Message: <blockquote data-quote="Meatboy" data-source="post: 6154771" data-attributes="member: 40857">When I was putting this together I was wondering whether or not I should ditch clerics. But I've do appreciate the whole warrior/wizard thing they going on. If not always the whole religious thing. But I figured they are very central to my minds eye view of what DND is they gotta stay. Magic is a little more limited for clerics than in normal 3.x because all spells are linked to clerical domains, which are just mini spell lists, an clerics can only prepare spells from their domains.Cleric (Wisdom)Clerics are the servants of the gods. They are not however mere priest, not mouthpieces attempting to sway the masses. No, clerics are the hands of a deity, wielding the power of their lords and ladies and actively working to push their agendas. They are usually able combatants, though no fighter, and their link to their god grants them some miraculous abilities, yet they are no mage.Wisdom is the primary attribute of clerics. Constitution, Strength or Charisma all make good choices for other primary attributes depending on whether the cleric is more crusader or proselytizer. Class AbilitiesHit Dice: d8Attack Bonus: +1Saves: Fortitude: +2, Reflex 0, Will +2Divine MasteryClerics are masters of the divine and as such add a +2 bonus, plus half their level, to the DC saves of their divine spells (see magic and casting). When activating wands or other magic items they only need to roll on the initial activation check, not every time. Provided they are divine in nature.Divine Spell Slots and Domains of Power Much like mages, clerics have the ability to cast spells. These spells do not come from pouring over musty old grimoires but instead are granted as favours from their divine patrons. At first level a cleric has 1 spell slot. This slot can only be filled with spells drawn from a cleric’s chosen domains. Each deity has several domains associated with them and at first level a cleric chooses 2 of those domains.Turn Undead Clerics of all stripes are granted the power to banish unnatural spirits. Turning has a 30 foot radius, centered on the caster. All Undead in the area take 1d6 Holy damage + 1d6 per CHA mod. No save. This power is usable 1 per day plus a number of additional times equal to the cleric’s WIS mod.Stout Combatant Most clerics have some ability to fight, but this ability is straightforward and unsubtle. Clerics can assign the Brutal or Vicious weapon styles to their weapons.</blockquote>
