Cleric
| |||||
Fanatical in their devotion to the Gods, Clerics draw their powers from the blessings of divinities. Their prayers attain the favor of Deities who grant them mystical might. While the Cleric is possessed of some martial prowess, their primary strength is divine magic. Most Clerics share in common abilities. However, unique abilities are accessible only by pontiffs of certain deities and alignments. No matter what heavenly power they praise, the most essential asset of any Cleric is wisdom.
"What in me is dark, illumine; what is low, raise and support; that to the height of this great argument I may assert Eternal Providence, and justify the ways of God to men." John Milton, Paradise Lost

Wisdom without intelligence is useless, so most Clerics hone their wit almost as sharply as they hone their wisdom. Such intense study leaves little time for recreation and Clerics are often quite lacking in dexterity.
