Suffering
Inflict Pain and Fester Misery
Pain and improvement, loss and recovery, struggle and triumph. This is the way of life for Clerics of Suffering, constantly seeking trials to learn and improve from. They hone their bodies and minds to be able to handle pain, and to deliver it too. In combat these Clerics are able to cause overwhelming pain and misery to their enemies, both physically and mentally, crippling them and allowing the Cleric's companions to finish them off.
