Transcendant
"We are as water to the gods. Would you refuse to drink from a well if your foes also drank from the same well? And so, my fellows, ask not what you can do for your gods — ask what your gods can do for you."

Becoming a Transcendant
Adventurers who have encountered or worked beside the followers of many different gods sometimes come to realize that the gods are not so different, that good and evil, law and chaos, and even neutrality are not much more than sides and strategies in a struggle for relevance and recognition. Clerics and paladins that suffer within the constraints of their alignment are most likely to become transcendants. Others with an open mind and an inclination for magic sometimes follow the path of every way.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the transcendant.

Your transcendant levels stack with your base class levels for the purpose of determining caster level for both the base class and your transcendant domain spells. All class skills of the base class become class skills for transcendant levels.

The new deity can not be of the same alignment as a deity from which she already receives a domain. A transcendant with domains granted by deities of all nine alignments may worship a new deity as long as its alignment is different from the alignments of all gods gained by finding a new god. For example, Vivalia, a cleric of Pelor, a neutral good deity, has two domains granted by Pelor, Healing, and the Sun. When she becomes a transcendant and first finds a new god, she may not choose another neutral good deity. Instead the decides to worship Nerull, a neutral evil deity, and gains the Death domain. The next time she gains a new deity she can not choose either a neutral good or neutral evil deity, because she already has domains from deities of those alignments. When she obtains her ninth transcendant level, she may, and must, choose a new neutral good deity to worship, perhaps Ehlonna.

She does not gain more spell slots of any spell level than her transcendant level. These slots can be used only to prepare or cast domain spells, in the same manner and using the same attribute as the base class.
