Subclass Features
Patron Spells
Your newly revealed Patron ensures you always have certain spells prepared. You know the following spells and they do not count towards the number of spells you can prepare.
Rebuke the Sinful
You rebuke those that defy the light and law of Heaven. When you see a creature being damaged or making an Deception or Intimidation check within 60 ft of you, you can use your reaction to force them to make a DEX saving throw DC equal to your spell save DC. On a failed save they take 2D10 Radiant damage or half as much on a successful save.
You can use this feature times per long rest equal to your CHA modifier (Minimum 1).
Blade of Justice
You are blessed with a blade that will never fail you as long as you remain in service of heaven. You learn the spell Flame Blade and it does not count towards the number of spells you can learn. You can cast it once per long rest using an action without spending a spell slot. When it is cast this way it does not require Concentration and lasts for 1 minute.
The blade deals Radiant damage in place of Fire damage.
Reproach the Wicked
The authority you gained from your faithful service empowers your words. Your Rebuke the Sinful deals 4D10 Radiant damage.
Master of Mercy and Justice
