So, one of my players really wanted to play a divine caster with arcanist style casting. We searched through, but realized that there aren't any. So, I decided to try my hand at making one.
The paragon class is a mixture of the arcanist and oracle, using cleric, oracle, and shaman mechanics to create something that is hopefully very close in scope and power level to other pathfinder classes. You can read the full class description here:
I would love feedback!
I'm not a fan of basing an entire class around the obedience mechanic. That feels more fitting for archetypes and prestige classes. To each their own though.
I do like the general idea of an arcanist-style divine caster, but I think it should be less attached to a deity than the standard cleric, instead of more attached.

The way I interpret it, the cost of being able to pick and choose which divine spells you get to cast and how many of them you get to cast is that you must be extremely close and devoted to the deity that gives them to you, so much so that they grant you special favor.
