Fighter Subclass

Warpriest in Action by Alex Gomes

A fierce divine warrior capable of taking the front lines and is able to manipulate radiant energy with positive or negative elements. This versions has been nerfed because it had an Overpowered set that make very unlikely the approval of a normal DM. Please check the other version if you want reference of the changes.

Fervor

At 3rd level, you learn an unique way to manipulate divine energy focusing either negative or positive elements to it. You can use an Action to shape this energy into a bolt, and choose a target within 30 feet of you. You can choose one of the following effects:

• You can use the energy of your bolt to restore hit points to the target equal to the roll of your fervor dice. The same creature can't benefit from this bolt again until it finishes a long rest.

• You can make a ranged spell attack, using your Wisdom as your spellcasting ability. On a hit, you cause damage equal to 3d6 plus the roll of your fervor dice.

Your fervor equals a number of d6s equal to half your fighter level (rounded down). Some fervor features require a saving throw. The save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. When you gain this feature, you also choose a damage type for your bolt. You can choose either Necrotic (typically associated with evil gods), Radiant (usually for good gods) or Psychic (for neutral gods).
