Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 4533225" data-attributes="member: 158">In 2nd edition Forgotten Realms, in fact, the Realms were RIFE with low-level clerics at every little town parish or thorp. Pretty much every acolyte described was a Cleric 1, the head priest a Cleric 2 or 3, etc.In 1E and Basic as Philotomy Jurament said, there was a larger insinuation that 0-levels were more common in both holy and secular professions, but it wasn't spelled out, as most modules and so forth assumed "priest" meant "cleric class." I kind of liked what Eberron started with using the NPC classes more, making the actual clerics both PC and NPC that much more special. They were the only ones gifted with the ability to channel raw holy power any time they wished (spontaneous cures), the ability to turn undead by virtue of faith, etc.</blockquote>
