Soulspy

In the eternal war between good and evil, between light and darkness, between life and death, there are many types of participants on each side. Soulspies are agents of the divine who lurk in the shadows, taking a less-visible role in the fight. Occasionally, they aid other agents of their deities, but most often they locate and manage or eliminate threats to their deities that more scrupulous agents might be unwilling or unable to handle.

## Features

### Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells drawn from the magic of a divine entity.

#### Cantrips

You learn three cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn another cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

#### Spell Slots

The Soulspy Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend one of these slots at the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell inflict wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast inflict wounds using either slot.

#### Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the abjuration and necromancy spells on the cleric spell list. The Spells Known column of the Soulspy Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an abjuration or necromancy spell and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can be from any school of magic.

When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the cleric spells you know and replace it with another spell from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an abjuration or necromancy spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

#### Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. You learn your spells through mediation and prayer to the powerful forces that guide your actions. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

*Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier*

*Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier*

### Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Religion skill if you don’t already have it.

### Divine Symbol

Starting at 3rd level, you can use an action to create a symbol of your deity that hovers within 5 feet of you. The symbol is a Tiny object that is visible but invulnerable and intangible, and it lasts for 1 minute, until you die, or until you dismiss it (no action required). While this symbol is active, you gain the following benefits:

* Your Divine Symbol functions as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.
* As a bonus action, you can turn the symbol into thieves’ tools, which you can use to pick locks, disarm traps, or any other activities that would normally require such tools. While your Divine Symbol is functioning in this way, it loses all other properties listed here. You can change it from thieves’ tools back to its symbol form as a bonus action.
* The symbol sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action. When you extinguish the symbol’s light, you can also snuff out one candle, torch, or other nonmagical light source within 10 feet of you.
* When you create this symbol and as an action on each of your turns while the symbol is active, you can force the symbol to shoot divine energy at a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 radiant or necrotic damage, your choice. The symbol’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

### Sacred Stealth

Starting at 9th level, you can use your Sneak Attack on a creature hit by an attack with your Divine Symbol if the target of the attack is within 5 feet of an ally of yours, that ally isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

### Touching the Soul

When you reach 13th level, you can use your Divine Symbol to deliver your cleric spells that have a range of touch. Choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you as the target of the spell. You can’t use your Sacred Stealth feature on a spell delivered in this way. After you cast the spell, your Divine Symbol ends.

In addition, when you cast a spell that deals radiant or necrotic damage, you can switch it to do the other type of damage instead.

### Life Thief

At 17th level, you gain the ability to magically channel life force energy out of one creature and into another. When you deal radiant or necrotic damage with your Divine Symbol attack or a cleric spell or cantrip, choose a friendly creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature regains hit points equal to half the radiant or necrotic damage dealt. You can target yourself with this feature. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
