Miracles and Blessings of the Resplendent Emperor

      While many of the miracles and blessings are held in common by the common clergy and members of the holy orders, there are subtle differences between what they do and do not have access to. Additionally, there are differences between what they can do with those blessings and miracles as compared to the general definitions given for the generic professions. Below are screenshots of the spreadsheets I created regarding such differences.
 



 
     As can be seen in the spreadsheets, the gold cells indicate blessings and miracles which vary from their base version. There are also powers which are drawn from other professions, namely the gravedigger profession in the Dragonburn Profession Collection. The descriptions and rationale for differences in the powers are shown below, as well as any pre-requisites for new powers not listed in the following table. (EDIT: Yes, I'm being lazy and didn't want to wrestle with Affinity Photo in revising the table below.)

Templars (General)

    Templars are knights and fighters who have sworn to protect the faithful and the Church. As such, they are not paladins as defined in D&D or the Dragonbane profession in the Dragonburn Profession Collection. Any clerics and priests among the ranks of the Templars are from the common clergy or one of the other holy orders as necessary.

Hospitalers (General)

    Knights and fighters who take the oaths of the Hospitalers do not receive miraculous powers or blessings.
