Class Features
The following are the class features of the apostle.
-Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Apostles are proficient with all simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields. Apostles are also proficient with the favored weapon of their deities.
-Aura (Ex): An apostle of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity's alignment.
-Spellcasting: An apostle casts divine spells drawn from the cleric/oracle spell list. An apostle must prepare her spells ahead of time, but unlike a cleric, her spells are not expended when they're cast. Instead, she can cast any spell that she has prepared consuming a spell slot of the appropriate level, assuming she hasn't yet used up her spell slots per day for that level.
-To prepare, or cast a spell, the apostle must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level. The saving throw DC against an apostle's spell is 10 + the spell's level + the apostle's Wisdom modifier.
-An apostle can only cast a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table 1-1: The Apostle under “Spells per Day.” In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score.
-Apostles meditate or pray for their spells. Each apostle must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether an apostle can prepare spells. An apostle may prepare and cast any spell on the cleric/oracle spell list, provided she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.
-Like an oracle, an apostle can choose to apply any metamagic feats she knows to a prepared spell as she casts it, with the same increase in casting time. However, she may also prepare a spell with any metamagic feats she knows and cast it without increasing casting time like a cleric. She cannot combine these options—a spell prepared with metamagic feats cannot be further modified with another metamagic feat at the time of casting.
-Orisons: Apostles can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, each day as noted on table 1-2: Apostle Spells Prepared. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume spell slots. As with her other spells, these spells are not expended when cast.
(Other class features to come. some by suggestion, if not by my own creation. Thought of basically just giving you a divine version of the arcanist, maybe gave it an ability called.. divine font, which worked like the arcane reservoir, and just flipped the rest of the arcanist to divine. Potential access to domains and mysteries is a must here.. what ever the approach is ultimately. And yes, just as there is an arcanist archetype that uses the witch spell list, there will be an apostle archetype that uses the druid spell list. I'll get there, once the class itself is finished.)
