Sacred Purification/Profane Corruption Buff

Unread post by Ravial »

Hello all!

I suppose it's an official coming soon, now! Sacred Purification is going to get a considerable buff from what it was before. I'll explain it more in detail.

Sacred Purification is a Divine Feat that is obtainable for any Divine Caster class that takes Extra Turning Feat. The feat allows your divine caster to spend one Turn Undead attempt to deal 1d8 + cha mod worth of damage to undead and heal your allies. As you can see, after doing the math yourselves, that's worthless.

As such, I've shamelessly stolen and altered an idea that Pathfinder came up with a replacement for their Turn Undead, which they've called Channel Energy. Sacred Purification will be now doing 1d6 per CL / 2 + Charisma Modifier worth of damage to undead and heal your allies for the same. Each creature will be made a separate roll for the amount of healing/damage they're receiving and the undead will be forced to make a Will Saving throw for half-damage, just like with Cure Wounds spells when used as an attack on the forces of the unliving.

Worry not evil Clerics and other followers of malign entities! Profane Corruption comes as your saviour, as it is the newly created counterpart to Sacred Purification. The evil variation of the feat will be doing exactly the opposite of its good aligned sibling, which is using Negative Energy to deal damage to anything living and heal undead at the same time. The feat will follow exactly same formula- the effect will be simply the other way around. Another important change is that Profane Corruption will force a fortitude save for half-damage, just like any other negative-energy based spell.

The Requirements for the feats will be like this:
Requirements for the Feats
Sacred Purification
Required:
  • Turn Undead
  • Extra Turning
  • Good or Neutral alignment
Profane Corruption
Required:
  • Turn Undead
  • Extra Turning
  • Evil Alignment

This is how the end result will work for a level 30 cleric, as an example:

I've changed it to allow Neutral Aligned clerics to choose either, since it turned out that was just simpler.

The most I've managed to affect was around ~40 creatures at once.

It has been since around a month or two now! I've been doing some bugfixes on it, but it's working and working well right now.

Not at all. Improved and Empowered turning are feats specifically for Turn Undead and they remain as such.
