Class - Cleric
The Cleric is a class focused on protecting and healing allies and tending to the deceased. They are usually guided by a deity they follow.
General Info
Multiclass-Restrictions
A Character can only ever be one Class of Cleric, meaning he can't multiclass into two different trees of cleric.
Holy Energy
Holy Energy drives your Cleric Abilities. It fully restores during a full rest.
Deity
Most clerics follow the principles and teachings of a Deity of their choice. This makes it easier for the cleric to understand things related to his deity (increasing skill checks made in context to the deity by +8) and unlocks certain Abilities depending on the Deity. These abilities are usually extremely limited in usability, as they are quite powerful.
If you happen to meet your Deity, your Willpower Modifier will become an Auto-Succeed while in the presence of your Deity.
If you witness the mortal vessel of your Deity faint, your Willpower Modifier will become an Auto-Fail for three days.
Spellcasting
Clerics have a lower spellcasting capability than most other spellcasting classes. Instead of spending Mana to cast spells, they have charges they can consume to cast a spell of a grade equal to the charge. By improving their class level, clerics also increase the number of charges they have. A charge can be used to cast a spell of a lower grade at any point; however, two lower-grade charges can not be combined to cast a higher-grade spell. However, if the spell allows for upcasting, a higher grade charge can be used. Casting spells requires a focus.
Per default, every cleric is skilled in Holy Magic and the School of Magic - Dark. A cleric can choose whether or not they want to become skilled in the Dark Magic, depending on their moral standing.
Cleric Abilities
Every Cleric Abilities requires one available Holy Energy and consumes one. It always requires one Action to use.

Warlock
The Warlock found no purpose in following the deities present on Tael. Instead, he looks beyond the Stars and draws his powers from the Voidlords, usually by making some kind of deal with a Voidspawn. These deals often involve the Voidspawn asking the Warlock to cause Chaos in some form or another, so the Voidspawn can enjoy the show from afar. Every instance of Magic and Celestial Damage they deal will be converted to Chaos Damage. The Cleric Ability "Mircale of Healing" will become "Miracle of Destruction - Deal 1d8 guaranteed Chaos Damage to all Enemies you can see, starting from level 6, the damage will increase by 1d4 every three level"
Additionally, the Warlock will replace his skill in Holy Magic with the School of Magic - Chaos and instead of following a deity from Tael, he must choose a Voidlord to make a deal with.
You can choose to become a Warlock starting from level 1 and at any time onward, however, this decision is not easily reversible, as you would need to regain the trust of a deity, and be prepared for whatever punishment the Voidlord may throw at you.
Feature # | Trait | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Chaotic Nature | Spells of the School of Magic - Chaos are all considered one grade less. |
2 | Spawn call | Call upon the aid of a Voidspawn of your Voidlord, granting you the "Voidlord-born" effect of a Voidspawn for the next minute. One charge, which you will regain after resting for at least 1 hour. |

4 | Seed of Chaos | Everytime you deal Chaos Damage to a target, choose one additional target within 2 meters of the original one. If that target would also be hit by your original hit-check, it will take half of the Damage the original target took, rounded up. This effect will not trigger itself again. If you hit multiple enemies with the original attack, you can activate this effect for each hit. |
