Evangelist
The Evangelist is a Variant of the Cleric Class for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition originally released in Dragon Magazine #311 pgs. 52-53, with a second version printed in Complete Divine pgs. 39-41 as a Prestige Class .
Evangelists are characterized as having a more intense personal relationship with their deity than most Clerics, often never having sought out the diety nor having formal training. Due to their natural link to their diety and capability for Spontaneous Casting, Evangelists are often compared to Sorcerers.
Notes
- The Evangelist is ranked Tier 2 on the updated Tier System.
- The Evangelist is the first cleric variant capable of Spontaneous Casting, though was followed by the Favored Soul and Mystic, respectively. The cleric also gained a variant system in Unearthed Arcana 3e with the capability of Spontaneous Casting.
