Cleric is a default base class with Arelith specific changes.

Introduction

Arelith Clerics enjoy many changes that benefit their spellcasting and summons. The #Path: Healer is focused on protection and healing. Mechanical changes are included in the #Class Mechanics on this page and explained in the #Arelith Changes section. Base mechanics can be found on NWNWiki. The #Roleplay Tips section provides suggestions for character development.

Class Mechanics

Requirements

Alignment restrictions: None

Spellcasting: Requires a Deity, alignment within the deity's worshipers' alignments and Piety to cast spells greater than circle 6. Selection of Domains is mechanically enforced and it is encouraged that your selections domains are close to the dogma of the worshiped Deity. Domains are quite customized on Arelith and it is worth reviewing them prior to in game domain selection as they offer a range of extended powers and abilities. For the list of associated domains and banned domains for each deity, see the Deity Table.

Class Features

Class Skills: concentration, craft mastery, heal, intimidate, leadership, lore, ride, sail, spellcraft

Unavailable feats: weapon specialization

Base attack bonus: +3/4 level

Spellcasting: Divine (spell failure from armor is ignored), wisdom-based (a base wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level is required to cast a spell, bonus spells are based on modified wisdom, and the wisdom modifier affects spell DCs), and requires preparation

Summon Stream: Mummy

Arelith Changes

Change	Level	Description
Bonus Language	-	Celestial if Good. Infernal if Lawful Evil. Abyssal if Chaotic Evil or Neutral Evil.
Summoning Changes	-	For specifics, read Summoning Changes which details how summons are changed on Arelith and Summons which details each specific summon stream and what is summoned at each tier of the stream.
Spell changes	-	For specifics, see Category:Cleric_Spells.
Spellbook	-	Can save and load Spellbooks through the Crafting Skills menu. Right-click menu: Special Abilities > Crafting Skills > Choose "Spellbooks" from the menu.
Spellcasting Costs	-	Requires Piety to cast spells greater than level 6. Level 7 spells cost -1%. Level 8 spells cost -2%. Level 9 spells cost -4%. Epic spells cost -5%
Raise Dead & Resurrection	-	Casting them (even from scrolls) usually costs 50% and 75% of Piety, respectively, but is reduced by a flat 25% for Clerics. This becomes 25% for Raise Dead and 50% for Resurrection.
Chosen Deity	-	Clerics, Paladins and Druids must be one of the cleric alignments of that deity. See Chosen Deity to read more.
Piety	-	Clerics gain total piety per tick, based on cleric level: 1-8 = 0.1%; 9-27 = 0.2%; 28-30 = 0.3%. Other classes do not have this innate piety gain. The default piety tick is -0.1% so the net total from levels 1-8 Clerics will not lose piety, then gain 0.1% 9-27, and 0.2% from 28-30.
Class skills	-	Clerics on Arelith gain access to Intimidate, Ride and Sail as class skills. Clerics on Arelith lose access to Parry as a class skill.
Turn Undead	-	This feat has been heavily modified on Arelith, read more about it here.
Domains	-	Domains on Arelith are very customized, more information can be found here.
Path Feat	3rd	A Cleric must select a Path (see below) which includes Cleric Path (conventional Cleric) at this level.

Cleric Path Feats

• Paths are chosen at level 3 Cleric

• Cleric gains a bonus feat at level 3 specifically just for paths alone and nothing else.
• Favored Soul levels count towards Cleric path progression
• 2/3 Cleric levels count towards Favored Soul CL (not vice versa)
• All Cleric paths can gain more weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies via feats or multiclass.

Note: The exception to this rule is the #Healer Path with weapon proficiencies where they can not gain weapon proficiencies beyond simple.

• All caster paths do not suffer from spell failure if equipped with heavier armor.

• Spell Refunds

• Refund chances from the paths will apply to applicable spells from both the Favored Soul and the Cleric spellbooks.

Note: See each path for specific details on how spell refunds works for that path.

• Chance based on Spell Level is 10% less for every spell level starting at 90%:

Level 1: 80%

Level 2: 70%

Level 3: 60%

Level 4: 50%

Level 5: 40%

Level 6: 30%

Level 7: 20%

Level 8: 10%

Level 9: 0%

Note: Meta magic will lower the refund chances proportional to the spell level increase.

• Path Abilities

• Respite: Gains access to the epic -respite spell. Respite creates a 4.0m area of effect on the ground that lasts for 9 seconds. All creatures (including enemies) within the area of effect become immune to all forms of crowd control (except Time Stop) and cannot be reduced to less than one hit point. On expiration of the zone, all allies within the area of effect are healed for 150 hit points.
• Overheal: Convert excess healing into temporary hit points. The hit point bonus lasts for a period of three rounds and the duration is refreshed on further applications of Overheal.

• Regenerate refreshes and stacks the Overheal hit point bonus, while Monstrous Regeneration does not.

Path of the Cleric

These are the clerics that travel among the people and carry their faith with them to spread their deities' wills through their actions and sharing their divine magics. This is the default cleric path.

Special: None

• For the duration of Divine Power:

• Receives Full BAB progression (Soft AB), including gaining APR (up to 4 APR)
• Gains 1 Temporary HP per caster level
• Strength or Dexterity (Soft) is increased to 18 or by 2, whichever results in a higher score.

• Raises whichever has the highest base, Strength takes priority over Dexterity if base scores are equal.

Path of the Cloistered

Cloistered clerics spend more time than other clerics in study and prayer and less in martial training. They give up a cleric's usual combat prowess for a better understanding of the divines and their powers. The time spent in reflection also allows them to take up many crafts as hobbies and ways to fund their missions.

Weapon Proficiency: Simple

Armor Proficiency: Light

Special:

• If shield proficiency is gained by another class, Wielding shield larger than Small Shield will incur a Spell Failure chance penalty
• Can spontaneously cast Domain spells up to 4th level.
• Extra +1 Skill Point per Cleric level
• +1 DC to all Domain spells

• Increases to +2 DC at level 21

• Duration lasts 10x as long (1 turn/level) and can be extended to a total of 20x as long (2 turns/level)
• Intelligence (Soft) is increased to 18 or by 2, whichever results in a higher score.
• All Domain spells cast from the spell book have a chance to refund upon being cast.

• For Favored Soul to refund their spells, the spells in the Favored Soul spell book must match the Domain spells.

• Level 1 - 3 Spells: 80% refund chance (100% w/ Div Favor)
• Level 4 - 6 Spells: 50% refund chance (70% w/ Div Favor)
• Level 7 Spells: 30% (50% w/ Div Favor)
• Level 8 Spells: 15% (35% w/ Div Favor)
• Level 9 Spells: 5% (25% w/ Div Favor)

Path of the Defiler

Clerics who crave power through corruption and enslavement often embrace the path of the Defiler, making it their purpose to bring ruin and suffering to the realms at the behest of their dark patrons.

Weapon Proficiency: Simple

Armor Proficiency: Shield, Light, and Medium Armor

Special:

• Weapon proficiencies are limited to simple even if multi-classed into other classes.
• Can use up to Large Shield without inducing Spell Failure
• Spontaneously cast Circle of Doom, Destruction and Harm (does not trigger refund)
• Bigger area of effect for Circle of Death and Circle of Doom; spell radius that scales with Caster Levels
• Monk wisdom to AC reduced to 2/3
• Healing spells are decreased to 66% effectiveness.

• Example: A 100 HP heal spell will be reduced to a 66 HP heal.

• Inflict Line of Spells, Harm, and Circle of Doom damage type adjusted:

• (5 + effective cleric level) percent of the Negative Damage is converted to Entropy damage
• Note: Effective Cleric Level meant: Cleric, Harper/Zhent Priest, and Favored Soul levels (all 1:1)
• The life steal from Entropy Damage is 50% and will still apply overheal to the Defiler or overflow to its nearby allies
• The remaining Negative Damage can still life steal at half the rate if the Defiler also has Suffering Domain
• Example:

• A level 27 Defiler w/ Death & Suffering Domains casts Harm
• 324 * (5 + 27)% = 103 Entropy Damage (rounded down)
• 324 - 103 = 221 Negative Damage

Path of the Evangelist

Path of the Healer

Path of the Seeker

Heresy and vice, relic and treasure, secrets and sins - Seekers use their prodigious powers of investigation and skulduggery to identify these wherever the dictates of their faith require. Frequently found far from their mother Church, a scant few Seekers operate inside their own ranks, rooting out whatever actions are considered abominable to their faith.

Path of the Warpriest

Warpriests take up the causes and dogmas of their deity as an act of war to wage. They slay the infidels and blasphemers, bringing (un)holy justice and vengeance to those who would oppose their faith. Warpriests are fierce, earthy clerics who pray for peace but prepare for war. Their focus upon battle usually leaves them stumbling when it comes to matters of ritual and spell.

• If multiclassed to Barbarian, 1/3 Cleric levels count towards Rage AB/Damage progression and Dodge AC when not wearing Heavy Armor.
• If multiclassed to Monk, 2/3 cleric levels count towards Whirlwind and Ki Strike progression, thus enabling Improved Ki Strike 4 to be taken as an Epic Feat (Ki Strike 3 at 21 levels of Cleric, assuming having multiclassed 3 levels of Monk)
• +1 Full Caster Level at 16+ effective Cleric levels
