Fervor
At 1st level, the Warpriest, instead of magic, learns a unique way to manipulate radiant energy focusing either negative or positive elements to it. The Warpriest shapes that energy into a bolt and throws it to a target within 30 feet; If the bolt has positive energy the target is healed; if the bolt has negative energy make a ranged spell attack against the target, on a hit the target takes radiant damage. The hit die for this ability is located in the Warpriest Table. You can use this ability as many times as your Wisdom modifier plus 1 by every 4 levels in this class (rounded down starting in 1). You regain all charges after a long rest and 1 charge after a short rest.
Undead and demons take an additional 1d6 of damage.
If your God is evil change the radiant damage for necrotic damage in every skill, and now instead to deal extra damage to Devils, Demons and Undeads it does to Celestials and Fey.
If your God is neutral change the radiant damage for force damage in every class skill.
