ClericDS

When a human character has attained 20th level, he must make a choice. He may either continue to advance as a cleric or, in the case of a cleric/psionicist, he can abandon his human form and begin transforming into an elemental. Once the choice had been made, the character can never go back. Nonhuman characters cannot advance past the 20th level.
Those characters who remain human clerics gain an additional level for every 225,000 experience points above 2,700,000. They gain 2 hit points at each level above 20. As each new level is achieved, certain powers are granted:
* A cleric gains major access to the Sphere of the Cosmos at the 21st level.
* A cleric may expand his powers to a paraelemental plane at the 21st level. The paraelemental plane must be connected to the cleric's elemental plane of worship, as noted below.
== insert table ==
Because their knowledge of the planes is less than perfect, Athasian clerics use different terms for some of the paraelemental planes. The terms for the paraelemental planes used in Dragon Kings on pages 55–66 correspond to those used here as follows:
Rain = Ice
Sun = Smoke
Magma = Magma  Silt = Ooze
By expanding his abilities to a paraelemental plane, a cleric may ignore and gate in material from his chosen paraelemental plane as if he were a paraelemental cleric of that sphere. He does not, however, have access to any of the minor powers associated with service to that plane, and he may select only one plane at this level.
* ^Mthin each of the paraelemental planes are quasielemental planes that may be accessed at the 23rd level. The Quasielemental plane must be connected to the cleric's elemental plane of worship, as noted below.
== insert table 2 ==
At the 23rd level, only one quasielemental plane may be chosen. A cleric of good alignment must choose the first quasielemental plane, while an evil cleric must choose the second. A neutral cleric may choose either. The cleric may gate in or ignore material from his chosen Quasielemental plane just as he can for his elemental plane of worship.
* A cleric may expand his powers to the remaining paraelemental plane at the 25th level. A cleric of fire, who chose the powers of the sun at the 21st level, may also access those of magma at the 25th level.
* A cleric who reaches the 27th level may expand his powers to the remaining quasielemental plane.
== Access to Spheres ==
Elemental clerics have major access to their chosen spheres, and minor access to the cosmos. Major access allows the priest to choose spells from the complete list of spells, as long his level is high enough. Minor access allows a cleric to choose only 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level spells from that sphere.
* A cleric gains major access to the Sphere of the Cosmos on attaining the 21st level.
* Only advanced beings, such as cleric-elementals, gain the ability to cast psionic enchantments. An elemental cleric who advances beyond the 20th level, even a psionicist, cannot
== Para elemental claric byond 20th level ==
Paraelemental priests may advance to the 20th level and beyond in the same manner as elemental clerics. Once the 20th level is achieved, human characters must decide whether to continue to advance as clerics or begin the transformation to advanced beings. Once the path is chosen, there is no return.
Those who decide to remain as clerics gain an additional level for every 225,000 experience points above 2,700,000. They gain 2 hit points at each level above the 20th. As each new level is attained, additional powers are awarded.
A cleric gains major access to the Sphere of the Cosmos at the 21st level. A cleric can expand his powers to one of his parent elemental planes at the 21st level. A parent elemental plane is one of the two planes that combine to form the priest's paraelement. A priest of silt, for example, could expand Kis powers to the Elemental Planes of Earth or Water. The cleric may ignore and gate in material from his chosen elemental plane as if he were an elemental cleric of that sphere. Paraelemental clerics do not have access to any of the minor powers associated with service to the chosen elemental plane.
Magma clerics may choose from fire and earth, silt clerics from earth and water, sun clerics from fire and air, and rain clerics from water and air.
A cleric can expand his powers to the remaining elemental plane at the 25th level. Thus a cleric of magma who chose the powers of fire at the 21st level could now choose those of earth.
Clerics who become advanced beings are also granted these powers, but have to spend much of their time traveling the elemental planes of their harsh masters.
== Access to Spheres ==
Paraelemental clerics have major access to their patron sphere, and minor access to the cosmos. Remember that a 21st-level priest also has major access to the spells of the cosmos.

Clerics gain an additional level for every 225,000 experience points above 2,700,000. They gain 2 hp at each level above 20.
A cleric gains major access to the Sphere of the Cosmos at 21st level.
A cleric can expand his powers to a para-elemental plane at 21st level. The para-elemental plane must be connected to his elemental plane of worship:
Elemental Plane	Connected Para-
Elemental Plane
Earth 	Magma and Ooze
Air 	Ice and Smoke
Fire 	Magma and Smoke
Water 	Ice and Ooze
The cleric may ignore and gate material from his chosen para-elemental plane just as he can for his plane of worship.
A cleric can expand his powers to a quasi-elemental plane at 23rd level. The quasi-elemental plane must be connected to his elemental plane of worship:
Elemental Plane	Connected Quasi-
Elemental Plane
Earth 	Minerals and Dust
Air 	Lightning and Vacuum
Fire 	Radiance and Ash
Water 	Steam and Salt
In each case, the first quasi-elemental plane listed is between the elemental plane and the positive material plane, while the second is between the elementa! plane and the negative material plane. A cleric of good alignment must choose the first quasi-elemental plane. An evil cleric must choose the second listed. A neutral cleric can choose either.
The cleric may ignore and gate material from his chosen para-elemental plane just as he can for his plane of worship.
A cleric can expand his powers to the remaining para-elemental plane at 25th level. For example, a cleric who worships the elemental plane of fire can ignore and gate materials from both connected para-elemental planes, magma and smoke, when he reaches this level.
A cleric can expand his powers to the remaining quasi-elemental plane at 27th level. For example, a cleric who worships the elemental plane of fire can ignore and gate materials from both connected quasi-elemental planes, radiance and ash, regardless of alignment. The cleric can master the quasi elements from planes opposed to his alignment.
