(ACG) War Blessing Feat for Oracles?


Rules Questions

Sczarni

The War Blessing Feat says it requires a Domain or Mystery, so it seems it's designed to be a thing Oracles can get... but I have no idea which Blessings an Oracle Mystery qualifies you for.

"Choose two warpriest blessings when you take this feat. Each of these blessings must be tied to a domain granted by your deity or to one of the two domains that represent your spiritual inclination and abilities."

I assume the "one of the two domains that represent your spiritual inclination and abilities" line is referring to Oracles. Nowhere in the Mystery descriptions do I find any references to which Domains are related to each Mystery. What Blessings can a Bones Oracle or Life Oracle pick from?

Obviously I'd say Death for Bones and Healing for Life, but the Feat specifically says "one of the two domains" so.. there should be a second, right? How do you figure that out? Is the second half of Bones... Darkness? Destruction? Evil? Magic? Do Life Oracles choose from Healing and... Good? Protection?


Actually, the "spiritual inclinations and abilities" line is likely referring to the rules for atheist clerics that follow an ideal and pick their own domains.

It doesn't seem like the feat supports Oracles at all, but because they qualify for it they must be able to pick from the blessings their deity provides, regardless of their mystery.


Or possibly just play an atheist oracle if you want that feat?

War Blessing

Your fervent call to your deity imbues you with a temporary blessing.
Prerequisite: Mystery or domain class feature.
Benefit: Choose two warpriest blessings when you take this feat. Each of these blessings must be tied to a domain granted by your deity or to one of the two domains that represent your spiritual inclination and abilities.

I would say that an oracle would pick two blessing that are in line with their spiritual inclination, i.e. Mystery. Look at your Mystery, your character concept and pick two that go with it.

But don't forget:

Quote:
A warpriest without a deity can select any two blessings (subject to GM approval).

So if your DM doesn't agree with you, work with him and pick out two that you both think work with your concept.

I'm thinking mostly for PFS, which tends to be kinda strict with rules, but yeah... the Feat itself is extremely vague. I guess Death and Repose work pretty well for a Bones Oracle.

um wouldnt the " Each of these blessings must be tied to a domain granted by your deity" work as well, since i know my oracle worships besmara i think that mean i can pick from her domains for the blessing. at least thats how im reading that lol

Edit: cuase it actually doesnt say Patron diety wich is what a cleric has lol just noticed that
