Priest-It is done, whatever it is. It'll do. Holy shit that was a pain to finish!
Obviously this is meant to be an overlay/homebrew for the Cleric more or less. As in all cases it isn't a perfect translation but it should, ideally be able to cross over rather easily, with only minimal to mild effort to cross over in either direction, be it homebrew mess or flat PF 2e rules.
The most holy and sanctified of sorts, priests and preachers of all the Ascended do not merely just practice their skills in the churches of Valerick. Traveling missionaries, holy advisors and confidantes, many are the roles a priest may end up taking. A supportive element of a military unit, providing spiritual guidance and divine guidance. A priest's duties may see them very well take up the road of an Exemplari, should they believe that is the intended purpose that their diety has for them, that is the path they are meant to walk. Each faith's priests are very notably different, but in general they are well learned, strong of spirit, and have a strong caretaking sense, seeing themselves as a sheperd or something very similar. Regardless of which cloth a priest is from there will be truth to all these statements of some kind. They are all generally well schooled in matters of history and spiritualism/religion, as one might expect, and that knowledge can also make them a most worthwhile travel companion.

This is a pool of their just raw belief manifesting as pure energy they can wield to activate a variety of unique abilities and other such things offered via feats. This pool grows as they level up, but in addition to the amount listed on the table, they add their Charisma or Wisdom (whichever they picked) Modifier to that number and that is the size of their Faith Pool.
Diety: At first level, every priest, just as every Templar, must pick their diety, their faith. This dictates their tenets, the beliefs they must follow to keep their powers, as well as will dictate many of the feats from this homebrew that would be available to them (remember cleric feats are meant to be available as well, even if you need to do a bit of crossover altering one direction of the other) as well as deciding which prayer list you will be picking from, and will even grant you skills, and in some cases limited weapon and armor proficiencies.

Priests are unique besides Templars, in that they can select Feats with the Holy Text Trait (basically meta-magick feats for prayers) that they would otherwise meet the qualifications for as well with these feat slots, including any from their Profession list (so for base Pathfinder 2e this includes Cleric and Paladin).
Physical Returns: At 3rd level a Priest becomes Trained in Power Saves.
Heightened Awareness: At 4th level a Priest becomes an Expert in Perception
Attribute Growths: At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter you gain 4 attribute points to spend on any of your attributes you wish.

These attribute points can send your scores above 18, though every point you wish to increase an attribute above 18 costs 2 attribute points, not 1.

If they do so, they spend up to half their hit dice (minimum 1), rolling them and adding their Charisma or Wisdom Modifier as appropriate. They recover that many Faith Points.

Cost: 2 Faith, Reaction, must be on a failed Saving Throw
By spending the appropriate amount of Faith, when yourself or any creature within 30 feet of you fails a Saving Throw, acting as Tomain's voice and hand, you offer them an out. Double or Nothing. They may reattempt the Saving Throw, however it is merely a pass or fail roll, except it is Critical Success or Critical Failure.

Traits: Faith, Priest, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
Cost: 2 Faith, Reaction
A Priest with this feat gains a unique reaction they can use against others whom pray, whom engage in the art of Calling. This includes Void Shamans, whom count as both casting and Calling by nature of the strangeness of their magicks. You simply spend the appropriate Faith and roll a Prayer roll. If you beat their Prayer roll by 10 or more you suppress their prayer and inflict them with Silence (1). If you merely beat them but by less than ten you simply surpress their Prayer. If they beat you by less than 10, their calling is weakened, reduced by 1 Tier from what they were trying to Call upon. Only if they beat you by 10 or more, so critically, do they get their calling as they were attempting it.

Access: Order Librarium Priest
Cost: 2 Faith + 1/extra set of armor or shield you wish effect
During daily preparations you may spend the appropriate Faith imbuing armor and shields of yours and your companions with great gifts. The affected equipment must be non magickal equipment. These items become +1 lesser enchanted objects (increasing the Dex Cap if any by 1 and increasing the AC bonus by 1 as well, and reducing any check/skill penalties by 1). On top of this, you imbue a Tier I enchantment into the objects. It is the same enchantment for them all, unless you are willing to commit another point of Faith for each object you wish to put a different enchantment upon.
Traits: Abjudicator Priest, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Abjudicator Priest
Cost: 1 Faith, 1 Action
An Abjudicator with this Feat can choose as an Action to focus in on one target from their Sniff out the Guilty reading and focus on them. Though it is not a prayer (spell) this does act as a Maintained effect, thereby taking up the Concetration slot. Over the next thirty seconds (three rounds) the Abjudicator examines the individual, noting their speech, noting their behaviors, noting how they carry themselves. Be it direct questioning or not there is a lot that can be inferred, if done well. At the end of the thirty seconds (three rounds) an Investigate or Intuition (Priest's choice) check should be rolled in secret against the target's profession (class) DC. If critically failed, then the information/assumptions the priest is making should be well off the mark, out to lunch, but within the realm of the context clues of course. Should the secret check merely fail, the Abjudicator isn't seeing, hearing or observing enough to make any strong notes off the individual, the ability is a wash. Should the secret check succeed, the priest should know for certain whether or not the target is in fact guilty of anything actually requiring a law enforcement type interaction, they should be able to read a rough severity of the situation from behavior, speech, body language, etc. Should they critically succeed, the Abjudicator should at least have it narrowed down to two closely related crime umbrellas (Murder or Assault, that sort of deal.) This could be because of blood on the clothes, signs of a fight, or various body language behaviors, or general demeanor behaviors. So long as this ability was a Success or Critical Success, for the next hour the Abjudicator has the benefit of the Fortune Trait on any social skill check they roll against the target (that is roll twice and take the best).

Access: Cartographer of Fate Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 10 minutes during Daily Preparations
Cartographers of Fate are well known for their sharp mind and memory for geography, seeming to be obsessed with maps and with keeping track of their surroundings. During Daily preparations a Cartographer of Fate may spend the necessary faith and time to set themselves up for this ability, utilizing this feat. They center their minds, hone their focus, tap into that well of divinity within them, that great gift from Feyheart. For the duration of their day, they have a flawless mental map. This doesn't provide them aid in finding where to go when exploring, they are unaware of their surroundings. What it does do however is ensure they are incapable of getting lost and turned around and going in circles. They will always notice immediately if they return somewhere they've already been and will immediately be able to orient themselves in such a location. It also means they can always backtrack very easily if necessary.
Traits: Dockmaster Priest, Movement

A Dockmaster Priest with this feat treats their movement speed as a Swim Speed as well.
Traits: Storm-Speaker Priest, Reaction, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Storm-Speaker Priest
A Storm-Speaker can seem as if protected by the very elements of Tempest itself, guarded by Sir Kartheart. They gain a special reaction they can utilize when attacked or threatened by any sort of damaging effect. The source of that damage becomes the target of a spell attack roll so long as they are within 60 feet of the priest this can be activated. Spending the necessary faith, the priest rolls the spell attack. If it hits, this attack deals 1d10 Lightning damage and 1d10 Thunder damage as a literal bolt of lightning just manifests violently, hammering into the assailant's body.
Traits: Leaf-Caller Priest, Divine, Faith, Medical

Access: Leaf-Caller Priest
Cost: 2 Faith, 1 Action
With this feat a Leaf-Caller can touch a target (themself included) and imbue them with a bit of their own life essence, a Biorhythmic pulse if you will. This provides the target creature the benefit of Fast Healing (X) where X= Priest Level+Charisma or Wisdom Modifier for 1 minute (6 rounds). If you attempt to grant another target this ability, the first instance of it ends abruptly.

Traits: Sun, Fire, Radiant, Sun-Caller Priest
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Sun-Caller Priest
Cost: 2 faith, Reaction (responding to taking damage or being attacked from a source you can see within 60 feet)
A Sun-Caller may spend the required faith and allow this reaction to trigger. They make a Calling (Spell) attack roll against the offending target/creature, though they must choose which it shall be, the Burning, or the Radiance. If the attack hits, it deals 2d8+(Charisma or Wisdom Attribute Modifier) of the appropriate elemental damage. Fire for Burning, Radiant for Radiance. If it scores a critical hit, the creature is afflicted with Ablaze (X) where X is equal to your Priest level for Burning. For Radiance, the creature suffers Blind (1) if its a critical hit. In both case they also take double damage obviously. If the attack misses, nothing really happens. If its a critical miss, the priest rolls Ire of the Gods, subtracting 75 from the d100 roll. If its less than 001, then nothing happens, it would seem Vosana did not take notice of the tactical blunder.
Traits: Priest, Divine, Calling
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
A Priest whom takes this feat selects a Prayer from their options that make up their Prayer list at Tier I with a Calling DC equal to or less than 20. They may call upon this Prayer 1/day without rolling a Prayer skill roll, though naturally this also means you cannot critically succeed, but nor can you suffer a failure or critical failure.

Cost: 2 Faith
Tapping into your natural pool of Divinity as an activity during a Regroup you allow the group to recover from a variety of aliments more rapidly than they should by exerting this well of power you hold. They may recover from/reduce their Wounded, Exhausted or Doomed conditions by (1).

As part of your daily preparations, taking 10 minutes of ritual and prayer, tinkering with and working with the weapon(s) you grant and gift them the benefit of enchantment. For the rest of the day the weapon(s) in question are lesser magick weapons, becoming +1 weapons (increasing their damage and attack rolls by 1) as well as imbuing them with a Tier I enchantment of your choice. If affecting more than 1 weapon, you enchant them all with the same singular enchantment, however you may spend 1 extra faith per weapon to allow you to vary the enchantment upon them instead of them all being the same Tier I enchantment. This can only affect weapons that are non-magickal to begin with.
Traits: Abjudicator Priest, Faith, Divine, Attack, Auditory, Compulsion
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Abjudicator Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 2 Actions
Utilizing the knowledge from Sniff out the Guilty, instead of trying to Read the Guilt, perhaps you simply try to let the individual's conscience betray them. This is an attack, however you attack using Intimidate, Persuade/Bribery or Deception, depending if you want to attempt to scare them, make a deal with them, or trick them. Whatever it is you say isn't irrelevant, however it doesn't need to be detailed, because what is more important is the weight of faith behind your words. Should your skill roll overcome their DC (like Class DC, except ignoring their favored stat and replacing it with Charisma) then the attack is successful. If you critically succeed, they take double damage and based on what it is your after (a confession, turning over an associate, etc) they begin giving you everything, unable to bear the weight of guilt, spilling their guts. Should you merely normal succeed, they take 3d6+Charisma Modifier Psychic damage and will in a limited capacity begin to co-operate, though it will still require more negotiation and further dialogue. If the creature was hostile and is sapient, at this point in either case they stop resisting. If you fail, they still take half damage and though they will stop resisting they won't disarm themselves. They will consent to the correctness of the idea they are carrying guilt/information/or are guilty of some wrongdoing, but will be very cagey with details, unwilling to so easily give up everything without a lot more negotiation. Should you critically fail, they take no damage and seem unaffected as if they have no conscience to speak of.

Cost: 2 Faith
A Cartographer of Fate is very well traveled and oft due to the religion they follow they have connections upon connections. There is not a settlement in the land that doesn't have some small inn or bunkhouse tucked away somewhere with direct religious ties to Feyheart's faithful, its just a question of remembering them. Thankfully Feyheart provides. For the appropriate amount of Faith listed whenever a Cartographer of Fate enters a settlement they can take a minute, thinking, tapping into that divine well, and be shown directions and the name of the establishment that would provide for that need within the settlement in question. Furthermore, so long as they arrive within 28 hours (1 day) of entering the settlement, they can insure that both themselves and their traveling companions (up to 4 others) are provided for without need of a tithe or offering.

So long as a Dockmaster has 1 Faith in their Faith Pool, their memory for ocean currents and their complex interactions and directional behaviors is like a steel trap. It is flawless and they are pretty much incapable of getting truly lost at sea. They may not always know exact location because of lack of landmarks, but at any given time they merely need to spend a minute of focus, falling into the well of faith, feeling the winds, the water below the ship/boat's deck, letting the knowledge of the High Captain flood their mind like a tsunami. After which they will know what sea lane, that is major current they are within and this will help inform them of a rough geographical location. Based on the directionality of the current, and the time of year from that information they will be able to provide a rough direction and distance estimate (accurate to within 30 miles) to the nearest land.

Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cardshark Priest with Up the Ante Feat.
Cost: 5 Faith +2/Extra target beyond yourself and the first other person, 1 Activity
A Cardshark with this feat, during daily preparations, or during a Regroup as one of their activities, may choose to indulge this ability. Spending 15 minutes, you imbue the Faith, that divine pool you tap into, amongst yourself and your chosen companion(s). You insure some sort of shared metaphysical or meta-mental connection between each other that so long as you remain close enough to each other you will all benefit from. So long as you are all within 30 feet of each other you garner the benefits. If someone ends up 30 feet away from you, the epicenter of this effect, that merely means they do not benefit and you all cannot benefit from them. Stacking the deck refers to the benefit. When using this ability choose physical or mental. Whenever those under this effect must roll a saving throw that falls into the appropriate category (Power, Reflex, Fortitude for Physical. Logic, Will, and Ego for Mental), they roll using the highest modifier among all those so connected instead of their own.
Traits: Sun-Caller Priest, Faith, Movement, Displacement
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Sun-Caller Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 1 Action
This ability can target anyone within 30 feet of you, friend or foe. They can resist this with an Ego Save, or they may let it happen. If they choose to resist and critically fail, along with being repositioned they suffer 2d6 Radiant damage and are Confused (1). If they fail, they are merely Confused (1). If they succeed they are still displaced but suffer no ill consequences. If they critically succeed, you take 2d6 force damage and they are not repositioned. This ability teleports the target in a flash of sunfire like radiance, they seem to dissolve into raw luminesence and reappear somewhere within 30 feet of where they were. You cannot displace them into an obvious lethal environmental hazard (like over an opening of a volcano, or past the edge of a cliff overlooking a few hundred foot drop.), nor can you place them partway into the ground or otherwise inbetween objects in that sense (like half in and half out of a wall or tree, etc etc). However you can simply displace them 30 feet up if you so wished, or displace them beside a creature or entity hostile to them, or right beside an environmental hazard such as a building on fire, the edge of a cliff, that sort of thing.

Access: Priest who cannot have the War Priest Feat.
A priest with this feat is very used to speaking to large congregations, and is skilled at maintaining their voice and speaking with a boisterous volume that fills any space. They increase the range of all Faith abilities with the Divine trait, as well as all Prayers, by 1/2 their range. This means touch effects may be utilized at 15 feet.

Traits: Animal, Moon-Caller Priest, Divine, Faith, Attack, Auditory
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Moon-Caller Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 2 Actions
A Moon-Caller with this feat is actually not garnering a direct benefit from this feat, however it does allow their hound companion the use of their Faith Pool for a special ability the hound gets access too. Letting out a keening howl not unlike a wolf, the hound's deep howl sends shivers down the spine of any and all whom hear it. Those you deem hostile within 60 feet of the hound need to make a Will Save against your Profession (Class) DC. Should they critically fail they become Stunned (1), and Frightened (2) of both the hound AND you, as well as taking double damage. Should they normal fail they take 2d8+Hound's Strength Modifier Psychic damage and are Frightened (2) of both the hound AND you. Should they succeed they take half damage and are still Frightened (1) of both the hound AND you. If they critically succeed they take no damage but are Frightened (1) of the hound.

Access: Order Librarium Priest with Crafter's Blessing of Armor
Cost: 3 Faith +1/extra armor set or shield you wish to affect.
This is an evolution of Crafter's Blessing of Armor. You now turn them into +2 objects with a Tier II (or two Tier I) Enchantment(s) of your choice. Similarly they will all recieve the same enchantment(s) unless you are willing to spend 1 extra Faith per item after the first one to give them different enchantment(s). The armors and shields you affect must be non-magickal.
Traits: Uncommon, Adjudicator Priest, Faith, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Adjudicator Priest with Read the Guilt Feat
Cost: 3 Faith, Free Action
Tapping into your divine pool, you manifest your will upon the conversation you are having, as you formally both swear to tell the truth, nothing but the whole truth, by the Divine Judge's will, and you engage the target, the person you are conversing with, to do the same. They cannot resist this, they simply will be unable to continue to converse, suffering the Silence condition for the next hour, if they refuse to swear the oath. This does not prevent either of you from lying but what it does do is make it very difficult to hide, as every time you lie, you will take 1d10 Force damage from a sudden stabbing sensation deep in the center of your skull. Whenever either party tries to lie, they need to make a Fortitude Save against your Profession DC. If they critically fail, they don't even fully finish the lie coherently, taking double damage and screaming uncontrollably from the sudden pain. If they fail, they grit their teeth and finish the lie, but no intuition check is required to know they are lying, they cannot even roll Deception, its too obvious. If they succeed they take full damage still but can roll Deception to sell it, as they manage not to show the pain much at all, but they are under Misfortune (roll twice take the worse one). Only on a critical success can they lie so smoothly, whilst still taking half damage, that they do not show anything and may roll a Deception check as they normally would.

Traits: Dockmaster Priest, Faith, Activity, Ritual, Uncommon
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Dockmaster Priest
Cost: 5 Faith
Tapping into their Divinity as a special daily preparation activity, a priest with this feat can issue a targeted Writ of Privateering, basically a bounty, gifted out by the High Captain. This will come with a time limit, and lock the priest out of this ability until the writ is completed by the captain it was authorized to or until the Writ expires or is officially abandoned (the severance offering of five thousand gold made properly to have this done). The writ will come with a cargo manifest, with at least two items explicited marked to be offerings to the High Captain, not meant to be loot. (This could even include the ship itself, increasing the difficulty of the task, as one might expect), however it could be as many as 5 items (an amount of gold would be one item). These demands will never exceed more than 30% of the potential loot to be taken from the vessel in question (not counting the ship if its listed, that's a unique hedge case, its not common, only 1 in a 100 writs make such a demand). The writ will also come with a detailed armament report of the vessel, its last known crew compliment, noting any official magisters or priests or others of that ilk (but not Shamans or the like, generally, as such people hide what they are as best they can). Lastly it will come with a special compass like object, but the needle always points towards the vessel that is the target of the Writ. The timeframe for the Writ will vary, but is always fair. Aggressive, but reasonable, always accounting for distance of last known location, offering a few days extra to chase and attempt to find favorable conditions to engage. However the price for failing to complete a writ is steep indeed for a captain, for then they owe the church, and therefore the God of the Sea, a great debt. Captain Black Jeremiah does not take well to debtors.

The Abjudicator has a bonus to 1/2 their priest level to all rolls to interact with, fight against and defend themselves from any abilities of the accused should that be necessary, so long as they are in charge of passing out the judgement. The judgement will have a timeframe it is good for, ranging from 1-7 days depending on severity of the offenses, difficulty of carrying them out, and the severity of the offenses. The Divine Writ will continue to provide its bonuses past the deadline if you have them in custody and are transporting them to a noted location, if the writ was not for execution.

During Daily Prepartions, a Cartographer of Fate may roll a Craft (Cartography) check whilst spending the appropriate Faith, against their own Profession DC. Should they critically succeed, they manage through some deep forgotten memory, or divine inspiration, to sketch out what will turn out to be a shockingly accurate map, down to the distances of the scale, of the surrounding area in all directions based upon how much Faith they spent. If they succeed, it will still be really quite accurate, a couple major landmarks or biome transitions may be off by a mile or two, but nothing so major that the map is unusable by any means. Should they fail, the map is not really up to snuff but they know that and can behave accordingly or even simply choose not to use it. Should they critically fail they believe it is dead on accurate but it is woefully incorrect and wrong, but believably wrong, just everything is in the wrong place. Because of this obviously the check should be rolled as a secret check.

Faith Pool: Priests have a unique resource called Faith. This is a pool of their just raw belief manifesting as pure energy they can wield to activate a variety of unique abilities and other such things offered via feats.

Diety: At first level, every priest, just as every Templar, must pick their diety, their faith. This dictates their tenets, the beliefs they must follow to keep their powers, as well as will dictate many of the feats from this homebrew that would be available to them (remember cleric feats are meant to be available as well, even if you need to do a bit of crossover altering one direction of the other) as well as deciding which prayer list you will be picking from, and will even grant you skills, and in some cases limited weapon and armor proficiencies. The dieties/religious are listed below;

The priesthood of Talia, lady of the leaves, the goddess of nature, manna, magick, survival and the wylde.
Magicks of Faith: When learning their Prayers a priest of Talia selects from this list. They start play with the skill Prayer (Talia) Trained.
Armor: None
Weapons: Trained with Melee (Brawling), and Ranged (Sling) families.
Skills: They begin play with Nature, Arcana, Occult, Stealth and Survival trained.
Magick's Touch: Priests and Priestess of Talia start play with additional prayers in the form of Spell-forms. They select three spell-forms of Tier I from the Druidism list that have a Casting DC of less than 20. They add these to their prayers list, and roll their Prayer skill to cast them.
Tenets: The Balance is the holy code, the tenets of the faith of the Lady of the Leaves, and thus is the standard all Leaf-Callers are held to.
The Cardsharks
The divine order of the cloth of Varis Tomain, the god of luck, coin, and trade. These individuals are of a book-keeping type, and many of their powers and prayers center around exchange, currency, luck and trade.
Gambler's Prayers: When learning their Prayers, a Cardshark Priest picks from this list. They also become Trained in Prayer (Varis Tomain).
Armor: None
Weapons: They start Trained in Melee (Fencing), and one of Ranged (Explosives) or Ranged (Firearms) families.
Skills: These priests start trained in Society, Intuition, Bribery and Persuade or Intimidate.
Highly Skilled: Cardsharks start with no feat like power, however they gain 2 skill progression points to spend at first level.
Tenets: Diceman's Demands are the holy tenets and code that broadly governs the lives of the faithful of Varis Tomain and is the code to which a Cardshark is held.
Sun-Callers
The last of the divine orders of the cloth, the Sun-Callers, the followers of Vosana Falconhand, the goddess of war, tactics, and the sun.
Hymns Tactica: When learning their Prayers, a Sun-Caller Priest picks from this list. They also become Trained in Prayer (Vosana Falconhand).

Tenets: War-Leader's Guide are the holy tenets and code that broadly governs the lives of the faithful of Vosana Falconhand and is the code to which a Sun-Caller is held.
These are the nine Clergies that a priest chooses from, and from here we will cover the rest of their abilities and such per level, before getting to their feats.
Calling: At First level, a priest gains the Divine trait, and this is their 'spell-casting' so all spell-casting stuff for the Priest is tied to the Divine tradition. They are also subject to the rules of Divine Burnout (X) however a priest may always spend Faith as a single action, reducing their Divine Burnout (X) total equal to the faith spent.
Reflexive Reactions: 2nd level become Trained in Reflex Saves.
Priest Feats: At 2nd level and every even level thereafter you select a Priest feat of appropriate level. Alternatively you can always select a feat from lower level options if you wish.
Skill Feats: At 2nd level and every even level thereafter you select a skill Feat.
General Feats: At 3rd level and every four levels after you gain a General Feat either from the additional ones provided within Adventures in Valerick or the plethora available in the base Pathfinder 2e. Priests are unique besides Templars, in that they can select Feats with the Holy Text Trait (basically meta-magick feats for prayers) that they would otherwise meet the qualifications for as well with these feat slots, including any from their Profession list (so for base Pathfinder 2e this includes Cleric and Paladin).
Physical Returns: At 3rd level a Priest becomes Trained in Power Saves.
Heightened Awareness: At 4th level a Priest becomes an Expert in Perception
Attribute Growths: At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter you gain 4 attribute points to spend on any of your attributes you wish. Your Wisdom or Charisma (whichever you picked as your primary) Attribute also naturally increases by 1 on top of this and this growth ignores the tax rules on going above 18 in an attribute. These attribute points can send your scores above 18, though every point you wish to increase an attribute above 18 costs 2 attribute points, not 1.
Calling Expertise: At 5th level a Magister becomes Expert in their Class DC, Spell DCs and Spell Attacks. They also now Call at Tier II as their base.
Empowered Ego: At 6th level a Priest becomes Master in Ego Saves.
Unarmored Expertise: At 7th level a Priest becomes Expert in Unarmored Defense
Fitness is next to Godliness: At 7th level a Priest becomes Trained in Power Saves.
Focused Will: At 8th level a Priest becomes Master Proficiency in Will Saves.
Sharp Mind: At 9th level a Priest becomes Expert Proficiency with Logic Saves.
Preacher's Awareness: At 11th level a Magister becomes Master Proficiency with Perception.
Master Preacher: At 12th level a Priest becomes Master Proficiency with their Class DC, Spell DC and Spell Attack rolls. They also now Call at Tier III as their base.
Divine Ego: At 13th level a Magister becomes Legendary with Ego Saves.
Practiced Reflexes: At 15th level a Priest becomes Expert in Reflex Saves.
Divine Awareness: At 16th level a Priest becomes Legendary in Perception.
Divine Will: At 17th level a Priest becomes Legendary in Will Saves.
High Priest(ess): At 18th level a Priest becomes Legendary in Class DC, Spell DC, and Spell Attacks.
Preacher's Logic: At 19th level a Priest becomes Master in Logic Saves.
Priest Feats
This is far from a proper comprehensive list, even more so than for many other profession/class overlays and that is due in large part to the idea that this is meant to be an overlay type system. That is not to say that there are no homebrew options here of course, naturally their are, so let us review them;
Divine Guidance
Feat 2
Traits: Priest, Divine, Faith, Auditory
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
Cost: 1 Faith and Reaction
As a Reaction a Priest with this feat can aid an ally within 30 feet of them with a quick call out of a Blessing, tapping into their Faith to gift some of it to their companion.

A Priest with feat, during a Regroup, may take this activity. If they do so, they spend up to half their hit dice (minimum 1), rolling them and adding their Charisma or Wisdom Modifier as appropriate. They recover that many Faith Points. This cannot make them go over their maximum cap. This does limit them to only being able to take one recuperate activities during a Regroup of course meaning they may only spend half their hit dice to recover HP.
Share Senses

Traits: Priest, Animal, Moon-Caller, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Moon-Caller
A Moon-Caller who takes this feat may enter a meditative state and simply ride along with their hound companion, experiencing the world through them and their senses for up to an hour at one time. They may spend 2 points of Faith to increase this duration to 2 hours.

Feat 2
Traits: Unarmed, Storm-Speaker Priest, Faith, Divine, Attack
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Storm-Speaker Priest

Up the Ante
Feat 2
Traits: Cardshark Priest, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cardshark Priest
Cost: 2 Faith, Reaction, must be on a failed Saving Throw
By spending the appropriate amount of Faith, when yourself or any creature within 30 feet of you fails a Saving Throw, acting as Tomain's voice and hand, you offer them an out. Double or Nothing. They may reattempt the Saving Throw, however it is merely a pass or fail roll, except it is Critical Success or Critical Failure. A creature may choose to not accept these stakes, but if so they do not get to re-roll.
Sun-Blessed
Feat 2
Traits: Divine, Sun-Caller Priest, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Sun-Caller Priest
So long as a Sun-Caller Priest has 1 Faith in their Faith Pool, they have Resist (X), where X is 1/2 their Priest level (minimum 1) to both Fire and Radiant damage.
Counter-Prayer
Feat 4
Traits: Faith, Priest, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
Cost: 2 Faith, Reaction
A Priest with this feat gains a unique reaction they can use against others whom pray, whom engage in the art of Calling. This includes Void Shamans, whom count as both casting and Calling by nature of the strangeness of their magicks. You simply spend the appropriate Faith and roll a Prayer roll. If you beat their Prayer roll by 10 or more you suppress their prayer and inflict them with Silence (1). If you merely beat them but by less than ten you simply surpress their Prayer. If they beat you by less than 10, their calling is weakened, reduced by 1 Tier from what they were trying to Call upon. Only if they beat you by 10 or more, so critically, do they get their calling as they were attempting it.
Blessed Jaws
Feat 4
Traits: Moon-Caller Priest, Divine, Animal, Companion
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Moon-Caller Priest

Crafter's Blessing of Armor
Feat 4
Traits: Order Librarium Priest, Divine, Faith, Ritual
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Order Librarium Priest
Cost: 2 Faith + 1/extra set of armor or shield you wish effect
During daily preparations you may spend the appropriate Faith imbuing armor and shields of yours and your companions with great gifts. The affected equipment must be non magickal equipment. These items become +1 lesser enchanted objects (increasing the Dex Cap if any by 1 and increasing the AC bonus by 1 as well, and reducing any check/skill penalties by 1). On top of this, you imbue a Tier I enchantment into the objects. It is the same enchantment for them all, unless you are willing to commit another point of Faith for each object you wish to put a different enchantment upon.
Read the Guilt
Feat 4
Traits: Abjudicator Priest, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Abjudicator Priest
Cost: 1 Faith, 1 Action
An Abjudicator with this Feat can choose as an Action to focus in on one target from their Sniff out the Guilty reading and focus on them. Though it is not a prayer (spell) this does act as a Maintained effect, thereby taking up the Concetration slot. Over the next thirty seconds (three rounds) the Abjudicator examines the individual, noting their speech, noting their behaviors, noting how they carry themselves. Be it direct questioning or not there is a lot that can be inferred, if done well. At the end of the thirty seconds (three rounds) an Investigate or Intuition (Priest's choice) check should be rolled in secret against the target's profession (class) DC. If critically failed, then the information/assumptions the priest is making should be well off the mark, out to lunch, but within the realm of the context clues of course. Should the secret check merely fail, the Abjudicator isn't seeing, hearing or observing enough to make any strong notes off the individual, the ability is a wash. Should the secret check succeed, the priest should know for certain whether or not the target is in fact guilty of anything actually requiring a law enforcement type interaction, they should be able to read a rough severity of the situation from behavior, speech, body language, etc. Should they critically succeed, the Abjudicator should at least have it narrowed down to two closely related crime umbrellas (Murder or Assault, that sort of deal.) This could be because of blood on the clothes, signs of a fight, or various body language behaviors, or general demeanor behaviors. So long as this ability was a Success or Critical Success, for the next hour the Abjudicator has the benefit of the Fortune Trait on any social skill check they roll against the target (that is roll twice and take the best).
Mental Map
Feat 4
Traits:Cartographer of Fate Priest, Faith, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cartographer of Fate Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 10 minutes during Daily Preparations
Cartographers of Fate are well known for their sharp mind and memory for geography, seeming to be obsessed with maps and with keeping track of their surroundings. During Daily preparations a Cartographer of Fate may spend the necessary faith and time to set themselves up for this ability, utilizing this feat. They center their minds, hone their focus, tap into that well of divinity within them, that great gift from Feyheart. For the duration of their day, they have a flawless mental map. This doesn't provide them aid in finding where to go when exploring, they are unaware of their surroundings. What it does do however is ensure they are incapable of getting lost and turned around and going in circles. They will always notice immediately if they return somewhere they've already been and will immediately be able to orient themselves in such a location. It also means they can always backtrack very easily if necessary.
Of the Sea and Sail
Feat 4
Traits: Dockmaster Priest, Movement
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Dockmaster Priest
A Dockmaster Priest with this feat treats their movement speed as a Swim Speed as well.
Storm's Protection
Feat 4
Traits: Storm-Speaker Priest, Reaction, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Storm-Speaker Priest
A Storm-Speaker can seem as if protected by the very elements of Tempest itself, guarded by Sir Kartheart. They gain a special reaction they can utilize when attacked or threatened by any sort of damaging effect. The source of that damage becomes the target of a spell attack roll so long as they are within 60 feet of the priest this can be activated. Spending the necessary faith, the priest rolls the spell attack. If it hits, this attack deals 1d10 Lightning damage and 1d10 Thunder damage as a literal bolt of lightning just manifests violently, hammering into the assailant's body.
Biorhythmic Touch
Feat 4
Traits: Leaf-Caller Priest, Divine, Faith, Medical
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Leaf-Caller Priest
Cost: 2 Faith, 1 Action
With this feat a Leaf-Caller can touch a target (themself included) and imbue them with a bit of their own life essence, a Biorhythmic pulse if you will. This provides the target creature the benefit of Fast Healing (X) where X= Priest Level+Charisma or Wisdom Modifier for 1 minute (6 rounds). If you attempt to grant another target this ability, the first instance of it ends abruptly.
Dumb Luck is Good Luck
Feat 4
Traits: Cardshark Priest, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cardshark Priest
So long as a Cardshark has at least 1 Faith in their Faith Pool when it happens, the first natural 1 they roll in a day, if they have this feat, counts as a 10 instead.
Burning Radiance
Feat 4
Traits: Sun, Fire, Radiant, Sun-Caller Priest
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Sun-Caller Priest
Cost: 2 faith, Reaction (responding to taking damage or being attacked from a source you can see within 60 feet)
A Sun-Caller may spend the required faith and allow this reaction to trigger. They make a Calling (Spell) attack roll against the offending target/creature, though they must choose which it shall be, the Burning, or the Radiance. If the attack hits, it deals 2d8+(Charisma or Wisdom Attribute Modifier) of the appropriate elemental damage. Fire for Burning, Radiant for Radiance. If it scores a critical hit, the creature is afflicted with Ablaze (X) where X is equal to your Priest level for Burning. For Radiance, the creature suffers Blind (1) if its a critical hit. In both case they also take double damage obviously. If the attack misses, nothing really happens. If its a critical miss, the priest rolls Ire of the Gods, subtracting 75 from the d100 roll. If its less than 001, then nothing happens, it would seem Vosana did not take notice of the tactical blunder.
Studied Scriptures I
Feat 6
Traits: Priest, Divine, Calling
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
A Priest whom takes this feat selects a Prayer from their options that make up their Prayer list at Tier I with a Calling DC equal to or less than 20. They may call upon this Prayer 1/day without rolling a Prayer skill roll, though naturally this also means you cannot critically succeed, but nor can you suffer a failure or critical failure.
Group Meditation
Feat 6
Traits: Priest, Faith, Medicine, Activity
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
Cost: 2 Faith
Tapping into your natural pool of Divinity as an activity during a Regroup you allow the group to recover from a variety of aliments more rapidly than they should by exerting this well of power you hold. They may recover from/reduce their Wounded, Exhausted or Doomed conditions by (1). At 12th level you may spend 4 Faith on this to allow that reduction to be up to (2) and at 18th level you may spend 6 and allow the reduction to be up to (3).
Pack Tactics
Feat 6
Traits:Moon-Caller Priest, Animal
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Moon-Caller Priest
A Moon-Caller who takes this feat, they and their hound companion count each other as 2 creatures for the point of triggering outnumbering effects and bonuses, as well as for the threshold for enemies to be able to outnumber them.
Crafter's Blessing of Arms
Feat 6
Traits: Order Librarium Priest, Faith, Weapon, Divine, Ritual
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Order of Librarium Priest
Cost: 2 Faith +1/extra weapon you wish to affect.
As part of your daily preparations, taking 10 minutes of ritual and prayer, tinkering with and working with the weapon(s) you grant and gift them the benefit of enchantment. For the rest of the day the weapon(s) in question are lesser magick weapons, becoming +1 weapons (increasing their damage and attack rolls by 1) as well as imbuing them with a Tier I enchantment of your choice. If affecting more than 1 weapon, you enchant them all with the same singular enchantment, however you may spend 1 extra faith per weapon to allow you to vary the enchantment upon them instead of them all being the same Tier I enchantment. This can only affect weapons that are non-magickal to begin with.
Weight of Conscience
Feat 6
Traits: Abjudicator Priest, Faith, Divine, Attack, Auditory, Compulsion
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Abjudicator Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 2 Actions
Utilizing the knowledge from Sniff out the Guilty, instead of trying to Read the Guilt, perhaps you simply try to let the individual's conscience betray them. This is an attack, however you attack using Intimidate, Persuade/Bribery or Deception, depending if you want to attempt to scare them, make a deal with them, or trick them. Whatever it is you say isn't irrelevant, however it doesn't need to be detailed, because what is more important is the weight of faith behind your words. Should your skill roll overcome their DC (like Class DC, except ignoring their favored stat and replacing it with Charisma) then the attack is successful. If you critically succeed, they take double damage and based on what it is your after (a confession, turning over an associate, etc) they begin giving you everything, unable to bear the weight of guilt, spilling their guts. Should you merely normal succeed, they take 3d6+Charisma Modifier Psychic damage and will in a limited capacity begin to co-operate, though it will still require more negotiation and further dialogue. If the creature was hostile and is sapient, at this point in either case they stop resisting. If you fail, they still take half damage and though they will stop resisting they won't disarm themselves. They will consent to the correctness of the idea they are carrying guilt/information/or are guilty of some wrongdoing, but will be very cagey with details, unwilling to so easily give up everything without a lot more negotiation. Should you critically fail, they take no damage and seem unaffected as if they have no conscience to speak of.
Well Traveled Welcome
Feat 6
Traits: Cartographer of Fate Priest, Social, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cartographer of Fate Priest
Cost: 2 Faith
A Cartographer of Fate is very well traveled and oft due to the religion they follow they have connections upon connections. There is not a settlement in the land that doesn't have some small inn or bunkhouse tucked away somewhere with direct religious ties to Feyheart's faithful, its just a question of remembering them. Thankfully Feyheart provides. For the appropriate amount of Faith listed whenever a Cartographer of Fate enters a settlement they can take a minute, thinking, tapping into that divine well, and be shown directions and the name of the establishment that would provide for that need within the settlement in question. Furthermore, so long as they arrive within 28 hours (1 day) of entering the settlement, they can insure that both themselves and their traveling companions (up to 4 others) are provided for without need of a tithe or offering.
Mind of Charts
Feat 6
Traits: Dockmaster Priest, Directions, Water, Faith, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Dockmaster Priest
So long as a Dockmaster has 1 Faith in their Faith Pool, their memory for ocean currents and their complex interactions and directional behaviors is like a steel trap. It is flawless and they are pretty much incapable of getting truly lost at sea. They may not always know exact location because of lack of landmarks, but at any given time they merely need to spend a minute of focus, falling into the well of faith, feeling the winds, the water below the ship/boat's deck, letting the knowledge of the High Captain flood their mind like a tsunami. After which they will know what sea lane, that is major current they are within and this will help inform them of a rough geographical location. Based on the directionality of the current, and the time of year from that information they will be able to provide a rough direction and distance estimate (accurate to within 30 miles) to the nearest land.
Valorous War Cry
Feat 6
Traits: Storm-Speaker Priest, Auditory, Divine, Faith
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Storm-Singer Priest
Cost: 2 Faith and 2 actions
Letting out a war cry for yourself and your allies, something to stir the blood, raise the spirits, inspire the courage and bravery, you shout with supernatural force. Yourself and any ally within 30 feet of you in any direction reduce any instances of Frightened you may have by (1), as well as this will break any Tier I complusionary effect such as charm, command, or any other such mental effect upon an ally. At 12th level you reduce Frightened by (2) and this will break Tier II compulsion like effects and at 18th level you reduce Frightened by (3) and any and all compulsion like effects.
Gift of Manna I
Feat 6
Traits: Leaf-Caller Priest, Divine, (Appropriate Element)
Source: Adventures in Valerick

A Leaf-Caller with this feat adds another Spell-Form from their chosen school or one from the Universal list, any spell, to their prayer list. They may Call upon this 'prayer-spell' at Tier I freely 1/day, no roll required.
Stack the Deck
Feat 6
Traits: Cardshark Priest, Fortune, Faith, Divine, Activity
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Cardshark Priest with Up the Ante Feat.
Cost: 5 Faith +2/Extra target beyond yourself and the first other person, 1 Activity
A Cardshark with this feat, during daily preparations, or during a Regroup as one of their activities, may choose to indulge this ability. Spending 15 minutes, you imbue the Faith, that divine pool you tap into, amongst yourself and your chosen companion(s). You insure some sort of shared metaphysical or meta-mental connection between each other that so long as you remain close enough to each other you will all benefit from. So long as you are all within 30 feet of each other you garner the benefits. If someone ends up 30 feet away from you, the epicenter of this effect, that merely means they do not benefit and you all cannot benefit from them. Stacking the deck refers to the benefit. When using this ability choose physical or mental. Whenever those under this effect must roll a saving throw that falls into the appropriate category (Power, Reflex, Fortitude for Physical. Logic, Will, and Ego for Mental), they roll using the highest modifier among all those so connected instead of their own.
Tactical Reposition
Feat 6
Traits: Sun-Caller Priest, Faith, Movement, Displacement
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Sun-Caller Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 1 Action
This ability can target anyone within 30 feet of you, friend or foe. They can resist this with an Ego Save, or they may let it happen. If they choose to resist and critically fail, along with being repositioned they suffer 2d6 Radiant damage and are Confused (1). If they fail, they are merely Confused (1). If they succeed they are still displaced but suffer no ill consequences. If they critically succeed, you take 2d6 force damage and they are not repositioned. This ability teleports the target in a flash of sunfire like radiance, they seem to dissolve into raw luminesence and reappear somewhere within 30 feet of where they were. You cannot displace them into an obvious lethal environmental hazard (like over an opening of a volcano, or past the edge of a cliff overlooking a few hundred foot drop.), nor can you place them partway into the ground or otherwise inbetween objects in that sense (like half in and half out of a wall or tree, etc etc). However you can simply displace them 30 feet up if you so wished, or displace them beside a creature or entity hostile to them, or right beside an environmental hazard such as a building on fire, the edge of a cliff, that sort of thing.
War Priest
Feat 8
Traits: Priest, Uncommon, Advanced Scripture (Spell-Shape/Metamagick)
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest who cannot have Boisterous Sermon Feat
A priest with this feat, they no longer provoke any reactionary attacks or strikes (counter-spell/counter-prayer still are provoked) for Calling in melee range. This includes any Faith abilities that have the Divine trait as well, as these would normally also provoke from anyone not the target.
Boisterous Sermon
Feat 8
Traits: Priest, Uncommon, Advanced Scripture (Spell-shape/metamagick)
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest who cannot have the War Priest Feat.
A priest with this feat is very used to speaking to large congregations, and is skilled at maintaining their voice and speaking with a boisterous volume that fills any space. They increase the range of all Faith abilities with the Divine trait, as well as all Prayers, by 1/2 their range. This means touch effects may be utilized at 15 feet.
Arms and Armor Expertise
Feat 10
Traits: Priest, Weapon, Armor
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Priest
A Priest whom takes this Feat gains Expert Proficiency in the weapon and armor groups provided by their Diety at 1st level.
Demoralizing Howl
Feat 10
Traits: Animal, Moon-Caller Priest, Divine, Faith, Attack, Auditory
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Moon-Caller Priest
Cost: 3 Faith, 2 Actions
A Moon-Caller with this feat is actually not garnering a direct benefit from this feat, however it does allow their hound companion the use of their Faith Pool for a special ability the hound gets access too. Letting out a keening howl not unlike a wolf, the hound's deep howl sends shivers down the spine of any and all whom hear it. Those you deem hostile within 60 feet of the hound need to make a Will Save against your Profession (Class) DC. Should they critically fail they become Stunned (1), and Frightened (2) of both the hound AND you, as well as taking double damage. Should they normal fail they take 2d8+Hound's Strength Modifier Psychic damage and are Frightened (2) of both the hound AND you. Should they succeed they take half damage and are still Frightened (1) of both the hound AND you. If they critically succeed they take no damage but are Frightened (1) of the hound.
Armorer's Boon

Traits: Uncommon, Order Librarium Priest, Faith, Divine, Ritual
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Order Librarium Priest with Crafter's Blessing of Armor
Cost: 3 Faith +1/extra armor set or shield you wish to affect.
This is an evolution of Crafter's Blessing of Armor. You now turn them into +2 objects with a Tier II (or two Tier I) Enchantment(s) of your choice. Similarly they will all recieve the same enchantment(s) unless you are willing to spend 1 extra Faith per item after the first one to give them different enchantment(s). The armors and shields you affect must be non-magickal.
Under Oath
Feat 10
Traits: Uncommon, Adjudicator Priest, Faith, Divine
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Adjudicator Priest with Read the Guilt Feat
Cost: 3 Faith, Free Action
Tapping into your divine pool, you manifest your will upon the conversation you are having, as you formally both swear to tell the truth, nothing but the whole truth, by the Divine Judge's will, and you engage the target, the person you are conversing with, to do the same. They cannot resist this, they simply will be unable to continue to converse, suffering the Silence condition for the next hour, if they refuse to swear the oath. This does not prevent either of you from lying but what it does do is make it very difficult to hide, as every time you lie, you will take 1d10 Force damage from a sudden stabbing sensation deep in the center of your skull. Whenever either party tries to lie, they need to make a Fortitude Save against your Profession DC. If they critically fail, they don't even fully finish the lie coherently, taking double damage and screaming uncontrollably from the sudden pain. If they fail, they grit their teeth and finish the lie, but no intuition check is required to know they are lying, they cannot even roll Deception, its too obvious. If they succeed they take full damage still but can roll Deception to sell it, as they manage not to show the pain much at all, but they are under Misfortune (roll twice take the worse one). Only on a critical success can they lie so smoothly, whilst still taking half damage, that they do not show anything and may roll a Deception check as they normally would.

Targeted Writ
Feat 10
Traits: Dockmaster Priest, Faith, Activity, Ritual, Uncommon
Source: Adventures in Valerick
Access: Dockmaster Priest
Cost: 5 Faith
Tapping into their Divinity as a special daily preparation activity, a priest with this feat can issue a targeted Writ of Privateering, basically a bounty, gifted out by the High Captain. This will come with a time limit, and lock the priest out of this ability until the writ is completed by the captain it was authorized to or until the Writ expires or is officially abandoned (the severance offering of five thousand gold made properly to have this done). The writ will come with a cargo manifest, with at least two items explicited marked to be offerings to the High Captain, not meant to be loot. (This could even include the ship itself, increasing the difficulty of the task, as one might expect), however it could be as many as 5 items (an amount of gold would be one item). These demands will never exceed more than 30% of the potential loot to be taken from the vessel in question (not counting the ship if its listed, that's a unique hedge case, its not common, only 1 in a 100 writs make such a demand). The writ will also come with a detailed armament report of the vessel, its last known crew compliment, noting any official magisters or priests or others of that ilk (but not Shamans or the like, generally, as such people hide what they are as best they can). Lastly it will come with a special compass like object, but the needle always points towards the vessel that is the target of the Writ. The timeframe for the Writ will vary, but is always fair. Aggressive, but reasonable, always accounting for distance of last known location, offering a few days extra to chase and attempt to find favorable conditions to engage. However the price for failing to complete a writ is steep indeed for a captain, for then they owe the church, and therefore the God of the Sea, a great debt. Captain Black Jeremiah does not take well to debtors.

Cost: 2 Faith/ 5 miles (10 kms), 10 minutes
During Daily Prepartions, a Cartographer of Fate may roll a Craft (Cartography) check whilst spending the appropriate Faith, against their own Profession DC. Should they critically succeed, they manage through some deep forgotten memory, or divine inspiration, to sketch out what will turn out to be a shockingly accurate map, down to the distances of the scale, of the surrounding area in all directions based upon how much Faith they spent. If they succeed, it will still be really quite accurate, a couple major landmarks or biome transitions may be off by a mile or two, but nothing so major that the map is unusable by any means. Should they fail, the map is not really up to snuff but they know that and can behave accordingly or even simply choose not to use it. Should they critically fail they believe it is dead on accurate but it is woefully incorrect and wrong, but believably wrong, just everything is in the wrong place. Because of this obviously the check should be rolled as a secret check.
