Cleric

Clerics are people that have chosen to follow the path of enlightenment through a deity. Their powers are derived directly from this deity for most things, though purely physical skills aren't. Clerics have mid-level combat abilities, excelling most with bludgeoning based weapons such as maces and flails. The deity a cleric chooses to follow may be either good or evil. Neutral clerics exist, but in some areas their powers are diminished from those that have chosen a side.

Clerics are the most defensively orientated of all the classes. Most of their spells focus on healing or defending the faithful, with their few combat spells being far less powerful than those of mages. However, clerics are the best class by far at healing magics, and they possess an impressive array of protective magics, as well as fair combat prowess.

Since they worship and derive their powers from a deity, clerics have an additional stat that other classes do not: piety. A cleric's piety will increase through prayer, making sacrifices to their deity, and through the use of their powers. As their piety rises, so does the power of their spells. Piety will slowly decrease over time without prayer, usage, and sacrifice.
