ACOLYTE
The acolyte class is for those clerics that choose to follow the path of
evil. Primarily this will be for those that have always followed evil, but
is also here for those clerics that decide that good is not so good for some reason. Perhaps they feel wronged or betrayed by their deity in some
fashion, and choose evil in anger or spite. Whatever the reason they choose
this path, their strength in the darker arts of divinity will increase. Acolytes retain some weak healing spells, and some minor enhancements, but their true strength lies not in making themselves stronger, but in making
their enemies weaker. Acolytes receive a number of spells which are
designed to weaken, sicken, and slow down their enemies so that they will be
easier to defeat. They also receive a wider range of dark and unholy attack
spells with which to grind their enemies to dust. Acolytes are given no
handicap on bladed weapons, and also retain their prowess in bludgeoning weapons, able to use either to greater effect than they could as normal clerics.
