[edit] Class Features

 All of the following are class features of the Divine Mage.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Divine Mage is proficient with scythes, sickles, quarterstaffs, staffs, slings, whips, saps, clubs, daggers, scimitars, shortbows, longsbows, and crossbows. They are proficient with light and medium armor but not with shields. Because the somatic components required for Divine Mage’s spells are relatively simple, a Divine Mage can use any of his spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like arcane spellcasters, a Divine Mage wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure. A multiclass still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from levels in other classes.

Spells: A Divine Mage does not need to prepare his spells. He automatically know all of the spells from his chosen domains. The Divine Mage casts these spells as either divine spells and/or arcane spells. In order to be able to cast a spell the Divine Mage must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The difficulty class for a saving throw is 10 + the spell level + the Divine Mage's Charisma modifier. Like other spells casters, the Divine Mage can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. The base daily allotment is given in the table above. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

Magic Sensitivity: The Divine Mage is able to use the spell like abilities of read magic and detect magic at will.

Combat Aura: While in combat, for every spell cast in consecutive rounds the Divine Mage's AC increases by 1 to a maximum of 5. This represents the magical energies swirling around the Divine Mage that make him harder to hit. At the end of combat the energies fade away and the bonus to AC returns to normal.

Deceive Item: At 6th level the Divine Mage can more easily commandeer magic items made for the use of other characters. When making a use magic device check, the Divine Mage can take ten even if distracted or threatened.

Double Power: At 11th level, if the Divine Mage uses his last allotted spell for the day, his magical abilities are flowing so strongly that the results from his last spell are doubled if possible.

Change Domain: At levels 14, 17 and 20 the Divine Mage has the option of changing one domain. All spells that the Divine Mage did know of the old domain are replaced by the spells of the new domain.
