Exorcist Spells

Level 3: Exorcism

You gain the ability to imbue divine energy through your holy symbol to expel evil entities in the area, or purge their harmful effects from your allies.

When you use this feature, you choose which effect to create. You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Proficiency Bonus rounded down, you regain all expended uses on a Short or Long Rest. If an Exorcism effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals your Apothecary spell save DC. Starting at level 5, when an Undead or Fiend fails its saving throw against your Expel Evil feature, that creature suffers 4d8 Radiant damage.

Expel Evil. As a Magic Action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring creatures that mean you harm. Each Undead, Celestial, Fey, or Fiend that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take Reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Purge Corruption. As a Magic action, you touch a creature or item and can end either one condition afflicting it. The condition can be Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, or Poisoned.

Additionally, if a creature is possessed or mind controlled by a spirit or foreign entity, you can use this feature to remove any traits or other features related to the possession. If possessed, the creature possessing it is shunted out of its host to an unoccupied space within 5 feet and takes Psychic damage equal to 2d8 + your Apothecary level.

Level 6: Sacred Vessel

You are immune to the Frightened condition, and cannot be possessed or cursed. You also have Advantage on saving throws against being Charmed.

Level 10: Negation

As a Reaction when a hostile creature you can see targets an ally with an attack, spell, or other effect, you can expend an Apothecary spell slot to force it to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the Action they were attempting fails and resources used are wasted.

Level 14: Empowered Healing

Whenever you cast a spell that heals a creature, that spell deals maximum healing and the creature immediately gains Temporary Hit Points equal to your Apothecary level.

Level 18: Devout Witness

As a Devout Witness, you speak on behalf of your gods and can feel their powers surging through you. Commanding spirits and vanquishing evil is second nature to you. You have added benefits that bolster your abilities.

Banish Evil. Creatures who fail their saving throws against your Exorcism: Expel Evil feature take an additional 4d8 Radiant damage.

Fortify Good. Creatures who are aided by your Exorcism: Purge Corruption feature gain 4d8 Temporary Hit Points.
