Notes

Cleric

You are devoted to a god, and your god has smiled on your faith and loyalty, granting you the capacity to work miracles. Your class abilities tend to focus on healing and helping, but the power of your god is great, and so you also gain real power to alter the course of events, whether through those you support, or directly and personally. Your motivations are your own, but likely there are congruencies with your god's purposes as well, which is why you are a loyal worshiper.

Role: Clerics play many roles in society. Some provide for the spiritual needs of their people, serving as ministers, missionaries, or monastics. Some clerics seek converts and congregations, others accept only a very few worthy disciples, or none. As a cleric, you can choose how best to honor your god, within a few limitations. As an adventuring cleric, you may act as a medic and support for your team, or as a formidable combatant, or as a leader who speaks for the party when dealing with the larger world.

Restrictions: Your alignment must be within one step of your god's, along either the law/chaos axis or the good/evil axis. You select two of your god's domains (see below), and you must follow the ethos of your god. You may only honor one god, and no others (though you can tolerate or even ally with followers of other gods, especially if their gods are aligned with yours). If you find your alignment drifting, or if the restrictions of your ethos are too onerous, you and your game master should have a conversation about meeting these restrictions -- or about changing domains, gods, or even changing class.

Skill Proficiencies

The cleric's proficient skills (and the ability scores used to boost each skill) are Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Chr), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Religion, History) (Int), Language (Abyssal, Axiom, Celestial, Infernal, Protean) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Ranks per Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies

You are proficient with simple weapons from the Hammers, Flails, and Close weapon groups (see the rules for weapon groups in Weapons and Armor). You are also proficient with martial weapons from one of these three groups, your choice. You are not proficient with exotic weapons. You are proficient with light armor, medium armor, bucklers, light shields, and heavy shields. Some clerics learn to use the favored weapon of their god (see below).

Spells and Spell Casting

At first level your caster level is one, and you can cast divine spells, which are drawn from the divine spell list presented in Spell Lists. As with all characters, you follow the general magic rules for spell slots per day, based on your caster level, which advances by one caster level every time you gain a cleric level. As a priest, charisma is your spell casting ability score.

KNOWN SPELLS LIST: Each time you gain a caster level, you learn two new spells. Because you are a priest, you may choose to pick spells from the divine spell list. The level of the spell cannot exceed your new cleric level.

SAVING THROWS: A saving throw against one of your spells has a difficulty class (DC) of 9 + 1/2 spell slot used + your Casting Ability Score modifier. Certain feats and class abilities can modify your save DCs. Example: an Cha 18 cleric casting a 1st level spell with a 4th level slot has a DC for that spell of 9 +4 +2 = 15. The +2 comes from the 4th level slot used; the level of the spell itself is not relevant.

DOMAINS: Your god acts with special power and authority within certain spheres of influence, or "domains." When you first become a cleric, you commit to your god and choose two domains from among those governed by your god. Some domains also have a prerequisite that you must meet. Each domain grants a number of signature domain powers, granted at levels 1, 6, 11, and 16. Each time you gain a signature power, you pick one of the two available to you through your two domains. At higher levels, you may also select a lower tier ability if you prefer. Your domains also offer you bonus feats available to you at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.

Unless otherwise noted, using a domain power is a standard action and uses your character level as the caster level and for various effects. Exception: cantrips given as domain powers use the rules for cantrips. Many domain powers are spell-like abilities; these always use the appropriate Charisma modifier (odd at Tyro and Hero tiers, even at Adventurer and Legend tiers), as well as your character level as the caster level. The saving throw for domain SLAs, if not otherwise specified, is 9 + half your character level + your odd (for Tyro and Hero tier) or even (for Adventurer or Legend tier) Charisma modifier. Cleric domains are listed at the bottom of this page.
