Disciple

The Radiant Church, a beacon of hope and strength, raised you, training you in the teachings of the Radiant One. As a disciple, you were immersed in the Church's lore, its ideals of benevolence born of resilience and fortitude, and its promise of a prosperous future. You were taught to shine your light into the darkness, to lead the way for others, and to be a pillar of strength in times of adversity. Whether you're an ardent believer, a skeptic questioning your faith, or someone seeking to wield the Church's influence, your time in the Church has undoubtedly shaped your worldview and your identity.

Features

Your skill set varies depending on the role you serve within the Church, pick from the following features the one that is most appropriate for your character, with your GM's approval.

Divine Guidance

You have spent countless hours praying, studying scriptures, and performing rituals. Your devotion is so great that it draws the attention of the Radiant One, or so you believe. You can call upon this divine favor to guide your path. Once per day, you may ask your deity for guidance. How this guidance manifests can vary—a sudden insight, a prophetic dream, or perhaps a subtle sign in the environment around you.

Forceful Miracle

Through your dedicated service, you have harnessed the powers of the Radiant One. In the most dire of situations, you may extract this power for a miracle. However, these miracles are not to be taken lightly and should not be used frivolously. The miracle cannot be stronger in power than a spell of level equal to half your character level (rounded down, minimum 1st level). After a miracle has been granted, your hit points maximum are lowered by an amount equal to your character level for 1d12 days, and you must perform a significant service for the Radiant One to regain this miracle.

Scribe of Radiance

You've spent years studying the ancient scripts and texts of the Radiant Church, and with time, you've become a skilled scribe. Not only can you flawlessly replicate any scripture, but you can also identify and understand most religious texts related to your faith. This ability can prove invaluable when deciphering forgotten scriptures or understanding cryptic prophecies.

Suggested Characteristics

You have dedicated your life to the Radiant One, and its teachings have molded you. Your faith may be the source of your strength, or it might be a yoke that weighs you down. Regardless, you are certain of the power of the Church and its role in your life.
