Cleric

Description: Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grant the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn.

Special Abilities & Feats

Domains

Each domain gives your cleric access to a special domain power and additional spells.
This increases the total number of spells that a cleric may prepare each day by one per spell level.
Upon taking her first level of cleric, a character is allowed to select 2 domains from the following list:

Spells

On Avlis, clerics do not draw power from philosophies and abstract concepts, but rather from the deities directly. Clerics are the keepers of religion and ethics (or lack thereof) in the world, and are the source of moral and lifecycle support for the common folk in the world.

Notes

  • Animal Domain's summon spell modification applies to summon spells cast by multiclassed cleric's other casting class. (e.g. wizard 10/cleric 1 Magic:Summon Creature I spell cast from wizard spellbook summons a boar).
  • Healing Domain's Empower Healing ability also empowers healing potions and items that cast the affected spells.
  • Clerics with the healing domain will notice that empowered versions of the cure spells will not be twice empowered.
  • When casting divine spells on Avlis, you must have a valid Avlis deity in your deity field to cast spells above 3rd level.
  • Favored cleric: A chosen few clerics may be marked as favored by their deity. In terms of In Game mechanics, this means an increase the potency of the Cleric's epic spells. (See: Magic System, SHS 1.8)
