[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 703349, member: 2167"] Anyone here ever play Dark Age of Camolot MMORPG? Here is the basic Fluff from that class. [b]FRIAR[/b] A religous zealot who joins the Defenders of Albion and fights alongside his arms-bearing Realmmates. Friars get healing prayers as well as quarterstaff combat styles. A small number of Acolytes, extremely zealous in devotion to the Church and Realm, devote their lives to the Defenders of Albion and accompany their arms-wielding Realmmates in battle. These Friars eschew armor and traditional weapons, and instead rely on their incredible prowess with the Quarterstaff and evasive combat maneuvers. Because of their official position in the Church, Friars are granted the ability to heal their friends (as well as themselves as needed, except that this power is granted only a few times per day. Friars can also cure poison and disease in their friends and themselves. They cannot heal or cure as effectively as their Priest church-mates, but they are a welcome addition to any party. In use of the Quarterstaff, Friars are second to none. They learn many different and deadly combat moves and styles from the earliest levels. A Friar in battle can mete out a tremendous amount of damage to a foe, but his lack of armor makes him vulnerable to enemy attack. The adage of the Friar in battle is truly, “Kill your enemy before he kills you.” Any Acolyte may choose to join the Defenders of Albion at 5th level, but few do given the rigors of the Friar’s life. Those who welcome excitement in battle, healing and helping their Realmmates, as well as learning quick and often breathtakingly athletic combat moves will welcome the life of the Friar. [i]Converted to D&D:[/i] [b]Primary Abilities:[/b] Dexterity and Wisdom [b]BAB, SAVES, SKILLS:[/b] As Cleric [b]Weapons & Armor:[/b] Light armor & Shields. Quarterstaff (could include Weapon Focus free since they only get one weapon). [b]Example Class Abilities:[/b] Monk's WIS to AC bonus Evasion & Improved Evasion Increased Damage with Staff (something like better criticals over time or something like sneak damage, etc.) Bonus Feats (Quarterstaff related) Friar Spells: Level 6 Max, and only Divine Spells that are Combat Buffs (ie: Divine Armor) or Cure. (No Divination, No general Protections, No Restoration etc. etc.) NO CHANNELING Just a real basic toss together for ideas. [/QUOTE]
