Cleric / Oracle Hybrid?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I've posted about this on Reddit.

And, someone tried to homebrew it! I inspired someone to do a thing, and, that feels amazing. Thank you, /u/squidpope.

And, it's rough, but, has potential... ...But, I still don't quite feel like it captures, truly, a union of the Cleric and Oracle.

Kinda curious what the people here on the official boards think!

How would you unify these classes? I feel like it'd heavily resemble an Arcanist, but, I don't think reskinning the Arcanist is enough...

(New to this forum, sorry for any formatting issues.)


Give arcanist divine casting, complete with cleric style access to the whole list. Imagine it, a full round action to get any divine spell in the game.


I know it isn't the answer you seek, I do think reskinning the Arcanist would largely be sufficient. Sure, it isn't perfect, but it would do it.

Convert Arcane casting to Divine. (Arcane Spell Failure replaced with alignment restrictions on spells that can be cast)
Swap Sorcerer/Wizard spell list to Cleric/Oracle spell list.
Grant access to full list (or use arcanist spells known and make into something like 3.5's archivist)
Increase BaB and HD by one step respectively to be consistent with the Cleric and Oracle classes.
Replace Bloodline Development with Mystery Development (you can figure how that would work).
Replace School Understanding with Domain Understanding (you can also figure out how this would work).
Possibly apply an alignment restriction (within 1 step of patron), at the very least for if they choose Domain Understanding, but then in turn grant proficiency with Patron's Favored Weapon.
Possibly add armor proficiencies.

The "reskinning" of the Arcanist sounds viable. Perhaps calling the class "Spiritualist" would be in order.

Was that intentional?

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I think it was sarcasm.
