Clerics

Clerics are the loyal and devoted followers of the Crafters. Each has joined a monastery of their chosen deity and trained hard to learn the ways of their teachings. In all the lands of Mithrym there are four types of Cleric …

Paladins

A Paladin is a warrior-monk who has sworn to lead the charge for their deity, figuratively and literally. Typically seen in armour and carrying a weapon these zealous Clerics are loyal, devoted and strict in their discipline and their outlook on life.

Priests

A Priest is a Cleric that has devoted their life to study and self-betterment. They have spent many years learning all the writings and lore of their own deity and likely of the whole pantheon. They are keen historians and devoted to the study of their own deity's powers and gifts.

Healers

A Healer is a Cleric that, whilst remaining at their monastery or temple, has devoted their life to helping others. They are well versed in the ways of medicine and work as surgeons and hospitallers. Their pursuit of knowledge whilst more focused on the practical than the abstract, is no less strong than that of the Priests.

Administrators

An Administrator is a Cleric that has devoted their life to serving others. They have learnt literacy and numeracy and use them both to help individuals, enterprises and governments to keep ordered and proper records that enable the smooth running of the world.

All clerics have a hit dice of: d8

This creature will follow them wherever they go and, with a Normal Nature check, the Priest may issue commands to the creature. If the creature is killed then this bonus is lost. If the creature is separated from the Priest, it will find its way to them as quickly as it is able to.
3 Priest Immu ANIMATE DEAD: Accomplished priests of Immu may begin to re-animate anyone who had converted to worshiping Immu. The body may be prepared in order to create a Skeleton (taking 1 hour) or animated as-is to create a Zombie (taking 1 minute). At higher levels, a priest may do so with multiple bodies at a time (2 at level 4, 3 at level 5, and so on). The undead remain under the command of the priest (or an alternate commander they have named) until successfully turned by another Cleric.
3 Administrator All MEMORY: Experienced Administrators can recollect details of a conversation without taking notes. While it is widely known that this is possible, it is not considered legally binding and so only benefits the Administrator when recollecting what to do, where to go or what is needed.
5 Paladin All HOLY WEAPON: A Paladin that achieves this bonus can, as a bonus action, cause a spectral weapon to appear in their hand. The weapon can take whatever shape they choose however it performs as a Melee weapon and does 1d8 + 2 damage on a successful hit. When combat ends, the weapon disappears.
5 Healer All INVIGORATING TONIC: An experienced Healer is able to produce a tonic that gives the drinker 5 temporary hit points. The Healer can produce the same number of doses per day as their level.

5 Priest Orha & Ankha DIVINE POSESSION: A Priest of Orha or Ankha may pray once per day that they complete a single task. Immediately they become possessed by their god and complete the task without requiring any ability checks. Once complete, they have no memory of how they did it or what transpired during the execution of the task. Tasks must be for a single action or goal and cannot involve multiple named steps.
5 Priest Hokki & Bamma FAMILIAL TELEPATHY: A Priest of Hokki or Bamma, having come to know their familial animal friend well, gains a telepathic link to it. With this link they can see through its eyes and send commands at any distance. A Normal Nature check is still required to make sure the animal does as commanded.
5 Priest Immu RAISE DEAD: Highly accomplished priests of Immu may, in stead of creating an undead creature from a corpse, fully revive the human. Doing so requires their soul to be willing and will mean that they are marked as a follower of Immu (and may be raised as undead after they die again regardless of their previous faith/religeon). Raising takes 8 hours to complete.
5 Administrator All RESTORE: A highly accomplished Administrator can restore a document, record or other written item whether it has been torn, shredded or even burnt.
