Learn about the Demonbane Priest in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Understand its proficiencies, spellcasting, and unique class features to dominate demons.

The Demonbane Priest is a specialized class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, designed specifically for battling demons. While they excel in this niche, they come with certain limitations.

Here's a breakdown of what makes them unique:

• They are proficient with heavy armor, giving them good survivability.
• They can only select a single domain, limiting their spell and ability options compared to other divine casters.
• They suffer from Diminished Spellcasting, meaning they cast fewer spells per day than a standard cleric.

Here's how their level progression looks:

¹ Animal domain only

² Earth, Fire, Healing, Luck, Nobility, Plant and Water domains

³ All other domains.

Demonbane Proficiencies

You're well-equipped to handle yourself in a fight, being proficient with simple weapons, light, medium, and heavy armor, as well as shields. This means you can wear some of the best defensive gear in the game without penalty.

Demonic Knowledge

This class feature grants you a bonus equal to half your class level on Knowledge (Arcana) checks. This is incredibly useful for identifying demons, understanding their weaknesses, and recalling lore related to the Abyss.

Demonbane Priest Bonus Feats

At 4th and 8th levels, you get to pick a special bonus feat. You can choose either a teamwork feat, which can be great if you have allies who can benefit from them, or (Greater) Spell Penetration, which is crucial for ensuring your spells actually hit those tough demonic spellcasters.
