Cleric: Difference between revisions

Clerics in EFU: City of Rings do not receive their ability to cast spells directly from a deity, but rather instead channel their ability to cast divine magic through a specific relic kept within their possession. Most powerful Clerics consider themselves a devoted servant to a particular deity, but their capacity to offer blessings and spells is still fully contingent upon them keeping a relic of that deity or its portfolio. 

Players are advised that while canonical Forgotten Realms religions do exist within the Rings (particularly among those who have recently awoken), the gods of Faerun largely seem distant and unresponsive, and are fast forgotten in favor of new beliefs, codes, and idolatry of different powers. These [[https://wiki.efupw.com/index.php?title=Small_Gods_of_the_City_(Local_Faiths)| Small Gods of the City]] are known to sometimes gift relics to Clerics who have served them well by spreading their message and representing their interests. To reject them and forge another path can be difficult.

Clerics are expected to represent their deity and/or divine beliefs in ways beyond casting the appropriate spells and accessing the domains granted by them. Clerics should uphold some manner of philosophy in their daily activities and evangelize a holy (or unholy) message. It is a matter of best judgement, and creative twists on these priestly duties are always welcome. Nonetheless, if a Cleric strays too far from their role, they may receive a spellcasting failure chance (applied by DMs).

Mechanically, newly created Clerics must select one Primary Domain and one Secondary Domain.
