The cleric spell list with cures etc is better suited, giving the templarate access to those spells allows them to claim a real monopoly on spellcasting in the city-states, because now the templars can provide all the real necessities (if the y choose to…) If templars can’t heal or cure disease or whatever then that weakens the sorcerer-kings’ hold on their cities because it creates a niche for druids or elemental clerics playing the healers role. Besides, templars were always portrayed as brutal thugs rather than zappy magic-users in the fiction, clerics and paladins can fit that role much better.Hamanu gets War, Light and Order clerics and Devotion paladins. Nibenay gets Twilight, Arcana, and Knowledge clerics, and Vengeance paladins. Dregoth gets Death clerics and Conquest paladins. The Oba gets Nature and Life clerics and Ancients paladins. Etc etc. maybe some of the sorcerer-kings (Nibenay and Guistenal for instance) might empower warlocks too, but clerics and paladins fit far, far better. Just change the tenets of the paladin’s oaths and you’re good to go…</blockquote>
