Class Features

Divine Artisan

At level 1, you gain an additional proficiency in a tool or skill of your choice and expertise in a skill or tool with which you already have proficiency. You may now use tools with which you are proficient as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.  

Blessed Craftsmanship

Starting at 1st level, you have learned to imbue crafted items with the blessings of your prophet, enhancing them. You can spend 10 minutes to touch and bless an object with a blessing from the blessing list. The blessing remain on an object indefinitely unless a blessing is added to an already blessed object, then the first blessing vanishes.  

Channel Divinity: Miracle of Creation

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your channel divinity to touch a object and imbue it with a divine spark, turning it into a miracle. Choose 3 miracles from the miracle list to learn, at 8th level this increases to 5 known miracles. A miracle works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the miracle's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement (see the attunement rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide).   Your miracle remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the miracle vanishes. The miracle also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the miracle. Whenever you gain a level, you may choose to switch 1 of your known miracles for a miracle in the list.   The maximum number of objects with miracles is equal to your proficiency modifier. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your miracles can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your miracles at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest miracle ends, and then the new miracle applies.   If a miracle ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.  

Channel Divinity: Material Overcharge

At 6th level, your understanding of the physical world around you allows you to use divine energy to charge a crafted item to the point the material fails catastrophically. As an action, choose one mundane crafted item that is less than 10 pounds that you can see within of 30 feet of you which causes the item to explode. Each creature in a 15-foot cube centered on that item must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 2d6 nonmagical piercing damage and 3d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.  

Improved Artisanry

At 8th level, choose two more of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and one of your tool proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.  

Apotheosis

At 17th level, you have become able to manifest some of the most powerful blessings available to material creations. You can choose one miracle whose requirement includes Apotheosis from the miracle list to learn. This miracle does not count towards your number of known miracles.   Whenever you gain a level, you may replace your apotheosis miracle with another from the miracle list. The miracle disappears when you replace your knowledge of the miracle.
