Cleric

Description

Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them into the world. Clerics are conduits for that power, manifesting it as miraculous effects. The gods don’t grant this power to everyone who seeks it, but only to those chosen to fulfill a high calling. Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. They can provoke awe and dread, lay curses of plague or poison, and even call down flames from heaven to consume their enemies. For those evildoers who will benefit most from a mace to the head, clerics depend on their combat training to let them wade into melee with the power of the gods on their side.

Every creature has a starting amount of Spell Points (SP) equal to 4.
Each attribute point spent during character creation towards a caster's Spellcasting Attribute increases their Spell Points (SP) by another 4.
Choose from 5 domains.
A cleric can come from anywhere, some chosen unwillingly to serve a divine purpose.
Most adventuring clerics maintain some connection to established temples and orders of their faiths. A temple might ask for a cleric’s aid, or a high priest might be in a position to demand it.
When a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually because his or her god demands it, to protect the masses, smiting evil, or seeking holy relics in ancient tombs.

Please take careful consideration when choosing the deity of your cleric. If unsure which god suits the character you intend to whitelist please open a lore-inquiry ticket within the DM section or the staff handling your whitelist.
This is a divinely empowered class and requires a deity active as of 5E.
To change deity as a cleric requires a minimum of 3x 1 hour sessions of RP. To maximize the mastery retained please open a lore-inquiry ticket about long term story progression exploring these changes.

Druids revere nature as a whole and might serve one of these deities, practicing mysterious rites and reciting all-but-forgotten prayers in their own secret tongue. But many of these gods have clerics as well, champions who take a more active role in advancing the interests of a particular nature god. These clerics might hunt the evil monstrosities that despoil the woodlands, bless the harvest of the faithful, or wither the crops of those who anger their gods.
