Cleric Character Class

A priestly champion who wields divine magic in service of a higher power.

Armor Proficiencies: Cloth, Light, Medium, Shields

Weapon Proficiencies: Simple weapons

Save Proficiencies: Wisdom, Charisma

Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. Sometimes evildoers benefit most from a mace to the head, so clerics don't neglect combat training. When making a cleric, make Wisdom your highest ability score, followed closely by Constitution and Strength.

DIVINE

Divine abilities represent the power of the gods channeled directly through their followers. They involve such miracles as fire from thin air, pillars of flame shooting up from the ground, and even the power to split the very earth itself.

RIGHTEOUS CHAMPION

Champions who fight in the name of their gods are imbued with a bit of that god's power, enough to strike down their enemies with divine righteousness, and to send the foulest of enemies running away in fear.

LIGHT

Clerics of Light promote the ideals of rebirth and renewal, truth, vigilance, and beauty, which the gods they follow represent. While most of these abilities focus on healing the injured, the power of Light can also be a powerful weapon against servants of darkness.

LIFE

Chief among a divine servant's duties is to grant salvation and aid to others. Through a variety of blessings and chants, these heroes can bolster their allies, restore the cursed and injured, and bring hope to those in need of aid.

WAR

Holy champions who follow the gods of war excel in battle and inspire those around them. Almost exclusively offensive in nature, war abilities focus on dealing massive amounts of Divine damage, smiting one's enemies on the battlefield with righteous fury.

PROTECTION

Regardless of their class, heroes that are of true heart seek, above all else, to protect and defend their allies and those who cannot fend for themselves. Protection abilities focus on the ability to close quickly with enemies and to defend against the strongest of attacks.

MARTIAL

Whether a grizzled veteran or a squire in training, most professions have some degree of martial training. Those who excel in the use of arms, armor and melee combat area fearsome force to behold on the battlefield. Martial abilities focus on manipulating the battlefield by weakening one's enemies.
