he cleric receives his spells as insight directly from his deity as both a sign of and a reward for his faith. Clerics hold the wisdom of the gods, the blessings of their faith, and the healing power of the spirit in the palms of their hands. They tend to the general community as protectors and healers but they are not wholly defensive, being able to seek out enemies, particularly the undead, to destroy them.

Tending towards the defensive, clerics cannot use most sharp-edged weapons and do best with those that are blunt, such as a mace.

Clerics are usually not concerned about their alignment, being anything from evil to neutral to good. However, due to their use of healing spells, clerics will tend to be of good alignment.
