Divine Wrath

At level 5, Divine Wrath grants +3 to attack, divine damage, saves, and -20% damage taken for a number of rounds equal to their charisma modifier plus half of their Divine Champion level. At level 10, these bonuses increase by an additional +2. This ability also provides 5/+5 DR for its duration. Divine Wrath works on a charge-based system, capping at a maximum of 3 charges that independently refresh 6 minutes after use. This ability is undispellable and is a free action to use.

(Note the damage immunity provides no feedback and is separate from all other immunity)

Tips: Becoming a Divine Champion

• Paladins gain some of the fighter's combat abilities by choosing to become a divine champion.
• Conversely, fighters gain paladin-like abilities by playing this prestige class.
• Militant clerics may also find this prestige class appealing.
• This class should also be very interesting for rogues because it gives increased saving throws, fighter-like abilities like bonus feats, increased base attack bonus and hit points while continuing a high reflex save.
• Sorcerers have a synergy with this class as a high charisma improves many divine champion abilities.
