Virtuous

You choose one Heavenly Virtue to champion above the others. Choose one of the following:

You can channel your power through and create your own form of Hallowed Ground, your Divine Territory that exists to further your cause and enable you to perform your duty. You can use an action to place your Divine Territory. It remains in a gently glowing square with each side being 5 ft times your Saint level. The nature of the Divine Territory varies widely based on the Virtue of the Saint. The Divine Territory remains in place regardless of whether or not you are within the area. Unlike other Divine Territories the Divine Territory of a Virtuous Saint only is effective while the Saint who created it is within the area. It has the following features:

• Humility- Good Aligned creatures feel meek and calm within the area. Creatures of your choice can use a bonus action on each of their turns to look inward and improve themselves, granting them advantage on their next D20 test before the start of their next turn. Outside of combat targets can gain this benefit once every minute.

• Chastity- Evil Aligned creatures are unnerved within the area. Creatures of your choice have a 1D4 penalty to attack as their passions are reigned in. Fiends have a 1D6 penalty instead.

• Kindness- Good Aligned creatures feel peace within the area. Creatures of your choice gain temporary hit points equal to your Saint level when you first activate this feature and they gain temporary hit points at the start of their turn if they have no temporary hit points equal to your Proficiency bonus.

• Patience- Evil Aligned creatures feel sleepy or lethargic within the area. Creatures of your choice have their movement speeds reduced by 20 ft to a maximum of 5 ft.

• Diligence- Good Aligned creatures feel empowered and energetic within the area. Creatures of your choice have their movement speed increased by 10 ft and if a creature under this effect misses an attack roll they roll their next attack with a 1D6 bonus or until one minute has passed.

• Temperance- Good Aligned creatures feel firm and assured within the area. Creatures of your choice have advantage on saving throws against being Frightened or Charmed and saving throws to end being Frightened or Charmed.

• Charity- Evil Aligned creatures feel uneasy and guilty within the area. When you create your Divine Territory you can sacrifice up to all your hit points minus 1 and each creature of your choice regains that many hit points.

You can use this feature once per long rest or you can regain the use of this feature by expending a 1st or higher level spell slot (No action required). If you create a new Divine Territory, the first Divine Territory ends.

Your Oath and devotion grant you certain spells. You know the following spells and they do not count towards the number of spells you can prepare.

Your Holy Calling manifests additional prayers you can use with your Saint’s Prayers feature.

Prayer for Virtue: You utter a prayer censoring the sinner and encouraging the penitent. You pray for 10 minutes and at the end of the Prayer any Good Aligned creature that heard the Prayer to its completion has a +8 bonus to their next saving throw for the next 2 hours. Any Evil Aligned creatures that heard the Prayer to its completion have a -8 penalty to their next saving throw.

Prayer for Love: You utter a sincere prayer expressing love and praying for others to feel loved. You pray for 10 minutes and at the end of the Prayer you and up to 6 creatures of your choice gain a +2 bonus to their AC or saving throws (Their choice) for the next hour as feelings of love shield the group. This Prayer fails if there are any feelings of animosity between any of the targets.

Your virtue is a boon to yourself and those around you. You and creatures of your choice within 15 ft of you have a +1 bonus to all saving throws.

By the authority you have as a Saint you command a certain right to judge others righteously. You can use an action to Favorably Judge a target or Harshly Judge a target within 60 ft of you.

Favorable Judge: You judge them to be virtuous. Holy light shines on them healing them 3D6 hit points and ending one condition from among the following conditions on them: Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, Petrified, or Poisoned.

Harshly Judge: You judge them to be sinners. Holy light scorches them forcing them to make a DEX saving throw DC equal to your spell save DC taking 2D6 Fire damage and 2D6 Radiant damage. Evil Aligned creatures have disadvantage on this saving throw.

You can use this feature once per long rest. You can expend a 3rd level or higher spell slot to regain the use of this feature (No action required).

The Mark of the Virtuous has appeared on you in the form of an ancient rune appearing on a visible position of the Saint’s body. The rune shines gently with the script being the word for their chosen Virtue. The rune restricts the Saint and tests them.

You can use an action and choose a creature within 60 ft of you and the Stigmata appears on them in the form of a burning symbol of your rune burning behind them. A creature marked this way takes 1D12 Radiant damage at the start of each of its turns while it is within 300 ft of you. The Stigmata remains on the target until they die or after 1 hour passes in which it returns to you.

• Diligence to Sloth- With the Mark of Sloth a grim throne appears within your movement speed that you then move to and sit upon.

You can make a Sleight of Hand check and on a success check against the target’s Perception check you snatch an item that can fit in your hand and through the portal. If you fail the check as part of the action you can make an unarmed strike with advantage dealing 1D8 magical Slashing damage on a hit as you lash out in anger.

Every Saint grows in power until a Relic of great power manifests itself to the Saint it is destined for. The powers of the Relic are unique to the Saint and cannot be used by any other unless the Saint has passed on and wills a successor to be able to wield it. The Relic of the Virtuous takes the form of a mask shaped in a manner reflecting the Virtue the Saint embodies.

The Relic of the Virtuous and contours to becoming a vile reflection while the Saint is being tested by sin. For instance the Mask of Pride would be in the image of an Archdevil or similar figure.
