Does a nuetral cleric of a nuetral diety have the Aura Class Feature?


Rules Questions

Lantern Lodge

I have a cleric of Brigh that would like to get the feat Sacred Summons to quick-summon clockworks.

I have two questions regarding this:

1: While my cleric doesn't detect as any alignment, does it still have the "Aura Class Feature"?
2: Is the abscence of an alignment subtype considered an 'exact match' for the purposes of Sacred Summons?

Noteworthy text:

CRB: Cleric, Aura Class Feature:
Aura (Ex): A cleric of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity's alignment (see the detect evil spell for details).

UM: Sacred Summons:
Prerequisites: Aura class feature, ability to cast summon monster.

Benefit: When using summon monster to summon creatures whose alignment subtype or subtypes exactly match your aura, you may cast the spell as a standard action instead of with a casting time of 1 round.

Lords of Rust: Unique Summon List for Brigh:
Summon Monster I: Clockwork Spy
Summon Monster IV: Clockwork Servant
Summon Monster VI: Clockwork Soldier


Well, the Aura specifically limits it to Evil, Good, Lawful or Chaotic gods. I think you might be out of luck. I wouldn't be opposed to allowing it in a home game though.


Your Diety is not chaotic, evil, good or lawful, so no you don't have an aura one of those alignments. While technically you may have the aura class feature, it doesn't do anything.

There is no alignment aura: Neutral and no alignment type or subtype Neutral, so it is impossible for you to match your aura with a type or subtype.

That feat will not do anything for you.
