Saving Throw
DEX Quick (half damage on successful save)
Effect
You call forth flames of divine judgment that burn the guilty while sparing the innocent. All creatures in the area take 3d6 fire damage. Creatures that have committed acts of murder, betrayal, or grave sacrilege (murder in cold blood, betrayal of sworn oaths, desecration of sacred sites) take double damage, and if they fail the Quick save they are also wracked with guilt, suffering a -2 penalty to all rolls for 1 hour.
Scaling
At 6th level, the damage increases to 4d6 fire damage. At 9th level, you can choose to make the flames deal radiant damage instead of fire damage.
Special Notes
The DN determines what acts qualify as "grave" enough to trigger the additional effects. The flames appear golden and burn with unnatural intensity.
