Cleric

Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead.

How it works

Your domains can be changed after character creation. Once you have completed the quest A Matter of Faith, the Priestess of Ineth'Xa (Abiz - Shrine of Ineth'Xa) can swap one of them for another.
A swap that would give you the same domain twice is refused.
A pure Cleric gets +3 spell DC over the value on the Magic page. 30 Cleric levels without being pure give +1.

What you gain, level by level

Level	Gain
1	Weapon Proficiency (simple), Armor Proficiency (light), Armor Proficiency (medium), Armor Proficiency (heavy), Shield Proficiency, Turn Undead
21	Epic Cleric
23	bonus feat (and again every 3 levels to 38)
30	+1 natural armour
40	High Priest, +1 natural armour

Spells

Spells are prepared in advance and spent as they are cast. The casting ability is Wisdom.

How a save is worked out, and what a slot is actually spent on, are on Magic.

Spells a day, by spell level. A level that is not listed has the same allowance as the last one listed above it.
