Introduction

“We stand between the immortal and the mortal, the divine and the

earthly, the material and the sublime. Our duty is clear—bring the

light, purge the darkness, and shield the faithful from the grasping

claw of evil!”

—Dassak Torchin, paladin of the Shining Light of Pelor

alignment and domain choices. But these people still gain

divine power, so some source of it must exist.

Religions Are Not Absolute: With very few exceptions,

any character, of any race or alignment, can worship any deity.

Yes, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for a chaotic evil half-orc to

worship Moradin Dwarffather, and this book tells you why,

but not everyone who follows Hextor is lawful evil. Some

lawful neutral types who believe in a benevolent dictator-

ship might well feel that the God of Tyranny has the right

approach. It’s a scary thought, but deﬁ nitely possible.

Not Everyone Worships the Same Way: Get used to this

idea, because it’s a recurring theme in this book. Even clerics

of the same deity might approach worship and holy missions

in different ways. A neutral good cleric of Pelor probably has

a completely different interpretation of his god’s will than

a lawful good paladin of Pelor does—yet both gain divine

power and inspiration from the same ultimate source.

This book deals with the above issues and more, providing

both game mechanical and roleplaying reasons for a character

to embrace the beliefs and tenets of a D&D religion. First

introduced in the Complete Divine supplement, the term

“divine character” refers to one who has chosen a religious

path—even if she is not a cleric, druid, or paladin.

In the medieval fantasy world of the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS

game, religion can become simply a means to an end—a

different sort of resource to exploit on the road to power.

Paladins, clerics, and a few other divine classes become the

faces of religion in the typical D&D campaign, but many

players and DMs devote little thought toward how the divine

really affects the world.

This book is dedicated to changing that conception. It gives

every character in the D&D world a tie to the divine and a

chance to gain beneﬁ ts (both roleplaying and mechanical)

from worshiping a deity or an ideal—or even from simply

following a cause. Your character doesn’t have to sacriﬁ ce at

a temple or give up doing what he likes to do best—after all,

the D&D game is about coming up with interesting ways to

have fun. This book turns the myths and legends of the D&D

game into usable features of the campaign world and shows

you how to make them work best for your character.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY

To use this book, you will need the three D&D core rule-

books—the Player’s Handbook (PH), Dungeon Master’s Guide

(DMG), and Monster Manual (MM) . Though no other books

are strictly necessary, a few will undoubtedly enhance your

enjoyment of this product. Complete Divine is an excellent

additional resource, offering additional mechanics that

complement those found in this book. Also, Complete Warrior

includes includes several feats mentioned herein.

Throughout this book, superscript abbreviations are often

used to denote game elements and other materials that appear

in certain supplements. Those supplements and their abbre-

viations are as follows: Complete Adventurer (CAd), Complete

Arcane (CAr), Complete Divine (CD), Complete Warrior (CW),

Expanded Psionics Handbook (EPH), Heroes of Horror (HH),

Miniatures Handbook (MH), Spell Compendium (SC), Tome of

Magic (ToM), and Unearthed Arcana (UA).

An asterisk (*) following the name of a game element

denotes an item described in this book.

TRUE BELIEVERS?

In a world of monsters, magic, and miracles, belief in deities

ought to be automatic. But your character’s beliefs are entirely

up to you as a player. What your character believes and how

she practices (or fails to practice) a religion aren’t aspects of

the character that rulebooks should dictate. However, the

following tenets are central to the game.

Deities Do Exist: Kord, Hextor, Tiamat, Obad-Hai, and the

other D&D deities are all out there someplace. Your character

might not believe that these beings are deities—she might say

that they’re simply creatures with powers beyond the norm

for the Material Plane—but it’s very difﬁ cult to disbelieve

their existence entirely.

The Power of Belief Is Manifest: Some of those who

wield divine power do not follow particular deities. Many

druids do not worship Obad-Hai (or any other nature deity),

and some clerics simply follow ideals in keeping with their

SWIFT AND IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

The Miniatures Handbook introduced the concept of a new action

type: the swift action. Likewise, Expanded Psionics Handbook in-

troduced another new action type: the immediate action. Some

of the class features, spells, and items in Complete Champion use

these concepts. A description of how they work follows.

Swift Action: A swift action consumes a very small amount of

time but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than

a free action. You can perform one swift action per turn without af-

fecting your ability to perform other actions. In that regard, a swift

action is like a free action. However, you can perform only a single

swift action per turn, regardless of what other actions you take.

Casting a quickened spell is a swift action, as is casting any spell

with a casting time of 1 swift action (such as iconic manifestation;

see page 122). This kind of swift action does not provoke attacks

of opportunity.

Immediate Action: Much like a swift action, an immediate

action consumes a very small amount of time but represents a

larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. Unlike

a swift action, an immediate action can be performed at any

time—even if it’s not your turn.

Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using

a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn. If you

use an immediate action when it is not your turn, you cannot

perform another immediate action or swift action until after your

nex t turn. (Ef fec tively, using an immediate ac tion before your turn

is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn.) You

also cannot use an immediate action if you are flat-footed.
