Ur - priest While the vast majority of divine spellcasters gain their powers from a deity , there are some who despise the gods . The ur - priests have learned to siphon off the divine or unholy energies granted by gods to their divine spellcasters , using it for their own needs without giving even lip - service to any god . Background . Ur - priests , while rare , come from all walks of life , as there is no spellcasting requirement for this class . Some of the deadliest , however , are ex - cleric s who , for whatever reason , have decided to forswear their deity to gain earthly power . Whereas clerics , paladin s , and the like pray for their spells each day at a chosen time , ur - priests go into a meditative state not unlike the elven resting trance . In this state , they mentally steal the power gods channel to their spellcasters . Of necessity they are cunning and stealthy , never stealing too much from any single deity , but instead slipping in , drawing out power , and slipping back out . They become highly resilient to divine spells and creative with the energies they steal . The main strategic disadvantage of this is a limitation on their versatility : they do not have the capability to cast domain spells , spontaneously cast " cure " or " inflict wounds " spells , or gain domain powers . Ur - priests rarely congregate , which is largely due to the fact that any gathering could attract unwanted and possibly lethal attention from the gods . They are frequently solitary , in fact , though they often find partnerships with other classes useful . And for obvious reasons , they rarely associate with other divine spellcasters , who see them as abominations of the highest order . Atypical Ur - Priests . This article is mainly about the ur - priest that seeks to gain earthly power by siphoning off the power of the gods . But there is another type : the ex - cleric of a dead god . In this case their deity died , disappeared , or faded from lack of worship ; the ur - priest siphons power to keep his divine powers working while he tries to resurrect his god , or elevate a new deity to replace it . Fate . Though not much is known about the ur - priests , it is a surety that siphoning the power the gods grant to their servants is a sin beyond reckoning ; the ur - priests likely face the fate of the Faithless when they reach Kelemvor ' s domain following their death .

Powers .
