Sharess (originally called Bast) is the Mulhorandi goddess of beauty, pleasure and cats. Her portfolio had enough unique appeal that she crossed over into the Faerunian pantheon of the Forgotten Realms.

Considered to be utterly self interested and fickle, it is often forgotten that she is actually a deity of protection and battle, and is the nemesis of the snake deity Set.

History

Worshippers

Celebrant of Sharess

Glorious Servitor (of Bast)

Sharess's other prestige class from Lost Empires of Faerun turns your character into a pseudo-lycanthrope as befits a member of a beast-cult. It requires Improved Turning and 2nd Level Divine casting to qualify for this class, but has nothing to do with those features, so it's a bit of an odd ball class that takes your cleric career into a dead end.

Instead, the Glorious Servitor prestige class let's you turn into a Leopard at level 1, then gives you increasing buffs as you progress, such as +6 AC and +3 STR while in animal form, and also giving Spell Resistance, Poison Immunity and eventual transformation into an Outsider. Despite the bizarre entry requirements, This class at least has an attempt to theme, but competes against a Druid for the shapeshifting party role. But is stuck with one form and no spell progression.
