Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Acolyte.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Acolytes are proficient with all simple bludgeoning weapons, the light hammer, sap, light and heavy shield, and the light and heavy mace. They are proficient in light armor and shields (but not tower shields).

Spells: An acolyte casts divine spells, which are drawn from the acolyte spell list. Her alignment may restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to her moral or ethical beliefs; see Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells, below. An Acolyte must choose and prepare her spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, the Acolyte must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Acolyte’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Acolyte’s Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a Acolyte can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Acolyte. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score. She does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does.

An acolyte prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place. An acolyte may prepare and cast any spell on the acolyte spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Spontaneous Casting: An acolyte can spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells as a cleric does.

Turn or Rebuke Undead (Su): The 2nd level acolyte can turn (if good) or rebuke (if evil) undead as a cleric. Neutral acolytes can choose one or the other on creation.

Divine Augmentation (Su): At 6th level, the acolyte can perform various small miracles that augment their next spell cast in that round. Activating this is a free action. Same effects do not stack. Choose from one of the following effects:

Caster Level Increase +2: If the spell has a cap on things that scale with caster level, this also increases the cap by +2.

Max Heal: Healing effects are maximized, as per Maximize Spell.

Retain Spell Slot: The spell slot is not consumed, to a maximum of 1 lower than your maximum spell you can cast (max 4th).

They gain an additional use per day at 10th and every four levels beyond.

Little Miracle (Su): The unheard of 20th level acolyte can perform a small miracle. Once per day, they can cast any cleric (not just acolyte) spell of 5th level or lower, using its normal casting time and components.

Ex-Acolytes

An acolyte who grossly violates the code of conduct required by his god loses all spells and class features, except for armor shield and weapon proficiencies. He cannot thereafter gain levels as an acolyte of that god until he atones (see the atonement spell description).
