The priest speaks a word charged with divine power that scatters, stuns, and banishes creatures of opposing nature.

Mechanics

. Utters a divine word affecting nonbelievers/creatures of opposed within ~30-ft. radius; effects scale by the creatures' HD relative to the priest — lower-HD creatures are killed, then paralyzed, then stunned, then deafened (a tiered effect), and extraplanar creatures of opposed alignment are banished. No for the tiered effects (HD-gated). Reverse is the opposing word. : the holy symbol.
