adaptation:
The Divine Oracle is designed to work well with both arcane and divine spellcasters; the idea behind the class is that you're getting divine guidance that manifests itself in a number of ways. But it doesn't have to be that way. By adjusting the requirements, you could push the class in a divine or arcane direction. It's also easy to add a requirement that limits it to worshippers of a deity of time, fate or divination.
default requirements:
Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks
Feat: Skill Focus (knowledge [religion])
spells: able to cast 2 divination spells
So does the bold part of the rules suggest that it's equally acceptable to have
-an atheist Wizard that gets all the Divine Oracle prescient and sixth sense powers through arcane study rather than depending on a god to grant them visions at an opportune time?
Maybe the adjusted requirements could look like this:
Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks
Feat: Skill Focus (knowledge [arcana])
spells: able to cast 2 divination spells
I think it might be interesting for a character who is more of an arcane caster to forgo the religion feat + pious roleplaying in favor of a more individualist and research oriented approach.
Is what I'm doing out of line or acceptable by RAW? Has anyone ever created adjusted requirements for the Divine Oracle? If so I'd love to hear your ideas.
