Goblin Tech Priest

A Goblin Tech Priest is a variant on the Cloistered Cleric from Unearthed Arcana

The Tech Priest spends more time than other clerics in study and prayer and less in martial training. He gives up some of the cleric's combat prowess in exchange for greater skill access and a wider range of spells devoted to knowledge and technology(and the protection of those).

Hit Die

The tech priest uses a d6 for his Hit Die (and has hit points at 1st level equal to 6 + Con modifier).

Base Attack Bonus
The tech priest's lack of martial training means that he uses the poor base attack bonus.
Class Skills

The tech priest's class skill list includes Disable Device, Open Lock, Speak Language, Knowledge ( machines), and Knowledge (engineering). The tech priest gains skill points per level equal to 6 + Int modifier (and has this number x4 at 1st level).

Class Features

The tech priest has all the standard cleric class features, except as noted below.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Tech priests are proficient with simple weapons and with light armor.

Lore (Ex)

Thanks to long hours of study, a tech priest has a wide range of stray knowledge. This ability is identical to the bard's bardic knowledge class feature, using the cloistered cleric's class level in place of the bard level.

Deity, Domains, and Domain Spells

All known tech priests worship Gidon the Steelhand, a minor goblin god. But they could worship other gods of technology as well.

In addition to any domains selected from his deity's list, a tech priest automatically gains the Technology domain as a bonus domain (even if the Technology domain is not normally available to clerics of that deity). He gains the Technology domain granted power and may select his bonus domain spell from the Technology domain or from one of his two regular domains.

Turning Undead

A tech priest does not turn undead, instead they get the Create Ironborn feat for free at 3rd level. They get this feat even if they do not meet the prerequisites
