Cleric

Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grant the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn.

Out on the planes, nobody's got to watch their backs more than priests. Sure, they've got a power backing them up, but that means they've got automatic enemies as well. A priest of Lathander is asking for alot of extra trouble if he makes his way to Gehenna, just as a cleric of Morigon is going to have his hands full on Ysgard. That doesn't mean priests can't travel to realms of gods that oppose their powers - sometimes a blood's just got to do what he's got to do.

Hit Die: d8

Proficiencies: Armor (Light, Medium, Heavy), Shields, Weapons (Simple)

Skill Points: 2 + INT

Class Skills: Concentration, Craft (all), Decipher Script, Forgery, Heal, Knowledge (all), Lore, Parry, Persuade, Profession (all), Spellcraft

Spellcasting: Divine (spell failure from armor is ignored), wisdom-based (a base wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level is required to cast a spell, bonus spells are based on modified wisdom, and the wisdom modifier affects spell difficulty class), and requires preparation (except for "cure" and "inflict" spells, which can be spontaneous cast).

Domains

Upon taking her first level of cleric, a character selects 2 domains from the following list.

air - animal - death - destruction - earth - evil - fire - good - healing - knowledge

- magic - plant - protection - strength - sun - travel - trickery - war - water

Each domain gives a cleric access to a special domain power and additional spells as listed below. Some domain powers enhance turning, some modify certain spells (even if cast from an item or from another class spellbook), some are spell-like abilities, and some are just the availability of more domain spells.

Bonus spell slots come from items and high wisdom.

As a rule of thumb, clerics can cast spell levels up to half their class level rounded up.

Notes

• Outsiders have been improved. They get turn resistance equal to their spell resistance rating (only clerics of the good or evil domains may turn them without the new planar turning feat). If you have the planar turning feat, they are weakened and only have 1/2 their spell resistance as turn resistance.
