Priest
The handiwork of the gods is everywhere—in places of natural beauty, in mighty crusades, in soaring temples, and in the hearts of worshipers. Like people, gods run the gamut from benevolent to malicious, reserved to intrusive, simple to inscrutable. Priests are servants of these gods. Good priests heal, protect, and avenge. Evil priests pillage, destroy, and sabotage. A priest uses the power of his god to make his god’s will manifest. And if a priest uses his god’s power to improve his own lot, that’s to be expected, too.
Characteristics: Priests are masters of divine magic, which is especially good at support spells. They have some combat training. They can use simple weapons, and they are trained in the use of armor, since armor does not interfere with divine spells the way it does with arcane spells.
Religion: Every deity has priests devoted to him or her, so priests can be of any religion. Most priests are officially ordained members of religious organizations, commonly called churches or temples. Each has sworn to uphold the ideals of his church.
