Beginning at 1st level a cleric's bonus language options include Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal (the languages of good, chaotic evil, and lawful evil outsiders, respectively). These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of her race. The Cleric's Intelligence score must be high enough to qualify for bonus languages in order to utilize this class ability. | Beginning at 1st level a cleric's bonus language options include Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal (the languages of good, chaotic evil, and lawful evil outsiders, respectively).

A cleric who is neither good nor evil and whose deity is neither good nor evil can convert spells to either cure spells or inflict spells (player's choice). Once the player makes this choice, it cannot be reversed. This choice does not affect the Cleric's Channel Divinity ability. | A cleric who is neither good nor evil and whose deity is neither good nor evil can convert spells to either cure spells or inflict spells (player's choice).

Beginning at 2nd level, when adjacent to an injured ally, Clerics add their WIS modifier to their attack and damage rolls for melee attacks. "Injured" means "has taken damage from an enemy". For clarity, normal damage, subdual damage, negative levels, or ability damage all count for this ability to function. | Beginning at 2nd level, when adjacent to an injured ally, Clerics add their WIS modifier to their attack and damage rolls for melee attacks.

: '''Special:''' If the cleric casts any healing spells while Castigate is in effect, the Cleric may also [[Types_of_Movement#Forced_Movement|slide]] the target ally or allies, if willing, up to 5 feet per die of healing granted. Healing spells or abilities which do not grant one or more dice of healing (e.g. heal a fixed amount, etc.) do not benefit from this effect. Slides can be in any direction and do not provoke attacks of opportunity, as with any forced movement. This bonus effect is only triggered by memorized or spontaneously cast spells from a cleric who is running the Castigate channel ability, and is not triggered by potions or healing from any source other than the cleric. Note that this slide does not require the target ally to be injured to work! | : '''Special:''' If the cleric casts any healing spells while Castigate is in effect, the Cleric may also [[Types_of_Movement#Forced_Movement|slide]] the target ally or allies, if willing, up to 5 feet per die of healing granted.

Beginning at 4th level, the Cleric may pray over his weapon, and instead of dealing bonus damage equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any), he gains double the enhancement bonus (round down). This applies to damage rolls only. Attack rolls are still only increased by the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any). A Hallowed weapon also counts as brandishing the Cleric's holy symbol. Making a weapon hallowed requires 15 minutes and lasts until midnight. For example, a +2 hallowed mace grants a +2 bonus to hit, +4 to damage, and may be used in place of the Cleric's symbol, when performing a Channel Divinity, casting spells requiring a holy symbol focus item, etc. | Beginning at 4th level, the Cleric may pray over his weapon, and instead of dealing bonus damage equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus (if any), he gains double the enhancement bonus (round down).

At any level, a cleric who grossly violates the code of conduct required by her god loses all spells and class features, except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons. She cannot thereafter gain levels as a cleric of that god until she atones for her deeds (see the atonement spell description). | At any level, a cleric who grossly violates the code of conduct required by her god loses all spells and class features, except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons.
