Heed the Fettered The sramana can detect penitent creatures who wish to atone for their misdeeds, creatures with the soulbound trait, and soul gems as an imprecise sense with a range of 120 feet.

Soul-Rescuing Vow A sramana can use interplanar teleport to teleport near a truly penitent creature, soulbound creature, or soul gem of which they're aware. If they do, they don't need a planar key and arrive 1d20 miles away from the subject. They can also teleport to the lands of the afterlife without a planar key.

Aura of Renunciation (aura, divine, mental) 100 feet. Truly penitent creatures in the sramana's aura are affected by a DC 35 Sanctuary spell. If any creature within the aura takes a hostile action, sanctuary ends for only that creature, not for the other creatures in the aura.

In addition, soul gems in the aura can't be ingested, consumed, or otherwise used. A creature who attempts to do so becomes Sickened 1 unless it succeeds at a DC 37 Fortitude save.

Shelter the Sufering ◆◆ Frequency once per day

Effect The sramana tosses the shawl of their robes into the air, where it expands to protect the sufering. Each truly penitent creature in a 100-foot emanation is affected by an Invisibility spell, and the area is affected by the feld of life spell, though it afects only penitent creatures and soulbound creatures. These efects last for 1 round but can be sustained for up to 1 hour.
