THE CLERIC.
Praying your way through the world!
“This class of character bears a certain resemblance to religious orders of knighthood of medieval times. The cleric is dedicated to a deity, or deities, and at the same time a skilled combatant at arms.
All clerics have certain holy symbols which aid them and give power to their spells. All clerics have their own spells, bestowed upon them by their deity for correct and diligent prayers and deeds.” - Gary Gygax.
