This still throws me for a loop. Not saying it's an awful thing, but I think of cleric as "warrior priest," and priest = worshipping a deity. Even in Eberron clerics worshipped deities... It was just intentionally vague as to whether those deities existed or if it was the belief that powered the miracles.

Didn't AD&D 2E already make the distinction, though? Clerics were generic worshippers, and specialty priests were devoted to a particular deity.

Not sure what Hank's guard background could be, though.

Sports jock?

I looked. From the 2nd Ed PHB: The overall class is Priest. A Cleric is a priest who worships/serves a particular mythos/religion. Druid is a type of priest who serves nature(also kind of defined as a religion).
Possible later supplements changed things.

They both get their miracles from deities, though. I thought what @Dire Bare was saying was that a cleric didn't need to worship gods to get their spells- but that could've been a mistake on my part.

Seeing Bobby with the Farmer background gives me a sudden urge to write up a custom “Mallrat” background.

Abilities: dexterity, charisma, constitution.
Skill proficiencies: sleight of hand, deception?

Deception check: "Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?"

Useless fact: Yondu does in fact want a chocolate covered pretzel and eats it. IYKYK

If I recall right, in 1e, it wasn't until you were using level 3+ spells that clerics actually had to reach out to their gods' agents for spells. Level one and two were considered ritual/Catholic High Mass type things

I’m curious what god Earth girl is a cleric of.

It was pointed out in another thread, would have made more sense to have her be a bard or Druid.

It depends on where and how this other unnamed party of Earth people manifested.

If you read the Guardians of the Flames series, the PCs were all Earth college kids who were magically forced into the body and realm of their college D&D-type game by their professor/DM, who was actually an exiled wizard from that world.

The cleric, Doria, was both herself and her character mentally. She drew on the power of the Tabernacle of the Hand without faith being a requisite.

Sports jock?

I see Hank as the sports jock who actually steps in to break up bullying. And he probably is the one who snitches to the teacher than they forget to give homework.

Aren't those low level divine miracles still coming from praying to deities? I'm not too familiar with Catholic high mass, I figured it was a god worship thing.

The 2e stuff says clerics worship a pantheon- that's still worshipping deities.

Let’s be real, Niko comes from Middle America. She more than likely has a religion.

She’s probably into her religion enough that she goes to church every day for reasons. Probably plans to be a preacher or priest later in life.

Teleported to D&D world and suddenly her FAITH kicks in. Cleric.

Either her real world deity is reaching across the void to give her powers, or her faith just grants her power, or a local deity who is like her real deity is granting her power.

Or being WotC it’s all Bahamut any way you slice it.
