You draw down your gods’ aura, draping that magical essence around the chosen individual.

The selected individual receives a +2 sacred bonus to AC, a +4 sacred bonus on Intimidate checks, and a +2 sacred bonus on saving throws against spells. The saving throw bonus rises to +4 against spells cast by clerics of rival deities.

The effects of patronage are visible as a faint aura suggestive of your deity’s image; patronage granted by Artemis manifests as a silvery radiance with a faint crescent moon upon the brow, while the patronage of Zeus crackles like distant lightning.
