Divine Sense

The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the succubus Lady Amandine, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the Hallow spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

Fighting Style

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

• Defense: While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

• Dueling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

• Great Weapon Fighting: When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

• Protection: When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Divine Aether

You gain the Holy Spirit option of your Divine Aether feature. You also learn the sacred flame cantrip, its DC is equal to your Divine Aether save DC. If a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your Sacred Flame spell or your Holy Spirit, they take half damage.

Spirits Within

At 7th level you can synchronize your movements with your channeling of divine magic. When you use your action to use Holy Spirit or cast Sacred Flame, you can make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

Holy Circle

At 13th level you can manifest your light as a mighty burst. When you use your Holy Spirit, you can choose to make it a 10 foot radius sphere centered on the targeted creature.

Requiescat

At 17th level you can amplify the light within you as a bonus action. For a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier, or until you choose to end this feature as a bonus action, you can use your Holy Spirit as a bonus action. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

Divine Aether

You gain the Clemency option of your Divine Aether feature. Your Clemency cures the target of one disease or neutralizes one poison affecting it. When you use Clemency to restore hit points to your ward, the healing done is maximized.

Intervene

At 7th level, your devotion to protect can spur you to almost inhuman speed. When you are within 30 feet of your ward, and that creature is the target of an attack that you can see, you can use your reaction to move to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your ward and swap places with your ward. You can then choose to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature. You then become the target of the attack.

Divine Veil

At 13th level, you become more proficient with your protective magics. When you use your Clemency on yourself, all allies within 20 feet of you gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled.

Sentinel

At 17th level, as a bonus action, you can shroud yourself and your ward in protective magic. For a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier, or until you choose to end this feature as a bonus action, you have resistance to all damage. While your ward is within 30 feet of you, they also get this benefit. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

Divine Aether

You gain the Atonement option of your Divine Aether feature. When you damage a creature with Atonement, it takes an additional 1d8 damage if it is a fiend or undead.

Relentless Pursuit

By 7th level, your supernatural focus helps you close off a foe's retreat. When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, you can move up to half your speed immediately after the attack and as part of the same reaction. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

Enlight

At 13th level you channel your righteous might into your weapon. When you damage a creature with Atonement, your successful melee weapon attacks inflict an additional 1d8 radiant damage until the end of your next turn.

Fight or Flight

At 17th level, as a bonus action, you can enter a state of divine fury. For a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier, or until you choose to end this feature as a bonus action, you have advantage on all melee attack rolls and all your attacks gain the benefit of your Enlight feature. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.
