Clerics are masters of divine magic, which makes them especially good at healing and destroying undead creatures. An experienced cleric can even bring allies back from the dead. Clerics are also adept in the use of simple weapons and armor, since armor doesn't interfere with divine spells the way it does with arcane magic.

The handicraft of the gods is everywhere: in places of natural beauty, in mighty crusades, in soaring temples, and in the hearts of worshippers. The gods, however, mostly work through their intermediaries: their clerics. A cleric uses the power of her god to make the god's will manifest, which means clerics can be relied on to heal, protect, and avenge.
