Trait: Divine Warrior


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I'm not sure how many people have gotten into traits yet, but was looking through them, and was wondering on how you think the mechanics of "Divine Warrior works. Here's the description:

"From an early age, you were trained by militaristic order of clerics. You are devoted both to the teachings of Iomadae and to spreading those teachings by force. Your divine spells gain a +1 trait bonus to melee weapon damage."

So does that mean the every time you cast a spell with a duration, you gain a +1 bonus to melee weapon damage? What's people's views on this?

I can't seem to find that exact trait. Just wondering where it came from.

The way I read what you have listed is that it would only apply this bonus for spells that increased the damage of your weapon. In example Magic Weapon when cast by a character with Divine Warrior trait would gain +1H +2D with the weapon it was cast on. This would be instead of the normal +1H+1D.

Is that really all the trait says?


While it is not super official there is a form of errata for that in the PFS Guide to Organised Play.

Note that Divine Warrior should read “Your damaging divine spells gain a +1 trait bonus to damage”

The trait is from the Taldor Pathfinder Companion


Okay, the errata verbiage makes more sense! Thanks!
