Class Features: The following are all class features of the Sanctified Champion.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Sanctified Champions are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with all forms of armor and shields (including tower shields).
Faith: Sanctified Champions are chosen instruments of the gods themselves. A Sanctified Champion must worship a good-aligned deity, and is expected to act in accordance with the strictures of his chosen god's church. A Sanctified Champion does not have a strict code of conduct as a Paladin does, but repeated egregious failures to follow the goals of his god and church may cause him to fall, much as a Paladin can. A fallen Sanctified Champion can atone via the atonement spell, but so long as he is fallen, he loses access to his Divine Purpose and Conviction of True Faith class features, and cannot make use of his supplications.
Supplications (Su): All Sanctified Champions have the ability to draw tiny fragments of power from the god they worship through brief, fervent prayers, known as supplications. A Sanctified Champion begins play knowing two 1st level supplications, and gains access to a single new supplication of any level he has access to at each level thereafter. The highest level supplication a Sanctified Champion may select is shown on the table above. At 5th level and every three levels thereafter, a Sanctified Champion may exchange one supplication that he knows for another of the same level.
Activating a supplication is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Each supplication may be used once per encounter, up to a total number of supplications per encounter equal to the Sanctified Champion's Wisdom modifier, minimum of 1. Unless otherwise noted, the effects of a supplication persist for a number of rounds equal to 1 + the Sanctified Champion's Wisdom modifier (if positive). Supplications cannot be used defensively like spells can, but a Sanctified Champion may make a concentration check to maintain a supplication if he is damaged while praying, just as a spellcaster can.
If a supplication offers a saving throw, the difficulty class of the save is equal to 10 + supplication level + Wisdom modifier.
Touch of Vitality (Su): A Sanctified Champion with a Charisma or Wisdom score of 12 or higher can heal wounds (his own or those of others) by touch as a standard action. Each day he can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to his class level times his combined Charisma and Wisdom modifiers (if positive). A Sanctified Champion may choose to divide this healing among multiple recipients, and he doesn’t have to use it all at once.
In addition, this ability may be used to purge negative conditions instead of or in addition to healing, as shown on the table below. Using touch of vitality in this way subtracts an amount of healing from the touch as shown next to each condition. Multiple conditions may be removed with a single touch, but the healing reduction for each condition is cumulative.
{table=head]Condition|Healing Reduction
Ability Damage|5/point
Ability Drain|15/point
Blinded|10
Confusion|15 (50 if permanent)
Dazed|10
Dazzled|1

Exhausted|20
Fatigued|10

Petrified|50

Stunned|20[/table]
Sacred Will (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a Sanctified Champion adds his Charisma modifier (if positive) to Will saves.
Guardian's Furor (Ex): Beginning at 3rd level, a Sanctified Champion adds his Charisma modifier (if positive) to melee damage rolls while wielding a shield, and to attack rolls while wielding a tower shield. This effect only applies while the Sanctified Champion actually wields the shield, and as such Animated shields or similar effects do not apply.
Divine Purpose (Su): Beginning at 4th level, when acting in accordance with his god's goals or against enemies of his church, a Sanctified Champion gains immunity to fear and compulsion effects.
Exultant Piety (Su): Beginning at 5th level, whenever he successfully completes a supplication, the Sanctified Champion gains a +1 Sacred bonus to attack and damage rolls and saving throws until the end of his next turn. At 10th level and every five levels thereafter, this bonus increases by one point.
Conviction of True Faith (Ex): At 6th level, a Sanctified Champion gains True Believer(CDiv, p. 86) as a bonus feat. The Sanctified Champion may activate the effects of this feat once per encounter, rather than once per day.
Defender's Zeal (Ex): Beginning at 7th level, whenever an ally that the Sanctified Champion can detect takes hitpoint damage, his first successful attack before the end of his next turn deals bonus damage equal to a quarter of that damage. Multiple instances of this ability do not stack; only the highest total amount of damage taken by an ally in one instance is counted when determining the bonus damage dealt. A Sanctified Champion does not count himself as an ally for the purposes of this ability.
At 13th level, the bonus damage dealt by this ability increases to half of the damage taken by an ally, and at 19th level, it increases to the full damage taken.
Mettle (Ex): Beginning at 8th level, a Sanctified Champion can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of “Will half” or “Fortitude partial”), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping Sanctified Champion does not gain the benefit of mettle.
Aura of Grace (Su): Beginning at 9th level, a Sanctified Champion emanates an imperceptible aura out to 60 feet. Whenever a creature within this aura attacks another creature that the Sanctified Champion considers an ally (the Sanctified Champion does not count himself as an ally for the purpose of this effect), it must succeed on a Will save, DC 10 +1/2 class level +Cha modifier, or take a -4 penalty to the attack roll. If a creature uses a spell or ability that does not require an attack roll, such as a fireball spell or a dragon's breath weapon, the Difficulty Class of any save required by that ability decreases by an amount equal to the penalty to attack rolls if the effect does not include the Sanctified Champion. Creatures subjected to this effect are intuitively aware of it and the means of bypassing it. The Sanctified Champion may suppress and resume this aura as a free action.
Zealotry (Ex): Beginning at 11th level, the first time each day that the Sanctified Champion would be reduced to -10 hp or slain outright, his hitpoints are instead set to 1 and he ignores any effect the attack, spell, or ability that triggered this ability would have had.
Sacred Seal (Su): Beginning at 12th level, as a full-round action a Sanctified Champion can create an area sealed off by divine energy. This area manifests as a two-dimensional seal of glowing energy with a radius of up to 60 feet, though the actual effect is spherical. This seal may be identified with a DC 25 Spellcraft check.
Any Undead, evil outsider, or creature with the Evil subtype attempting to enter the sealed area must succeed on a Will save, DC 10 + ½ class level + Cha modifier or be unable to enter for the duration. Likewise, appropriate creatures cannot attack or use magical effects to harm those within the sealed area if they fail the initial save; ranged attacks are deflected harmlessly away, area effects split around the invisible barrier, and spells or similar effects that affect allies warded by the seal without need of an attack roll simply fizzle to no effect.
A sacred seal persists so long as the Sanctified Champion concentrates upon it. For the purpose of determining the difficulty of Concentration checks to maintain the seal, treat this ability as a 6th level spell.
Divine Intervention (Su): Beginning at 14th level, a Sanctified Champion may shield those he protects with the sheer force of his conviction. As an immediate action taken whenever an ally within his aura of grace would suffer hitpoint or ability damage or drain, the Sanctified Champion may redirect any amount of the damage to himself. If multiple allies would be affected at the same time (such as two or more allies caught within the area of a fireball spell), the Sanctified Champion may redirect damage from all affected allies. Damage redirected in this way is empathic in nature, and as such is not subject to reduction from damage reduction or energy resistance. Ability damage or drain transferred by this ability is likewise empathic in nature, bypassing normal immunity to ability damage or drain.
Improved Mettle (Ex): Beginning at 16th level, a Sanctified Champion's Mettle ability improves. While he still takes no effect on a successful Will or Fortitude save against an effect that has a saving throw of “Will half” or “Fortitude partial”, he henceforth takes only the partial effect or half the damage on a failed save.
Sacred Might (Su): Beginning at 17th level, once per encounter as a free action that may be taken out of turn, the Sanctified Champion may increase his Strength and Constitution scores by an amount equal to half his class level until the end of his next turn.
Word of God (Sp): Beginning at 18th level, a Sanctified Champion may use holy word as a spell-like ability twice per day. His caster level for this ability is equal to his class level +4.
Celestial Apotheosis (Su): At 20th level, a Sanctified Champion may embody the virtues of the heavens for short periods of time. Once per encounter as a standard action, the Sanctified Champion may grant himself the half-celestial template for a number of rounds equal to his Wisdom modifier, except that he does not gain or lose skill points from the application of the template. Additionally, he may activate two supplications of his choice as part of this transformation, without consuming supplication uses for the encounter.
Supplications
1st:Blessed Respite
Activating this supplication creates a 10-ft radius area bathed in soft golden light. Any ally within this area when it is created gains the effect of a sanctuary spell so long as they remain within the area. If the sanctuary effect is broken for any ally, this effect ends for all affected allies.
Call Divine Spark
Beseeching his god for aid, the Sanctified Champion creates a floating mote of silver or golden energy to defend and assist him in battle.
Divine sparks have a number of hit dice equal to the Sanctified Champion's level, but never gain feats based on their hit dice.
Divine Spark:The following divine spark was called by a 1st level Sanctified Champion.
Size/Type: Medium Outsider (Incorporeal)
Hit Dice: 1d8+2 (6 hp)
Initiative: +3
Speed: Fly 20 ft. (Perfect)
Armor Class: 14 (+3 Dex, +1 natural), touch 10, flat-footed 13

Light Rays: A divine spark fights by releasing concentrated rays of divine light. These rays deal 1d6 divine damage, plus an additional point of damage for every two hit dice the divine spark possesses, and have a range of 100 feet with no range increment. A divine spark with multiple attacks due to base attack bonus may fire a light ray for each iterative afforded it in a full-attack sequence.
Condemn
As the prayer comes to a close, the Sanctified Champion points to an enemy and condemns it for its sins and transgressions. If the chosen foe fails a Will save, it suffers a -2 penalty to all attack rolls made against the Sanctified Champion and his allies for the duration of the effect.
Cure Light Wounds
As the Cleric spell of the same name, except as a supernatural ability and with the Sanctified Champion's class level in place of a caster level.
Holy Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 1d6 divine damage with each successful attack.
Shared Glory
The Sanctified Champion chooses a single ally within line of sight. The next time that ally would make a saving throw during the duration of this supplication, the ally may use the Sanctified Champion's saving throw modifier, if higher, and the effect ends.
2nd:Consecrated Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 2d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Cure Moderate Wounds
As the Cleric spell of the same name, except as a supernatural ability and with the Sanctified Champion's class level in place of a caster level.
Divine Resilience
The Sanctified Champion and one ally within line of sight gain resistance to an energy type of his choice (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) equal to his class level for the duration of this supplication.
Heavenly Aegis
The Sanctified Champion and one ally within line of sight gain damage reduction/evil equal to his class level for the duration of this supplication.
Leap of Faith
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion gains a +20 competence bonus to Jump checks, ignores armor check penalty to jump checks, and treats all Jump checks as if he had a running start.
Sacred Vow
The Sanctified Champion swears an oath against a specific foe. Against that one foe, he gains a bonus to AC and saving throws equal to one-quarter his class level.
3rd:Cure Serious Wounds
As the Cleric spell of the same name, except as a supernatural ability and with the Sanctified Champion's class level in place of a caster level.
On Wings of Light
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion and one ally within line of sight sprout wings of semisolid radiance, granting them a flight speed of 60 feet with average maneuverability.
Sacred Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 3d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Scouring Light
The Sanctified Champion releases a 30 ft burst of light. All Undead caught within the area take 1d6 sacred damage per class level. A successful Will save halves this damage, and Undead with turn resistance may subtract twice their turn resistance from the total damage taken. Evil outsiders and evil-aligned non-undead creatures must instead succeed on a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d6 rounds.
Shared Glory, Greater
As shared glory, except up to three allies, and affected allies may use the Sanctified Champion's save modifiers as many times as needed for the duration of the supplication.
Warded Souls
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion and one ally within line of sight gain immunity to energy drain and [death] spells and effects.
4th:Avenging Wrath
As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may cause a creature that just struck an ally with a physical attack to take sacred damage equal to the full amount inflicted by that one attack.
Blessed Aegis
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion's shield becomes a barrier of solid light. Its enhancement bonus increases by 1 and it grants a deflection bonus to AC instead of a shield bonus to AC, stacking with all other deflection bonuses. As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may make an opposed shield bash attack against an attack being made against an adjacent ally, whether physical or magical in nature, and even with a tower shield despite not being able to shield bash with tower shields normally. If successful, the attack is deflected harmlessly aside to no effect and the supplication ends.
Censure
As the prayer comes to a close, the Sanctified Champion points to an enemy and condemns it for its sins and transgressions. If the chosen foe fails a Will save, it suffers a -6 penalty to all attack rolls made against the Sanctified Champion and his allies for the duration of the effect.
Cure Critical Wounds
As the Cleric spell of the same name, except as a supernatural ability and with the Sanctified Champion's class level in place of a caster level.
Glorious Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 4d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
The Last Word
When this supplication is successfully activated, all foes that can hear the Sanctified Champion shout (base DC -20, modified for distance) are deafened and rendered mute for the duration. A successful Will save decreases the time affected to one round.
5th:Grand Crusade
As a standard action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may move up to twice his speed without provoking attacks of opportunity. He may make a single attack at his highest attack bonus against each foe he threatens during this movement.
Hand of Light
A nimbus of swirling golden light surrounds an ally within line of sight. This light sheds light as a daylight spell, and absorbs up to five damage per class level. This damage absorption is not temporary hitpoints, but rather the shield itself taking the effects of the damaging attacks; any attack that is completely absorbed by the shield has no effect on the warded ally, as if they were not struck at all.
Righteous Rebuke
As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may speak a single, stern word in the language of the gods themselves in an attempt to disrupt a spell being cast within 20 feet. The Sanctified Champion makes a dispel check, as if casting greater dispel magic, with his class level in place of the caster level. If successful, the spell is counterspelled and the target is deafened and blinded for 1d6 rounds.
Righteous Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 5d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Serenity
When he activates this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses one allied spellcaster within line of sight. The next spell that spellcaster casts while this effect is active is modified by the Empower Spell, Silent Spell and Still Spell feats, with no adjustment to casting time or spell level.
6th:Castigate
As the prayer comes to a close, the Sanctified Champion points to an enemy and condemns it for its sins and transgressions. If the chosen foe fails a Will save, it suffers a -15 penalty to all attack and damage rolls made against allies of the Sanctified Champion for the duration of this effect. The Sanctified Champion does not treat himself as an ally for the purpose of this ability.
Lightbringer
While this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion sheds light as a daylight spell, he gains immunity to all death spells, death effects, energy drain, and negative energy effects, and each successful melee attack he makes while this supplication is active blinds the struck foe for one round with no save.
Sanctified Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 6d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
The Final Price
Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion drops to -9 hp and stable. All allies within his aura of grace are healed for a number of hitpoints equal to the amount he lost. Even if he receives healing during this period, the Sanctified Champion is rendered unconscious for the duration of this supplication.
Unmake the Wicked
This ability functions like the harm spell with a caster level equal to the Sanctified Champion's class level, except that the damage is entirely sacred in nature. This ability deals full damage to any evil-aligned creature or a creature with the evil subtype, half damage to neutral-aligned creatures, and no damage to good-aligned creatures.

Whenever a creature within this aura attacks another creature that the Sanctified Champion considers an ally (the Sanctified Champion does not count himself as an ally for the purpose of this effect), it must succeed on a Will save, DC 10 +1/2 class level +Cha modifier, or take a -4 penalty to the attack roll. If a creature uses a spell or ability that does not require an attack roll, such as a fireball spell or a dragon's breath weapon, the Difficulty Class of any save required by that ability decreases by an amount equal to the penalty to attack rolls if the effect does not include the Sanctified Champion. Creatures subjected to this effect are intuitively aware of it and the means of bypassing it. The Sanctified Champion may suppress and resume this aura as a free action.
Zealotry (Ex): Beginning at 11th level, the first time each day that the Sanctified Champion would be reduced to -10 hp or slain outright, his hitpoints are instead set to 1 and he ignores any effect the attack, spell, or ability that triggered this ability would have had.
Sacred Seal (Su): Beginning at 12th level, as a full-round action a Sanctified Champion can create an area sealed off by divine energy. This area manifests as a two-dimensional seal of glowing energy with a radius of up to 60 feet, though the actual effect is spherical. This seal may be identified with a DC 25 Spellcraft check.
Any Undead, evil outsider, or creature with the Evil subtype attempting to enter the sealed area must succeed on a Will save, DC 10 + ½ class level + Cha modifier or be unable to enter for the duration. Likewise, appropriate creatures cannot attack or use magical effects to harm those within the sealed area if they fail the initial save; ranged attacks are deflected harmlessly away, area effects split around the invisible barrier, and spells or similar effects that affect allies warded by the seal without need of an attack roll simply fizzle to no effect.
A sacred seal persists so long as the Sanctified Champion concentrates upon it. For the purpose of determining the difficulty of Concentration checks to maintain the seal, treat this ability as a 6th level spell.
Divine Intervention (Su): Beginning at 14th level, a Sanctified Champion may shield those he protects with the sheer force of his conviction. As an immediate action taken whenever an ally within his aura of grace would suffer hitpoint or ability damage or drain, the Sanctified Champion may redirect any amount of the damage to himself. If multiple allies would be affected at the same time (such as two or more allies caught within the area of a fireball spell), the Sanctified Champion may redirect damage from all affected allies. Damage redirected in this way is empathic in nature, and as such is not subject to reduction from damage reduction or energy resistance. Ability damage or drain transferred by this ability is likewise empathic in nature, bypassing normal immunity to ability damage or drain.
Improved Mettle (Ex): Beginning at 16th level, a Sanctified Champion's Mettle ability improves. While he still takes no effect on a successful Will or Fortitude save against an effect that has a saving throw of “Will half” or “Fortitude partial”, he henceforth takes only the partial effect or half the damage on a failed save.
Sacred Might (Su): Beginning at 17th level, once per encounter as a free action that may be taken out of turn, the Sanctified Champion may increase his Strength and Constitution scores by an amount equal to half his class level until the end of his next turn.
Word of God (Sp): Beginning at 18th level, a Sanctified Champion may use holy word as a spell-like ability twice per day. His caster level for this ability is equal to his class level +4.
Celestial Apotheosis (Su): At 20th level, a Sanctified Champion may embody the virtues of the heavens for short periods of time. Once per encounter as a standard action, the Sanctified Champion may grant himself the half-celestial template for a number of rounds equal to his Wisdom modifier, except that he does not gain or lose skill points from the application of the template. Additionally, he may activate two supplications of his choice as part of this transformation, without consuming supplication uses for the encounter.
Supplications
1st:Blessed Respite
Activating this supplication creates a 10-ft radius area bathed in soft golden light. Any ally within this area when it is created gains the effect of a sanctuary spell so long as they remain within the area. If the sanctuary effect is broken for any ally, this effect ends for all affected allies.
Call Divine Spark
Beseeching his god for aid, the Sanctified Champion creates a floating mote of silver or golden energy to defend and assist him in battle.

A divine spark with multiple attacks due to base attack bonus may fire a light ray for each iterative afforded it in a full-attack sequence.
Condemn
As the prayer comes to a close, the Sanctified Champion points to an enemy and condemns it for its sins and transgressions. If the chosen foe fails a Will save, it suffers a -2 penalty to all attack rolls made against the Sanctified Champion and his allies for the duration of the effect.
Cure Light Wounds
As the Cleric spell of the same name, except as a supernatural ability and with the Sanctified Champion's class level in place of a caster level.

A successful Will save halves this damage, and Undead with turn resistance may subtract twice their turn resistance from the total damage taken. Evil outsiders and evil-aligned non-undead creatures must instead succeed on a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d6 rounds.
Shared Glory, Greater
As shared glory, except up to three allies, and affected allies may use the Sanctified Champion's save modifiers as many times as needed for the duration of the supplication.
Warded Souls
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion and one ally within line of sight gain immunity to energy drain and [death] spells and effects.

As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may cause a creature that just struck an ally with a physical attack to take sacred damage equal to the full amount inflicted by that one attack.
Blessed Aegis
For the duration of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion's shield becomes a barrier of solid light. Its enhancement bonus increases by 1 and it grants a deflection bonus to AC instead of a shield bonus to AC, stacking with all other deflection bonuses. As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may make an opposed shield bash attack against an attack being made against an adjacent ally, whether physical or magical in nature, and even with a tower shield despite not being able to shield bash with tower shields normally. If successful, the attack is deflected harmlessly aside to no effect and the supplication ends.
Censure

5th:Grand Crusade
As a standard action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may move up to twice his speed without provoking attacks of opportunity. He may make a single attack at his highest attack bonus against each foe he threatens during this movement.
Hand of Light
A nimbus of swirling golden light surrounds an ally within line of sight. This light sheds light as a daylight spell, and absorbs up to five damage per class level. This damage absorption is not temporary hitpoints, but rather the shield itself taking the effects of the damaging attacks; any attack that is completely absorbed by the shield has no effect on the warded ally, as if they were not struck at all.
Righteous Rebuke
As an immediate action once while this supplication is active, the Sanctified Champion may speak a single, stern word in the language of the gods themselves in an attempt to disrupt a spell being cast within 20 feet. The Sanctified Champion makes a dispel check, as if casting greater dispel magic, with his class level in place of the caster level. If successful, the spell is counterspelled and the target is deafened and blinded for 1d6 rounds.

The Sanctified Champion does not treat himself as an ally for the purpose of this ability.
Lightbringer

Sanctified Weaponry
With the last word of his prayer, the Sanctified Champion's weapon blazes with divine fire. Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion chooses a wielded melee weapon; for the duration of this supplication, the chosen weapon inflicts an additional 6d6 divine damage with each successful attack, and is treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
The Final Price
Upon completion of this supplication, the Sanctified Champion drops to -9 hp and stable. All allies within his aura of grace are healed for a number of hitpoints equal to the amount he lost. Even if he receives healing during this period, the Sanctified Champion is rendered unconscious for the duration of this supplication.
Unmake the Wicked
This ability functions like the harm spell with a caster level equal to the Sanctified Champion's class level, except that the damage is entirely sacred in nature.
