Bishop's Faith [CARD] (Patreon)
Content
Rod, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
A rod of authority modeled after the mitre of a religious advisor. This rod functions as both an arcane focus and a holy symbol. You gain +1 bonus to spell attack rolls made while using it. This rod has 3 charges and regains all charges after a long rest. If you have proficiency with Dragonchess, this weapon regains all charges after a short or long rest.
Skewer. You can use your action to spend a charge and summon a beam of light 5 ft. wide and 60 ft. long originating from you. Each creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw equal to your spell save DC. If more than one creature is in the area, you can forgo this effect on one of the creatures to have another creature make their saving throw with disadvantage. On a failed save the creature takes 3d8 radiant damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a successful save the creature takes half as much damage and is not stunned.
Fianchetto. Mastery of distance is a valuable skill in combat. When you make a ranged spell attack against a creature, if the target is at a distance greater than half the maximum range of the spell, your attack roll is made with advantage.
Every king has their advisors, and a bishop fulfills its role quite elegantly in that regard. With pinpoint precision, these members of the clergy wage long-distance warfare against their enemies. Any foe that fails to recognize the threat a bishop presents is sure to regret their moves sooner rather than later as it weaves through the gaps in their defenses.
