Divine Paragon
Divine paragons strive to emulate their god’s ideals as closely as possible. They might see themselves as an incarnation of their deity in the flesh, or they could simply seek to embody the physical and spiritual ideals set forth by their deity. Many divine paragons go as far as to alter their appearance, as best as possible, to look similar to their chosen deity, but such a level of devotion is not required by the archetype.
When the divine paragon selects their domains, they must designate one of the two domains they gain as their devoted domain. They gain all of this domain’s granted powers and domain spells normally. For their other domain, they gain only its domain spells—they do not gain any of the granted powers of that domain. Instead, they must choose from the evangelist, exalted, or sentinel boons granted by their deity. At 5th level, they gain access to the first boon granted by their deity.
At 11th level, they gain access to the second boon. At 14th level, they gain access to the third boon.
In order to retain access to their domain spells, the domain powers of their devoted domain, and the boons granted by Deific Obedience, the divine paragon must perform their obedience daily. If they fail to do so, they lose access to these abilities until they next perform their obedience (but they can still cast spells, channel energy, and perform other abilities granted by their cleric levels).

Devoted Domain
A divine paragon is intensely devoted to a single deity, and their alignment must be identical to their deity’s alignment. They gain Deific Obedience as a bonus feat, even if they don’t meet the feat’s prerequisites. They gain access to their boons at an accelerated rate (see below) rather than the standard HD-based rate granted by Deific Obedience (and as such cannot benefit from the accelerated rate granted by the Deific Obedience feat).When the divine paragon selects their domains, they must designate one of the two domains they gain as their devoted domain. They gain all of this domain’s granted powers and domain spells normally. For their other domain, they gain only its domain spells—they do not gain any of the granted powers of that domain.

Divine Brand (Ex)
At 1st level, a mark appears somewhere on the divine paragon’s body. The mark’s location varies by individual and faith, but takes the form of the deity’s holy symbol and generally appears in a location easy to display, such as on the hand, forearm, chest, or face. An uncovered divine brand functions as a holy (or unholy) symbol and as a divine focus for spellcasting. The divine paragon’s aura is even more powerful than a typical cleric’s as a result of their devotion, and their cleric level is treated as 1 higher for the purpose of determining the Strength of their aura when it is viewed by spells like detect good.This ability alters aura.
