Zeal

The Templar manifests their powers through a resource called Zeal. Starting at 1st level the Templar gains 2 Zeal points that they can expend on powers. They gain a variety of base powers they can spend zeal on described later in the class. They also gain additional Zeal points as described on the Class Table. The Templar regains their Zeal at the start of every long rest.

Faith

Starting at 1st level, choose a Faith or an Outsider type to dedicate to. A Templar usually dedicates themselves to a specific type of patron. It is rare to see a Templar devote himself to more than one creed or type of outsider. Choose from one of the following types to devote your faith to: Celestial, Devil, Demon, Fallen Celestial, Fey, or Undead. This determines many abilities detailed later, but some basic information about each is detailed below.

• Faith Outsider - Damage Type
• Celestial - Radiant
• Devil - Cold
• Demon - Fire
• Fallen Celestial - Necrotic
• Fey - Psychic
• Undead - Necrotic

Acts of Faith

Beginning at 1st level, the Templar gains access to Acts of Faith. These are (usually) mundane techniques that they channel their zeal into or perhaps very minor boons granted to them by their patron(s). Starting at first level, choose two acts of faith that you gain. Consult the Templar table to see when you gain another Act of Faith to choose from. Make sure that all prerequisites are met to choose them. You may change out a single Act of Faith for another one that you meet the requirements for each time you level up. However, if the Act of Faith requires a specific level minimum to be met, you can only exchange one gained at the appropriate level for the new one. i.e. you cannot trade out a 1st level Act of Faith for an Act of Faith whose minimum is level 11

Divine Calling
