Hierophant
Priests are those who have devoted their lives
to a god, philosophy, or religion. The occupation
of a priest is the most diverse due to the number of
different gods and philosophies. Therefore, priests
are unable to be standardized or generalized, and
they are only briefly introduced here; most of the
information relevant to a priesthood may be found
in Neveria (Fantasy World). 2 main classes of priests
will be introduced: hierophants and druids.
All priests must meet minimum score requisites
in the sub-ability of Language and the ability
of Wisdom. Further, these requirements become
more stringent as spell level increases. Hence, a priest
may attain high levels, but be limited in spellcasting
ability. See the table below.
Priests gain access to spells as granted by
their gods. Usually, priests have dreams induced by
their god regarding the proper ingredients and ritual
necessary for casting a certain spell, or they are instructed
by other priests of the same faith. If a
chant is required for a spell, priests speak in tongues,
influenced by their god or religion. In any case,
priests may cast any spells from their god as long as
they have enough Magic Points at the moment.
Similarly, as a priest advances in occupational
level, provided they meet the minimum requisites
per spell level, their odds of increasing in spell level
are noted on a table on the following page.
