{{OGL Top}} === Bard Variant: Divine Bard === Not all [[SRD:Bard|bards]] are arcanists; some derive their special powers from a divine tradition. In many primitive cultures, the divine bard takes the place of the cleric or the adept as the guide of the people's religious beliefs. ==== Class Features ==== The divine [[SRD:Bard|bard]] has all the standard [[SRD:Bard|bard]] class features, except as noted below. '''Spellcasting:''' A divine bard learns and casts spells as a normal [[SRD:Bard|bard]], with some minor exceptions. A divine bard's spells are divine spells, not arcane spells. To learn or cast a spell, a divine bard must have a [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score (not [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score) equal to at least 10 + the spell level. All other Spellcasting factors, including bonus spells and save DCs, are still determined using the divine bard's [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score. Like [[SRD:Druid|druids]], [[SRD:Paladin|paladins]], and [[SRD:Ranger|rangers]], divine bards need not designate a specific deity as the source of their spells. However, a divine bard can't cast spells of an alignment that doesn't match his. Thus, divine bards cannot cast lawful spells (since bards can't be lawful). Neutral divine bards can't cast any spells associated with an alignment (and are thus relatively rare). Add the following spells to the divine bard's class spell list: 0 β [[SRD:Create Water|create water]], [[SRD:Cure Minor Wounds|cure minor wounds]]; 1st β [[SRD:Detect Evil|detect evil]]/[[SRD:Detect Good|good]]/[[SRD:Detect Law|law]], [[SRD:Protection from Evil|protection from evil]]/[[SRD:Protection from Good|good]]/[[SRD:Protection from Law|law]]; 2nd β [[SRD:Consecrate|consecrate]], [[SRD:Desecrate|desecrate]], [[SRD:Gentle Repose|gentle repose]]; 3rd β [[SRD:Magic Circle against Evil|magic circle against evil]]/[[SRD:Magic Circle against Good|good]]/[[SRD:Magic Circle against Law|law]], [[SRD:Prayer|prayer]]; 4th β [[SRD:Remove Disease|remove disease]], [[SRD:Speak with Dead|speak with dead]], [[SRD:Sending|sending]]; 5th β [[SRD:Divination|divination]], [[SRD:Restoration|restoration]]; 6th β [[SRD:Commune|commune]], [[SRD:Hallow|hallow]], [[SRD:Unhallow|unhallow]], [[SRD:Raise Dead|raise dead]]. {{UA Variant Classes Footer}}
