Advancement table
Dark Apostates gain additional spell points when they increase level or by having high wisdom, check the tables here. Note that the bonus spell slot granted for spontaneous casting is included in the following table: one spell slot of each level is always reserved for the healing spell of that level (except for the L9 slots).


 * Includes Base SP from Spell point table plus 80 SP from Magical Training free feat.

Level 1

 * Turn Undead (active and passive): This feat allows the character to halt, or at higher levels destroy, undead creatures. The character can do this (3 + their charisma modifier) times per day. While turning undead is an active skill, this feat is passive as it adds to the total amount of turns per day. While enhancements from both Dark Apostate and Paladin stack, as far as number and power of turns, the base number of turns do not stack with each other.


 * Religious Lore (passive): This feat grants represents your knowledge of religion. This feat is received once for every Dark Apostate level.

Level 2
Dark Apostate must select one domain at Dark Apostate level 2. They gain additional feats from that domain at levels 5, 9, and 14.

Spells

 * A Dark Apostate casts divine spells, which are drawn from the cleric spell list.
 * A Dark Apostate must choose and prepare his spells in advance (see below).
 * A Dark Apostate automatically prepare Inflict spells at their normal levels in addition to spells prepared normally. This does not take up a spell slot.
 * To prepare or cast a spell, a Dark Apostate must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Dark Apostate's spell is 10 + the spell level + the Dark Apostate's Wisdom modifier.
 * Like other spellcasters, a Dark Apostate can prepare only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day.
 * His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Cleric.
 * The efficiency of the different healing spells is discussed at Healing Spells.
