Cleric: Difference between revisions

|Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the knowledge tag. When you spend time researching in a well-resourced library or religious center, you uncover whatever information you are capable of learning in half the time it would normally take.

|Choose an icon for which you have access. Gain an additional magical ability based on that choice. This ability counts as divine when you cast it.  

* '''Scriptorium''' '''(1/Month).''' Given 24 hours in a well-equipped religious center with a library, you can reselect which divine spells you know.

* '''Iconographer.''' When you finish Taking a Rest, you can duplicate a Divine Icon. Pick a Divine Icon that you know which has a recharge and has the level 1 icon tag. You write a duplicate of that icon. Choose one ally to bond with the Icon. That creature gains one use of that icon and it recharges as normal. You may only create one icon in this way. Using this ability again renders previous icons impotent.

|When you create an Icon using your Iconographer ability, you may now create icons with the level 2 icon tag. The creature can still only use the icon one time until it recharges, unless the Icon’s improved ability adds +1 usage of the Icon, in which case the creature can use it twice before needing to recharge it.

* '''Scrivener (1/Rest).''' When you finish Taking a Rest, you can create a spell scroll out of a prayer or divine spell that you know. This consumes valuable inks and gold leaf - the cost in sc is the spell’s SPC x10, treating a prayer as having an SPC of 1. You also must spend the normal amount of SP as if casting the spell when you scribe it and cannot scribe a spell with an SPC greater than your Divine Power. Once you have scribed a spell onto a scroll, you or any creature that possesses the scroll can cast it by spending the normal APC using your CHA as the magic attribute. The magic fades from the scroll once used or after 24 hours if unused.

|You have grown more skilled at scribing your spell scrolls. It only costs you 1⁄2 the spell’s SPC to scribe it.

|Gain another magical ability off the Apocrypha list for an icon you have access to.

|You can now also reselect which divine prayers you know with your Scriptorium ability.

|You can now also reselect which divine rituals you know with your Scriptorium ability.

|Gain +4 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the observation or knowledge tag.

* '''Apprenticeship (1/Recoup).''' When Recouping, you use your Iconographer ability again on the same creature, replacing their previous Icon with a new one.

|Iconographer now allows you to create two Icons, bonding them to the same creature or different ones. One icon must have the level 1 icon tag, while the other can have the level 2 icon tag.

Apprenticeship only works on one creature each time you Recoup.

|Both Icons created by your Iconographer ability can have the level 2 icon tag. If you have bonded two creatures, they can trade or give one another the Icons at will by physically handing one another the separate Icons.

When you use Apprenticeship, both creatures can benefit from the ability.

|Gain the Sola Scriptura ability.

 

* '''Sola Scriptura (1/Recoup).''' When casting a spell from a scroll you have scribed, you can ignore all other Gesture, Verbal, and Visual requirements.

|Thanks to careful gilding and embossing techniques, your Scrivener ability now costs sc equal to the spell’s SPC x5.

|By spending the necessary SP and material costs, you can now scribe two scrolls with Scrivener.

|Gain the Illuminated Manuscript ability.

 

* '''Illuminated Manuscript (1/Week).''' When in a well- equipped religious center or library you can spend 1 hour to make one additional scroll or icon.

|You can now also reselect which Cleric talents you know with your Scriptorium ability.

|''Repeatable.'' Gain another magical ability off the Apocrypha list for an icon you have access to.

|Your Iconographer ability allows you to create three Icons now, none of which can be stronger than an Icon with the level 2 icon tag. You can bond them all to one creature, to two creatures, or to three creatures. Any bonded creatures can trade or give their icons to other bonded creatures at any point by physically handing them the Icon.

|You are revered as a legendary scholarly theologian who writes excellent icons that tell compelling stories deeply wrought with spiritual significance. Your work decorates many houses of prayer and many pious nobles proudly display your Icons in their homes.

Gain +4 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the observation or knowledge tag.

 

* '''Iconic Covenant.''' If you create the same Icon every day for 1 month, then the icon becomes permanent. Permanent Icons are uncommon magical items that cost 10 Essence Points. You cannot prevent a creature that possesses one of your permanent icons from bonding to it and gaining its benefits. You can only create one permanent Icon per year.

* '''''Level 30:''''' You can now create three permanent Icons per year.

|Gain +4 Skill Points that you can spend on any skills with the observation or knowledge tag.

|You are renowned as a tremendous scrivener who creates beautiful illuminated manuscripts and is deeply knowledgeable in religious matters. Your texts are often used in liturgical ceremonies throughout the land.

Your Scrivener scrolls last for 48 hours before losing magic.

* '''Holy Lectionary''' '''(1/Week).''' Create one special scroll, your Holy Lectionary. This scroll can have an SPC equal to or less than your Divine Level x2, and does not lose magical potency for 1 month or until you use this ability again.

* '''''Level 30:''''' Your Holy Lectionary retains its magical potency until you use this ability again. Increase all of your mental defenses by +2.
