Horrifically Overpowered Class Features for Pathfinder 1e - The Warpriest (Paid Patron Excusive!) (Patreon)

Literally the day the final Advanced Class Guide files were sent to the printer, I made a dwarven warpriest using the book version rather than the playtest version and played in a game along the designers and developers. So, I was the very first person to ever plan the by-the-book warpriest.

I do adore the class.

So, making an article of Paid Patron Exclusive Horrifically Overpowered Warpriest Class Features was especially fund for me. Also, this is the last of the hybrid classes. So, it's a good time for Paying Patrons to speak up if you want to see something different for a bit. I could move on to Horrifically Overpowered class features for the occult classes, or write about common issues as a freelance ttRPG professional, or do more short fiction... or maybe you have a specific idea you'd like to see. Let me know!

As always, this article is listed in the paying-member-exclusive Index of Horrifically Overpowered Content, which I update every time a new Horrifically Overpowered product or article goes up. The index also has the Horrifically Overpowered Feat I suggest using to allow characters to access these HO class features.

(Sacred armnor? Check. Sacred weapon? Check. Yes, it's a horrifically overpowered warpriest. Aty by warmtail.)

Horrifically Overpowered Warpriest Class Skills (Horrifically Overpowered): For each blessing you have, select one skill associated from that domain from the list below. Each time you gain a level of warpriest, you gain 1 rank in that skill (this cannot allow you to have ranks in a skill exceeding your character level). If that skill is not a class skill for warpriiests, it also becomes a class skill. If the skill is a warpriest class skill, you may add your Strength of Wisdom bonus to it, rather than its normal ability score. If it is a class skill and already Strength- or Wisdom-based, you gain a +1 bonus to the skill.

When using fervor to heal or harm, the dice are calculated as your warpriest level -1. Once per round you can use fervor to cast a spell as a free action rather than a swift action. When you use fervor to cast a spell as a swift or free action, if it could normally target or affect an adjacent creature, you can affect an adjacent creature as a touch attack. When you use fervor to cast spells, those spells do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
