Complete Divine is a supplemental rulebook for the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game published by Wizards of the Coast. It replaces and expands upon earlier rulebooks entitled Masters of the Wild and Defenders of the Faith, as well as being a catchall for anything that doesn't fit into Complete Adventurer, Complete Arcane, and Complete Warrior. It presents additional base classes, prestige classes, and feats. It also contains additional rules and character ideas based of belief and the afterlife.

New base classes

Shugenga

Updated from Oriental Adventures, the shugenga utilizes primal energies, and tapping into the earth to cast spells. It is a charisma based sorcerer-style divine casting class, with a spell list biased towards elemental spells.

Favoured Soul

Updated from the Miniatures Handbook, the favoured soul is a spontaneously casting divine class, with a couple of additional divine abilities closely tied to his or her deity.

Spirit Shaman

The class has a fairly narrow divine spell selection. The spirit shaman cast spells as sorcerers do, but they change their spell selection each day by sending their spirit guardian into the spirit world. The shaman also has a special abilities that affect spirits (incorporeal undead, fey, elementals and creatures defined as spirits in other texts). The spirit guardian is a purely mental/spiritual creature, incapable of affecting the world, though it does grant the spirit shaman the feat, "Alertness", as well as justifying certain class features. Ultimately, at 20th level, the spirit shaman becomes a spirit himself, much as a 20th level monk becomes an outsider.

New prestige class

These include church inquisitor, consecrated harrier, contemplative, divine oracle, holy liberator, hospitaler, pious templar, sacred exorcist, sacred fist and warpriest (Defenders of the Faith), blighter and geomancer (Masters of the Wild), temple raider of Olidammara (Song and Silence), void disciple (Oriental Adventures), ur-priests (The Book of Vile Darkness), stormlord (Powers and Pantheon), radiant servant of Pelor and shining blade of Heironeous.

In addition, there are several previously undescribed prestige classes.

Black flame zealot

A class that combines a hashisheen cult with the Arabic view of Zoroastrian fire worship, but one which isn't automatically evil.

Entropomancer

A class that worships oblivion and has the ability to summon fragments of a sphere of annihilation.

Evangelist

The only five-level class in the book, designed for converting enemies rather than killing them.

Rainbow servant

A class of divine or arcane spellcasters trained by couatls to have similar abilities to the creatures.

Seeker of the misty isle

An elf class.
