New Class: Priestess of Covellia
As patroness of magic, Covellia’s priestesses have some arcane ability in addition to their divine powers. They lack the ability to turn undead, and are not as proficient in combat as clerics, but they cast spells as a mage of 1/3 their level, and can use both magic items usable by either clerics or mages.
HD: 1d6, +1 hp per level after 9th
Attack Throw: 10, +2 every six levels
Save: as Cleric
Weapon: club, dagger, bola, and quarterstaff. The priestess of Covellia may use the two-handed weapon fighting style.
Proficiencies: I don’t know yet.
Upon reaching 9th level, the priestess of Covellia may build a fortified church, at half-cost. Upon completion she gains 5d6 x 10 0th level followers and 1d6 1st-3rd level cleric followers.

The class was constructed with:
HD: 1
Fighting: 0
Divine: 2
Arcane: 1
I traded in turn undead for the ability to use mage items.
I’m interested in feedback; my main worry is that they’re pretty useless at first level. I assume that with Arcane 1, they don’t get arcane spells until third level?
