Cleric (DFRPG)

Clerics are divine-powered spellcasters who specialize in damage control, buffing, and supernatural warfare. While they vary widely by deity and culture, adventuring clericsread: PC clerics tend to be decent and passionate folk with a faith only matched by their steely nerves. 
While the cleric seldom decides when combat begins, they are key to determining its ending.
== Key Considerations ==
Theme is everything when designing a cleric.Fan suggestion! The patron deity of a cleric must be both inspiring and appropriate for adventuring. Gods of storms, gods of war, gods who bless with healing and dazzling light, these work well for clerics. You may even have artifice or forge-gods whom help the cleric bless weapons and materials, or even gods of cities and construction who provide literal stepping stones and walls when needed.
== Special Cleric Traits ==
* Holy Might!
** Contingency Casting (cast something you don't know)
** Detect Evil (an old classic, useful for scouting)
** Divine Guidance (works like Intuition, is a little meta)
** Divine Omens (a weird one, used to gain intel)
** Faith Healing (another classic, useful for healing without using 
* Clerics can improve their Will to 25 instead of 20, 
* Clerical Investment -- You're officially a priest. This gives lots of roleplay opportunities, and provides a bonus to reactions from most folks. You can sanctify altars, lead prayers, and get some really good prices for holy water.
* Esoteric Medicine -- You have a Divine M.D. As long as there isn't zero sanctity, you can perform all sorts of medical aid. This includes regular injuries, disease, poison, even treating mortal wounds and heart attacks.if there's none, you have to rely on good-ol First Aid and Surgery skills 
* Exorcism -- Cleansing cursed areas, treating possession, and getting that weird demon smell out...
** CleansingDFRPG: Exploits, p.24 -- If an area is so cursed that it drains the life from those around it.. then it's good they called you! This takes about three hours and requires a Quick Contest between the cleric's Will and the effective Will of the evil force of the area.
** Possession Treatment -- If a person is cursed, you can cleanse them too! This works like cleansing, but sometimes the force uses strength instead of will.
