[edit] Sacred Fire
Some individuals with strong faith and an interest in arcane spellcasting forgo the rigors of wizard training to serve their gods as Sacred Fires. Sacred Fires study the divine through the same methods that wizards study the arcane. Their approach to the study of a cleric's magic unlocks a special power that is both divine and arcane: the Sacred Fire, after which the class takes it's name. Simply put, the Sacred Fire itself is arcane magic channeled through divine grace. Whether the fire is a discreet entity with intelligence all it's own or merely a different emanation of the same power clerics draw on is a subject of debate among Sacred Fires. The spells provided by the fire are both arcane and divine in nature, and seem to be best suited for creating light and flame, bolstering allies, or hindering evil outsiders and evil spellcasters. The fire refuses to grant any spells that create magical darkness, trick and befuddle opponents, or manipulate necromancy in any way.
Though they cannot stand up as well in a straight fight as a full cleric could, nor do they wield as much raw power as a wizard, they provide a unique balance of arcane magic, divine power, and combat prowess.
[edit] Making a Sacred Fire
Sacred Fires are unique because they are both divine and arcane spellcasters. They draw their spell power from the divine realms down through a powerful Sacred Focus item, which they use at all times.
Abilities: Wisdom is the most important ability score for a Sacred Fire, as it determines their number of spells per day. Constitution and Dexterity are secondary, as a Sacred Fire will often be at the forefront of a battle wearing no armor, with only his Sacred Focus to protect him.
Races: Members of various races are just as likely to join the Sacred Fire class as they are to become clerics.
Alignment: Any good.
Starting Gold: <-starting gold; YdZ->×10 gp (<-average starting gold. This calculated by multiplying the number of die rolls by the die size plus one and mulitplying the result by 5 [Y × (Z + 1) × 5].-> gp).
Starting Age: <-Select "Simple" or "As rogue", "Moderate" or "As fighter", or "Complex" or "As wizard", to let players know which starting age category to use for 1st-level characters->.

[edit] Class Features
<-fluff about class features->. All of the following are class features of the Sacred Fire.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Sacred Fire is proficient in all Simple and Martial weapons. The Sacred Fire is not proficient in any armor or shields and loses access to many of his class features when he is wearing armor or using a shield.
Sacred Focus: A Sacred Fire channels his spells through a Sacred Focus, an item unique to him that he has blessed and prepared for this purpose. Indeed, the Sacred Focus is one of the reasons he is able to merge the arcane and divine into a single source of power. Whenever he casts a spell, the Sacred Fire must hold his Sacred Focus in his off-hand. If he does not, he must make a DC 15 + spell's level Concentration check or the spell fails. Any non-magical item can serve as a Sacred Focus, but the Sacred Fire must consecrate it in a ceremony that takes a full hour and requires material components costing 25gp per caster level. Thereafter, the item can serve as a Sacred Focus for the character indefinitely. A Sacred Fire may have only one item so consecrated at any time. If the character loses his Sacred Focus or (more likely) it is stolen from him, he can consecrate a new item, but he must wait 24 hours since the last time he performed the ceremony.
Some traditional focus items for the Sacred fire are a holy symbol of his god on a chain, a censer, a torch, and the skull of a fallen hero. The most common of all is an ornately decorated quarterstaff. If a Sacred Fire uses a quarterstaff as his Sacred Focus, he may hold it in his off-hand and does not incur two-weapon fighting penalties for doing so, though he cannot make attacks with it.
Consecrated Shield: Whenever a Sacred Fire holds his Sacred Focus in his off-hand, it provides him with a +3 shield bonus to his Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 every three levels thereafter (at 4th, 7th, 10th, and so on).
Everlight: As a free action, when holding his Sacred Focus, a Sacred Fire can cause it to radiate light as though a Daylight spell had been cast on it. He may do this once per day. At third level, he may do this even when not holding the Focus.
Twinsouled: By virtue of studying the divine in the way that a wizard studies the arcane, the Sacred Fire can catch boons and avoid banes to both. Whenever an effect applies to arcane spellcasters, the Sacred Fire may choose whether he is considered an arcane or divine spellcaster for the purposes of that effect. He can do the same whenever an effect applies to divine spellcasters. He may also chose to be considered both for the same effect, but he must choose at least one.
Spells: A Sacred Fire casts spells that are drawn from the Sacred Fire spell list. As a unique feature of the class, these spells are both arcane and divine. A Sacred Fire must choose and prepare his spells in advance (see below).
To prepare or cast a spell, a Sacred Fire must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Sacred Fire’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Sacred Fire’s Wisdom modifier. Sacred Fires choose their spells from the following list:
