Adepts are skilled with all simple weapons.
Adepts are not proficient with any type of armor nor with shields. An adept casts divine spells. She is limited to a certain number of spells of each spell level per day, according to her class level. Like a cleric, an adept may prepare and cast any spell on the adept list, provided she can cast spells of that level. Like a cleric, she prepares her spells ahead of time each day.
