C lerics are interm ediaries b etw een the m ortal w orld
and the distant planes o f the gods. A s varied as the gods
they serve, clerics strive to em b ody the h andiw ork o f
their deities. No ordinary priest, a cleric is im bued with
divine m agic.

H e a le r s a n d W a r r io r s
Divine m agic, as the nam e suggests, is the p ow er o f
the gods, flow ing from them into the w orld. C lerics are
conduits for that pow er, m anifesting it as m iracu lou s
effects. The gods d on ’t grant this p ow er to everyone w h o
seek s it, but only to th ose c h osen to fulfill a high calling.
H arn essin g divine m agic d oesn ’t rely on study or
training. A cleric m ight learn form ulaic prayers and
ancient rites, but the ability to cast cleric spells relies on
devotion and an intuitive sen se o f a deity’s w ishes.
C lerics com bin e the helpful m agic o f healing and
inspiring their allies with sp ells that harm and hinder
foes. Th ey can provoke awe and dread, lay c u rses o f
plague or poison, and even call dow n flam es from heaven
to con su m e their en em ies. For th ose evildoers w h o w ill
benefit m ost from a m a ce to the head, clerics depen d on
their com bat training to let them w ade into m elee with
the p ow er o f the g od s on their side.

D iv in e A g e n ts
Not every acolyte or officiant at a tem ple or shrine is a
cleric. S o m e priests are called to a sim ple life o f tem ple
service, carryin g out their g o d s’ w ill through prayer and
sacrifice, not by m a gic and strength o f arm s. In som e

are rare in m ost hierarchies.
W h en a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually
