Introduction
"We stand between the immortal and the mortal, the divine and the
earthly, the material and the sublime. Our duty is dear — bring the
light, purge the darkness, and shield the faithful from the grasping
claw of evil!"
—Dassak Torchin, paladin of the Shining Light of Pelor
alignment and domain choices. But these people still gain
divine power, so some source of it must exist.
Religions Are Not Absolute: With very few exceptions,
any character, of any race or alignment, can worship any deity.
Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense for a chaotic evil half-orc to
worship Moradin Dwarffather, and this book tells you why,
but not everyone who follows Hextor is lawful evil. Some
lawful neutral types who believe in a benevolent dictator­
ship might well feel that the God of Tyranny has the right
approach. It's a scary thought, but definitely possible.
Not Everyone Worships the Same Way: Get used to this
idea, because it's a recurring theme in this book. Even clerics
of the same deity might approach worship and holy missions
in different ways. A neutral good cleric of Pelor probably has
a completely different interpretation of his god's will than
a lawful good paladin of Pelor does—yet both gain divine
power and inspiration from the same ultimate source.
This book deals with the above issues and more, providing
both game mechanical and roleplaying reasons for a character
to embrace the beliefs and tenets of a D&D religion. First
introduced in the Complete Divine supplement, the term
"divine character" refers to one who has chosen a religious
path—even if she is not a cleric, druid, or paladin.
In the medieval fantasy world of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS
game, religion can become simply a means to an end—a
different sort of resource to exploit on the road to power.
Paladins, clerics, and a few other divine classes become the
faces of religion in the typical D&D campaign, but many
players and DMs devote little thought toward how the divine
really affects the world.
This book is dedicated to changing that conception. It gives
every character in the D&D world a tie to the divine and a
chance to gain benefits (both roleplaying and mechanical)
from worshiping a deity or an ideal—or even from simply
following a cause. Your character doesn't have to sacrifice at
a temple or give up doing what he likes to do best—after all,
the D&D game is about coming up with interesting ways to
have fun. This book turns the myths and legends of the D&D
game into usable features of the campaign world and shows
you how to make them work best for your character.
WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY
To use this book, you will need the three D&D core rule­
books—the "Player's Handbook (PH), Dungeon Master's Guide
(DMG), and Monster Manual (MM). Though no other books
are strictly necessary, a few will undoubtedly enhance your
enjoyment of this product. Complete Divine is an excellent
additional resource, offering additional mechanics that
complement those found in this book. Also, Complete Warrior
includes includes several feats mentioned herein.
Throughout this book, superscript abbreviations are often
used to denote game elements and other materials that appear
in certain supplements. Those supplements and their abbre­
viations are as follows: Complete Adventurer (CAd), Complete
Arcane (CAr), Complete Divine (CD), Complete Warrior (CW),
Expanded Psionics Handbook (EPH), Heroes of Horror (HH),
Miniatures Handbook (MH), Spell Compendium (SC), Tome of
Magic (ToM), and Unearthed Arcana (UA).
An asterisk (*) following the name of a game element
denotes an item described in this book.
TRUE BELIEVERS?
In a world of monsters, magic, and miracles, belief in deities
ought to be automatic. But your character's beliefs are entirely
up to you as a player. What your character believes and how
she practices (or fails to practice) a religion aren't aspects of
the character that rulebooks should dictate. However, the
following tenets are central to the game.
Deities Do Exist: Kord, Hextor, Tiamat, Obad-Hai, and the
other D&D deities are all out there someplace. Your character
might not believe that these beings are deities—she might say
that they're simply creatures with powers beyond the norm
for the Material Plane—but it's very difficult to disbelieve
their existence entirely.
The Power of Belief Is Manifest: Some of those who
wield divine power do not follow particular deities. Many
druids do not worship Obad-Hai (or any other nature deity),
and some clerics simply follow ideals in keeping with their
SWIFT AND IMMEDIATE ACTIONS
The Miniatures Handbook introduced the concept of a new action
type: the swift action. Likewise, Expanded Psionics Handbook in­
troduced another new action type: the immediate action. Some
of the class features, spells, and items in Complete Champion use
these concepts. A description of how they work follows.
Swift Action: A swift action consumes a very small amount of
time but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than
a free action. You can perform one swift action per turn without af­
fecting your ability to perform other actions. In that regard, a swift
action is like a free action. However, you can perform only a single
swift action per turn, regardless of what other actions you take.
Casting a quickened spell is a swift action, as is casting any spell
with a casting time of! swift action (such as iconic manifestation;
see page 122). This kind of swift action does not provoke attacks
of opportunity.
Immediate Action: Much like a swift action, an immediate
action consumes a very small amount of time but represents a
larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. Unlike
a swift action, an immediate action can be performed at any
time—even if it's not your turn.
Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using
a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn. If you
use an immediate action when it is not your turn, you cannot
perform another immediate action or swift action until after your
next turn. (Effectively, using an immediate action before your turn
is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn. ) You
also cannot use an immediate action if you are flat-footed.

divine character in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game
is unique in one special respect: He has ties to an
organization from the very beginning. Whether or
not he chooses to acknowledge those ties is your
decision as a player. But even if he does not formally
embrace the relationship, a church can still affect a divine
character's beliefs and attitudes*
This chapter details the non-evil churches of the D&D pan­
theon as affiliations, using the affiliation rules introduced in
Chapter 7 of the Player's Handbook II supplement. If you've ever
wondered what the church would demand of a divine charac­
ter in a given situation, you should find this material useful.
The descriptions also present a few unique bits of doctrine
relevant to each church, as well as affiliation advancement
and benefit tables. Feel free to use the information presented
in these descriptions to flesh out your character.
The rest of this chapter presents the cleric domains given
in the Flayer's Handbook, also presented here as affiliations.
Each domain can serve as an affiliation in its own right,
or it can be used to form the affiliations for deities in your
own campaign.
THE D&D CHURCHES
The church descriptions that follow use a simplified version
of the affiliation format first presented in Flayer's Handbook
II. All share the following common elements.
Symbol: The symbol of each church is its deity's
holy symbol, as pictured in Chapter 6 of the Flayer's
Handbook. Typically, a church displays its holy symbol
prominently, but its representatives might choose to
keep it concealed while traveling through an area
hostile to their deity.
Type: All churches are considered temple affilia­
tions, even those associated with racial deities such
as Moradin or Gruumsh. As for category, the social
network of the church is much more important to
its function than its racial ties are.
Enemies and Allies: Where appropriate, this
entry summarizes the sorts of beings who are hostile
to and friendly to the church.
Scale: The scale of a church as an affiliation is gener­
ally high, since most religions span wide regions. See
Table 7-1: Affiliation Scale, PH2 184.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH?
Each church presented here is the default interpretation for
the main church of one of the core game's deities. Any church
can incorporate several sects with different attitudes and ap­
proaches. For example, nothing stops you from playing a cleric
of Moradin who believes that only the working of iron, gold,
and other metals (as opposed to any raw materials) is a true
tribute to the dwarf deity.
