Seraph Subclass — Hellfire Preacher

Class: Seraph

Recommended Domains: Splendor (life, radiance) & Valor (protection, wrath)

Spellcast Trait: Presence

Tone Tag: A firebrand prophet who turns sermons into weapons; faith without mercy, belief as ammunition.

FOUNDATION FEATURE — Sermon of Flame

Once per long rest, as an action, you may unleash a blazing sermon that sears the guilty and steels the faithful.

Choose any number of creatures within Close range who can hear you.

• Allies gain temporary hit points equal to your Presence modifier + your level, and advantage on rolls against being charmed or frightened until your next turn.
• Enemies make a Presence save against your roll:
  • On a failure: They mark 2 Hit Points and become Frightened until the end of their next turn.
  • On a success: They mark 1 Hit Point.

Fiends, undead, and aberrations automatically fail their first save against this ability each day.

SPECIALIZATION FEATURE — Voice of Conviction

Once per rest, when an ally within Far range fails an action roll, you may intercede with divine rhetoric:

• Spend 1 Hope. They reroll their Fear die.
• If they succeed, both of you clear 1 Stress.
• If they fail again, you mark 1 Stress instead — your faith wavers.
