Old Cleric
This page pertains to an older version of cleric or the devotional cleric, which was replaced by the current Priest and Paladin
The clerics of Moral Decay are those who have dedicated themselves to the worship of their Pantheon. They may be healers or holy warriors, and some Gods require that their followers shun the use of bladed weapons. They do not, however, have such restrictions on armour. Clerics have the ability to call upon their god’s power using prayers; however, each god will grant certain prayers to their followers, so the cleric’s devotion to an individual god is an important factor in their power.
Noteworthy Clerics include: Malal, Arjuno, Goliath, Karnos, and Funk.
As a cleric you have to pick a certain god, to be your main and then you have a choice on if you want more gods and then if so who you would like to pick as your secondary (or secondaries, with the maximum being only three gods), see Pantheon)
Pros:
-high survivability (due to no armour restrictions, bless, protection and other prayers)
-high potential for damage at all levels
-very good party members
-good against necromancers/undeads (dependant on gods picked)
-good set of prayers/skills that evolve (usually) as you get stronger
Cons:
-very stressful
-costly (due to alcohol/weapons/armours)
-inability to idle in any way once started
-restrictions on some enemies (dependant on gods picked)
-restrictions on some weapons (dependant on gods picked)
-requirements for some prayers can be high
Tips:
-always drink the strongest alcohol you can (while blessed)
-always drink right after you cast bless on yourself
-never drink right before your bless ends
