Single-Minded: An evangelist focuses her skills and learning on proclamation rather than the fine details of the church’s deeper mysteries or martial training. Thus, she may select only one domain and does not gain Medium Armor Proficiency or Shield Proficiency. Public Speaker: An evangelist gains Perform as a class skill. In addition, she is trained to project her voice with great skill and effect; the DC to hear her speak in difficult conditions is reduced by an amount equal to her class level plus her Charisma modifier (minimum 0). Sermonic Performance: An evangelist gains the ability to deliver a select number of supernatural and spell-like performances through the force and power of her divinely inspired preaching and exhortation. This ability is similar in all respects to bardic performance as used by a bard of the same level (including interactions with feats, spells, and prestige classes), using Perform (oratory) as the evangelist’s performance skill. However, an evangelist gains only the following types of bardic performance: countersong, fascinate, and inspire courage at 1st level; inspire greatness at 9th level; and inspire heroics at 15th level. Sermonic performance replaces the 1st-, 9th-, and 15th-level channel energy abilities. This caps the cleric’s channel energy damage at 7d6 points. Spontaneous Casting: An evangelist does not gain the ability to spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells by sacrificing prepared spells. However, an evangelist can spontaneously cast the following spells by sacrificing a prepared spell of the noted level or above: Spell Level Spontaneous Spell
Backstory:
Early Life Ivor Redfeld was born into a family of merchants in the bustling town of Redbrook, on the edge of the Verdantwood Forest. The Redfelds were well-known for their fine goods and sharp bargaining skills. From a young age, Ivor was groomed to take over the family business. His parents, ever the shrewd negotiators, taught him the art of the deal, imbuing him with charisma and a silver tongue. Despite their wealth and influence, the Redfelds harbored a darker side. They were involved in shady dealings and unscrupulous practices, always putting profit above principle. Ivor, keen to prove himself, quickly adopted their methods, excelling in deception and manipulation. The thrill of the con and the lure of easy money became his driving forces, leading him down a path of moral decay. A Path of Deception
A Fateful Encounter
Immonhiel, the Keeper of Lost Souls, had chosen this moment to make her presence known. Her voice, simultaneously soothing and terrifying, whispered promises of redemption and power, offering Ivor a chance to reclaim his soul. But this was no benevolent offer; the terms were steeped in fear and uncertainty. Immonhiel's words painted vivid images of eternal torment, should he fail to atone. The shadows seemed to move with a life of their own, dark tendrils reaching out, brushing against his skin with an icy touch. Stricken with terror and awe, Ivor had no choice but to listen. Immonhiel revealed glimpses of his past misdeeds, each memory more haunting than the last. She showed him the faces of those he had wronged—their eyes filled with despair and anger, their voices echoing accusations in the darkness. Each vision was a dagger to his heart, tearing at the fabric of his soul. Immonhiel's call was clear: forsake his deceitful ways and serve her as a cleric, spreading her message of hope and redemption. In return, he would be granted the power to aid the lost and forsaken. With trembling hands and a heart heavy with fear, Ivor accepted the pact, vowing to change his path and seek redemption. The Birth of a Cleric
His reputation as a healer grew, but so did the whispers of his past. Many saw him as a pathetic, sad-looking young priest, trying his best to atone for sins too numerous to count. The weight of his past transgressions seemed to pull him down, yet he persevered, fueled by a fragile hope that perhaps, in saving others, he might one day save himself. The Devil’s Luck
Ivor's "devil's luck" became a point of both fascination and pity among those who encountered him. His uncanny fortune in high-risk situations often led to dangerous gambles, which he barely survived. Each narrow escape only deepened the lines of sorrow on his face, a poignant reminder of the fragile balance he walked between redemption and ruin. Present Day
Ivor's tale is one of quiet desperation and the enduring quest for redemption. With his divine powers and the ever-present coin, he navigates the complexities of his dual nature, seeking to bring hope and healing to those he meets while battling the shadows of his own making.
