THIS IS A REPOSTING OF AN OLD CLASS I MADE.
Mostly so I could balance it a bit more and make it awesome.
The Devout
Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of the Gods.

There are Clerics, those that follow the teachings of deities; but even those teachings can be corrupted for one purpose or another, or even seeing two Clerics of the same religion fighting over differing views of the same ideology.
The Devout is different, having a direct line to a deity through a pact of blood; eternally a servant, both in life and in beyond. While Clerics merely follow the gods, the Devout embraces the very breath of that deity’s being; asking the divine beings that serve his deity for advice and guidance to advance that deity’s goal. While many Clerics see the Devout of their religion as edging near obsession of the deity, all of them know that the Devout is a good omen when he comes to solve any problems.
Abilities: Wisdom is a Devout’s top priority, while Charisma is a close second.
Deity: The Devout MUST worship a deity when he chooses to play as this class.
Alignment: The Devout MUST be of the same Alignment as his chosen deity.

Mostly so I could balance it a bit more and make it awesome.
