PRIEST
The priest class is for those good clerics that choose the path of defeating
evil over promoting good. While they retain their healing and curing
spells, and their shielding and protection spells, the greater part of their
arsenal lies in more numerous attack spells. Their shielding and protection
spells are more combat oriented rather than benign stat increases, and their handicap on bladed weapons is reduced greatly so that they may have a larger arsenal with which to battle evil, though they will still not handle weapons
as deftly as a warrior might. These people are holy warriors much like
paladins are, but while paladins rely on heavy combat skills and clerical magic to support them, priests must rely more heavily upon their spells,
using weapons to support them. Priests will gain combat bonuses when
fighting creatures of more evil alignments, and will do much more damage to undead creatures. They also gain the ability to turn undead entirely, possibly outright killing them if the priest is strong enough, and the undead weak enough.
