct intervention, the divine disciple sheds her mortal form and becomes an outsider with the native subtype. This apotheosis grants her immunity to any spell or effect that does not affect outsiders (for example, ''[[charm person]]'' cannot affect her) as well as [[darkvision]] out to 60 feet, if she does not already have it. Because of her native subtype, however, the divine disciple must still eat, breathe, and sleep, and she can be ''reincarnated'', ''[[Raise dead|raised]]'', or ''[[Resurrection|resurrected]]'' normally. She also gains any alignment subtypes that match alignment components she has in common with her deity. Thus, a chaotic neutral divine disciple of a chaotic evil deity gains the chaotic subtype, and a divine disciple of a neutral deity gains no additional subtypes.

===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Divine Disciple====

{{Section Description Needed}}

'''Combat:''' Divine disciples occupy a similar role in battle to clerics and druids, providing divine spells and healing to their comrades.

'''Resources:''' Divine disciples can expect aid from most religious organizations that either worship or are allied to their patrion deity.

====Divine Disciples in the World====

{{Section Description Needed}}

{{quote|<-Some quote from a character of this class->|4=<-NPC name->, <-race-> <-class->}}

<-Where characters of this class fit in a d20 world->

'''NPC Reactions:''' A divine disciple is, for all intents and purposes, a priest of their deity. He or she can expect similar reactions as an ordinary priest. Members of their church, however, treat them with reverence.

====Divine Disciple Lore====

{{Section Description Needed}}

Characters with ranks in [[SRD:Knowledge|Knowledge (religion)]] can research divine disciples to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

|}

====Divine Disciples in the Game====

{{Section Description Needed}}

'''Adaptation:''' Adapting the divine disciple to a campaign is easy. The divine disciple is really just a priest with improved powers.

'''Sample Encounter:''' Damian Krale is a large man. Physically, he is an impressive specimen, but that is not the extent of it. His deep, booming voice and force of personality make it difficult to ignore his commands or deny his wishes. His presence intimidates all who stand in his shadow, and the dark power granted to him by [[Shar]] radiates like a smothering blanket. His black hair has grown long, but he keeps his strong jaw clean-shaven to accentuate his sneering visage. He normally wears the black and purple robes of his faith, and displays his holy symbol on a thick silver chain around his neck. He wears three heavy silver rings accented by amethyst and onyx gems.

Krale has been tasked by the Lady of Loss to coordinate the efforts of the independent Sharran cells in the Western Heartland region. His most pressing concern is doing so in a way that allows each to maintain its independence while turning their efforts toward a common goal. Exactly what that goal is remains Krale’s secret, one he is unlikely to share with anyone else. A few of the cell leaders know of Krale’s plan, while the rest are being manipulated without their knowledge. Rumors of the plan have begun to leak out of the region, but with the construction of the fortress over the Well of Dragons, the defenders of righteousness have
too much on their hands already to investigate thoroughly.

The [[earth genasi]] [[monk]], Alon, has recently contacted Krale and pledged to aid him in his endeavor. While Alon claims to have been sent by Shar, the cleric is skeptical. Krale prefers to summon demons to aid him, and he is still not certain of how Alon came to know of his plan. Still, the monk has proven useful in defending him from unwanted distractions, so for now he is content to use the monk until he can determine what is really going on.

''EL 17:'' The PCs may encounter Damian Krale while investigating the activities of Sharran cells in the Western Heartlands.

'''Damian Krale:''' Male [[human]] [[cleric]] 8/[[shadow adept]] 4/divine disciple of [[Shar]] 5; CR 17; Medium [[outsider]] (evil, native); HD 13d8+4d4+51; hp 131; Init +2; Spd 30 ft.; AC 22, touch 12, flat-footed 20; Base Atk +11; Grp +12; Atk +14 melee (1d8+3, Shadowstone); Full Atk +14/+9/+4 melee (1d8+3, Shadowstone); Space/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA rebuke undead 7/day (+6, 2d6+13, 9th); SQ darkvision 60 ft., imbue with spell ability, low-light vision, sacred defense +2, shadow defense +1, shield of shadows; AL NE; SV Fort +14, Ref +6, Will +20; Str 13, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 15, Wis 23, Cha 19.

''Languages: [[Abyssal]], [[Chondathan]], [[Draconic]].

Shield of Shadows (Su): As a standard action, Damian can surround himself with a globe of purple-black force. This grants him the
effect of a ''[[shield]]'' spell and provides him concealment. He can use the shield for up to 17 rounds per day.

You have discovered the dangerous secret of the [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Weave Shadow Weave].<ref name="PGFp43">{{cite book/Player’s Guide to Faerûn|43}}</ref>

=====Prerequisite=====
[[Wis]] 15 or patron deity [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Shar Shar].<ref name="PGFp43"/>

=====Benefit=====
From now on, your spells tap the Shadow Weave instead of the [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Weave Weave]. You can also activate magic items that use the Shadow Weave without taking damage.

The saving throw for every spell you cast from the schools of [[enchantment]], [[illusion]], and [[necromancy]] increases by +1. You also get a +1 bonus on caster level checks to overcome [[spell resistance]] with spells from these schools.

The Shadow Weave proves less than optimal for effects involving energy or matter. Your effective caster level for spells you cast from the schools of [[evocation]] or [[transmutation]] (except spells with the [[SRD:Darkness Effect|darkness descriptor]]) is reduced by one. A 1st-level Shadow Weave user cannot cast spells from these schools at all.

You can no longer cast spells with the [[SRD:Light Effect|light descriptor]]. No matter what school they are from, such spells automatically fail. Your ability to use magic items that produce light effects is also limited —- you cannot invoke an item’s light power if its activation method is spell completion or spell trigger.

From now on, any magic item you create is a Shadow Weave item (see Chapter 2 of the ''[[Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting]]).<ref name="PGFp43"/>

=====Benefit=====
A persistent spell has a duration of 24 hours. The persistent spell must have a personal range or fixed range (for example, ''[[SRD:Comprehend Languages|comprehend languages]]'' or ''[[SRD:Detect Magic|detect magic]]''). Spells of instantaneous duration cannot be affected by this feat, nor can spells whose effects are discharged. You need not concentrate on spells such as ''detect magic'' or ''[[SRD:Detect Thoughts|detect thoughts]]'' to be aware of the mere presence or absence of the thing detected, but you must still concentrate to gain additional information as normal. Concentration on such a spell is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A persistent spell uses up a spell slot six levels higher than the spell’s actual level.<ref name="PGFp42"/>

}}

Among the disciples of any religion are a rare few individuals whose devotion to their deity goes far above and beyond the norm.
A divine disciple is the living embodiment of her patron deity on Toril, and at the height of her power, she actually ascends to something more than mortal. At that point, whether she continues to serve her deity in Faerûn or departs the mortal coil to bask in the actual presence of her god, a divine disciple is the epitome of an intelligent creature’s personal relationship with its deity.<ref name="PGFp51">{{cite book/Player’s Guide to Faerûn|51}}</ref>

===Becoming a Divine Disciple===
All divine disciples come from the ranks of divine spellcasters. [[Cleric]]s and [[druid]]s are the most common candidates, but especially pious [[paladin]]s and [[ranger]]s sometimes pursue this path. In the dark churches of evil gods, [[blackguard]]s sometimes rise to become divine disciples.<ref name="PGFp51"/>

Other divine classes are possible as well, such as [[Favored Soul|favored souls]] and [[Spirit Shaman|spirit shamans]]. The fastest path, however, is that of the cleric: all the required skills are class skills, and they have the fastest rate of spell level progression.

The divine disciple’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are [[Concentration]] ([[Con]]), [[Craft]] ([[Int]]), [[Diplomacy]] ([[Cha]]), [[Heal]] ([[Wis]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (arcana)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (history)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (nature)]] (Int), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (the planes)]] ([[Int]]), [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge (religion)]] ([[Int]]), [[Profession]] ([[Wis]]), [[Spellcraft]] ([[Int]]), and [[Survival]] ([[Wis]]). See Chapter 4 of the ''[[Player’s Handbook]]'' for skill descriptions.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the divine disciple.

'''{{#anc:Spellcasting}}:''' At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a divine disciple, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

'''{{#anc:Divine Emissary}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 1st level, a divine disciple can communicate telepathically with any [[outsider]] within 60 feet that has the same [[alignment]] as she does or serves her [[deity]]. The telepathy function of this class feature is a supernatural ability.

The character also gains a bonus equal to her divine disciple level on any [[Charisma]]-based skill or ability checks she makes when dealing with outsiders that share her alignment or patron.

'''{{#anc:Sacred Defense}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 2nd level, the divine disciple gains a +1 bonus on saving throws against divine spells, as well as the spell-like and supernatural abilities of outsiders. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +2.

'''''{{#anc:Imbue With Spell Ability}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' A 3rd-level divine disciple can use ''[[imbue with spell ability]]'' (caster level equals divine disciple’s caster level). Since it is a spell-like ability, the divine disciple does not need to devote a 4th-level spell slot to its use, though the imbued spells themselves take up her lower-level spell slots, as usual. This ability is usable once per day.

'''{{#anc:Domain}}:''' At 4th level, the divine disciple may choose a domain from those that her deity grants access to. If she already has two domains as a cleric, she gains a third in addition to those. Regardless of her original divine spellcasting class, she gains the granted power of the new domain, adding her divine disciple level to her cleric level (if any) to determine level-based effects. If the divine disciple has cleric levels, she also gains a third spell choice with which to fill her domain spell slot at each level. [[Druid]]s, [[paladin]]s, and [[ranger]]s gain no extra spell slots for domain spells, but they can prepare the domain’s spells in their normal spell slots.

'''{{#anc:Transcendance}} ([[Su]]):''' At 5th level, thanks to her frequent contact with outsiders and her deity’s direct intervention, the divine disciple sheds her mortal form and becomes an outsider with the native subtype. This apotheosis grants her immunity to any spell or effect that does not affect outsiders (for example, ''[[charm person]]'' cannot affect her) as well as [[darkvision]] out to 60 feet, if she does not already have it. Because of her native subtype, however, the divine disciple must still eat, breathe, and sleep, and she can be ''reincarnated'', ''[[Raise dead|raised]]'', or ''[[Resurrection|resurrected]]'' normally. She also gains any alignment subtypes that match alignment components she has in common with her deity. Thus, a chaotic neutral divine disciple of a chaotic evil deity gains the chaotic subtype, and a divine disciple of a neutral deity gains no additional subtypes.

====Divine Disciples in the Game====

{{Section Description Needed}}

'''Adaptation:''' Adapting the divine disciple to a campaign is easy. The divine disciple is really just a priest with improved powers.

'''Sample Encounter:''' Damian Krale is a large man. Physically, he is an impressive specimen, but that is not the extent of it. His deep, booming voice and force of personality make it difficult to ignore his commands or deny his wishes. His presence intimidates all who stand in his shadow, and the dark power granted to him by [[Shar]] radiates like a smothering blanket. His black hair has grown long, but he keeps his strong jaw clean-shaven to accentuate his sneering visage. He normally wears the black and purple robes of his faith, and displays his holy symbol on a thick silver chain around his neck. He wears three heavy silver rings accented by amethyst and onyx gems.

Krale has been tasked by the Lady of Loss to coordinate the efforts of the independent Sharran cells in the Western Heartland region. His most pressing concern is doing so in a way that allows each to maintain its independence while turning their efforts toward a common goal. Exactly what that goal is remains Krale’s secret, one he is unlikely to share with anyone else. A few of the cell leaders know of Krale’s plan, while the rest are being manipulated without their knowledge. Rumors of the plan have begun to leak out of the region, but with the construction of the fortress over the Well of Dragons, the defenders of righteousness have
too much on their hands already to investigate thoroughly.

The [[earth genasi]] [[monk]], Alon, has recently contacted Krale and pledged to aid him in his endeavor. While Alon claims to have been sent by Shar, the cleric is skeptical. Krale prefers to summon demons to aid him, and he is still not certain of how Alon came to know of his plan. Still, the monk has proven useful in defending him from unwanted distractions, so for now he is content to use the monk until he can determine what is really going on.

''EL 17:'' The PCs may encounter Damian Krale while investigating the activities of Sharran cells in the Western Heartlands.

'''Damian Krale:''' Male [[human]] [[cleric]] 8/[[shadow adept]] 4/divine disciple of [[Shar]] 5; CR 17; Medium [[outsider]] (evil, native); HD 13d8+4d4+51; hp 131; Init +2; Spd 30 ft.; AC 22, touch 12, flat-footed 20; Base Atk +11; Grp +12; Atk +14 melee (1d8+3, Shadowstone); Full Atk +14/+9/+4 melee (1d8+3, Shadowstone); Space/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA rebuke undead 7/day (+6, 2d6+13, 9th); SQ darkvision 60 ft., imbue with spell ability, low-light vision, sacred defense +2, shadow defense +1, shield of shadows; AL NE; SV Fort +14, Ref +6, Will +20; Str 13, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 15, Wis 23, Cha 19.

}}

Among the disciples of any religion are a rare few individuals whose devotion to their deity goes far above and beyond the norm.
A divine disciple is the living embodiment of her patron deity on Toril, and at the height of her power, she actually ascends to something more than mortal. At that point, whether she continues to serve her deity in Faerûn or departs the mortal coil to bask in the actual presence of her god, a divine disciple is the epitome of an intelligent creature’s personal relationship with its deity.<ref name="PGFp51">{{cite book/Player’s Guide to Faerûn|51}}</ref>

===Becoming a Divine Disciple===
All divine disciples come from the ranks of divine spellcasters. [[Cleric]]s and [[druid]]s are the most common candidates, but especially pious [[paladin]]s and [[ranger]]s sometimes pursue this path. In the dark churches of evil gods, [[blackguard]]s sometimes rise to become divine disciples.<ref name="PGFp51"/>

Other divine classes are possible as well, such as [[Favored Soul|favored souls]] and [[Spirit Shaman|spirit shamans]]. The fastest path, however, is that of the cleric: all the required skills are class skills, and they have the fastest rate of spell level progression.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the divine disciple.

'''{{#anc:Spellcasting}}:''' At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a divine disciple, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

'''{{#anc:Divine Emissary}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 1st level, a divine disciple can communicate telepathically with any [[outsider]] within 60 feet that has the same [[alignment]] as she does or serves her [[deity]]. The telepathy function of this class feature is a supernatural ability.

The character also gains a bonus equal to her divine disciple level on any [[Charisma]]-based skill or ability checks she makes when dealing with outsiders that share her alignment or patron.

'''{{#anc:Sacred Defense}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 2nd level, the divine disciple gains a +1 bonus on saving throws against divine spells, as well as the spell-like and supernatural abilities of outsiders. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +2.

'''''{{#anc:Imbue With Spell Ability}}'' ([[Sp]]):''' A 3rd-level divine disciple can use ''[[imbue with spell ability]]'' (caster level equals divine disciple’s caster level). Since it is a spell-like ability, the divine disciple does not need to devote a 4th-level spell slot to its use, though the imbued spells themselves take up her lower-level spell slots, as usual. This ability is usable once per day.

This apotheosis grants her immunity to any spell or effect that does not affect outsiders (for example, ''[[charm person]]'' cannot affect her) as well as [[darkvision]] out to 60 feet, if she does not already have it.

She also gains any alignment subtypes that match alignment components she has in common with her deity. Thus, a chaotic neutral divine disciple of a chaotic evil deity gains the chaotic subtype, and a divine disciple of a neutral deity gains no additional subtypes.
