The Valkyrie - a CR 7 flying melee menace celestial following divine justice: smiting and slicing your players to shreds
Hi y'all! Sorry about the delay!This week I have a fairly typical slash, slash, and even more slash monster! Although I do love me some fun little mechanics here and there with monsters especially, sometimes just getting wailed on as a player is really scary, and the valkyrie was designed to rea...
Champions of the Prophet
Hello there!With the Judicator, that is all of the subclasses for Virgil's Prayerbook to the Horrifying Divine, so here are all of them - the Champions of the Prophet - bound together into one pdf for your viewing pleasure! Many of these are designed to be fanatics, those who are fully immersed ...
A Warlock Otherworldly Patron: The Judicator. Suffuse yourself with divine justice and strike down the sinners with radiant might
Hello there!This week I have a fun, a little more experimental and crunchy Warlock subclass for you all, the Judicator! I really liked the idea of having a divine spear that you toss at enemies, and I thought “what if Eldritch Blast invocations could apply to weapons?” and so the Judicator was b...
Relics of the Divine - 28 eldritch religious horror magic items: the flesh and bone of the apostles and the Prophet to sanctify the material plane and bring about It’s will
Hello there!This week I have for you all something that was very exciting to write and something that I had a ton of fun with, the Relics of the Divine! When reading up on relics and reliquaries in catholicism and monotheistic religions, I was deeply inspired and surprised by just how eldritch they ...
Next Project Teaser!
I'm getting close to finishing Virgil's (still have a bunch of revision to do ), but I wanted to key you all in on a little teaser of my next project! Started to get more versed in InDesign and layout stuff, and I'm pretty excited for how this turned out!
Living Relic Sorcerer - A Sorcerer subclass that has a fraction of the Prophet imbued in their blood, allowing It’s will to take over and guide those who are lost
Hello there!This week I have for you all the Living Relic Sorcerer! When I first read up about Relics and Reliquaries in Catholicism and other monotheistic religions, I was deeply inspired by how eldritch the whole idea is! Then I thought, what if a Sorcerer is a living relic? A person who either ha...
The Messenger - A CR 3 ‘True Angel’ Celestial sent by divinity to deliver the the living and piercing word of God to mortals
Hello there!This week I have a simple little celestial for you, the Messenger! As opposed to the Voz, this ‘true angel’ does not emulate the true words and utterings of divinity, but instead only delivers the message and general intent of the divine! Of course, since I’m pulling on religious e...
The Faith Domain - A Cleric subclass that pledges their faith to the one true divinity, with hearts so pure of It’s will that they can call upon emissaries of the heavens to strike down the sinful and protect the redeemed
Hello there!This week I have a strange subclass for you, the Faith domain. This cleric was fun to make because it implies that all other clerics, where faith is assumed to be a part of just being a cleric, are less real clerics and are not “true” clerics. Really leaning into the eldritch religio...
The Harbinger and the Reshaper - A CR 2 and a CR 6 celestial: manifestations of divine presence given birth and an ancient angel that simply seeks to reconfigure the world to better match It’s will
Hello there!This week I have for y’all two different ‘true angel’ celestials! The harbinger’s idea first came about with the phenomenon of “feeling something in the air,” whether that is tension, or electricity, or some kind of socioemotional phenomenon, and I thought ‘what if divinity...
Way of the Empty Vessel - An ascetic monk subclass that deprives one of everything, so they might be easier filled with the glory of God
Hello there!This week I have for y’all a Monk subclass, Way of the Empty Vessel! I find the idea of fasting and asceticism fascinating if I’m being honest, and I took that idea and added it with some eldritch spice. This subclass is all about emptying oneself of all desires and mortal things, pr...
The Voz - A CR 5 ‘True’ Angel that relays the divine voice of God. Rend thy clothes and cast thyself before the Lord and weep before the words of It’s divine truth
Hello there!This week I have for y’all another ‘true angel,’ the Voz! If you’re like me, you’ve heard a lot about how angels are actually terrifying beings, and I wanted to extend this a little bit and really lean into the incomprehensibility of eldritch horror and bring it to religious th...
The Prophet - A religious eldritch horror themed warlock patron - Let the Prophet’s Will impregnate your being so you may spread Its will amongst all who lie in darkness
Hi y'all!This week I have for y’all a support Warlock based all around Light and Blindness! Specifically, blinding yourself and your allies to better see the shape and image of the Prophet, and to extend Its light to empower and inspire your allies!
Blind Priest Update!
Hi y'all! Just letting you know that I made some revisions to the Blind Priest based on some feedback! I edited the typo on Aura of Prostration and changed it so it does more damage, doesn't knock prone, and does constant damage until someone IS prone, making the fun of the fight figuring ou...
The Blind Priest - A CR 3 religious horror themed ‘True’ Angel sent to test the faithful! Bow down in worship, kneel before Its will, our maker and maker of all things
Hello there!This week I have for y’all a CR 3 Celestial to populate your games! This is one of the many True Angels that I’ve begun developing for this compendium, and I designed it as an angel that forces those around it to kneel in prayer, as its whole purpose is to simply find those who are n...
Gifts of Divinity - 26 New Religious Horror Themed Spells from Cantrips to Ninth Level Spells! Let light shine from thine heart into the souls and skulls of those who have yet to see Its glory!
Hello there!This week I have for y’all 26 new spells that are all themed around religious horror! I’ve always thought (growing up religious) that christianity and catholicism was surprisingly metal and eldritch with much of its imagery, and so I decided to take that idea and turn it into religio...

This week I have for y’all 9 Esoteric Techniques! Think of these like permanent maneuvers that a character learns and uses at their disposal!
