[Pathfinder] Base Class: Zealot

Post by Twin Agate Dragons »

Zealot: Pathfinder Database / Scribd
The alignment section should read: Must match that of deity.

What do you fine folks think of this class and do you think it has a place in Ravenloft?

Other than the "Divine Fervor" ability, which is negated by the nature of Ravenloft itself, the zealot is fine-I can see them as agents of any of the faith-based darklords as well as more militant organizations. I especially like that there are no restricted alignments, so they could supporting any cause. :diamabel:

Even Divine Fervor might still work if it's modified to make it a subjective ability, that singles out creatures the zealot thinks are infidels, correctly or otherwise.

Everyone has that ability-it's called discretion. To make it a class feature, however, especially as written, it needs more than "whatever You decide doesn't match the Faith". Perhaps a combination of detect chaos and detect law, with discretion filling in the blanks...
