Priest of Helm (Cleric Kit)

Followers of the neutral god of watchers and protectors are warriors in their own right and are often seen as defenders of the innocent.

Advantages

  • May cast True Sight once per day every 5 levels (starts at 1st level with one use).
  • May cast Seeking Sword once per day every 10 levels (starts at 1st level with one use):
    • Creates an unremovable sword in the Cleric's hand for 1 round per caster level.
    • The blade is +4 for "what it can hit" (the bonus does not apply to attack/damage rolls).
    • 2d4 damage per hit; sets the Cleric's number of attacks to 3 per round.
    • The wielder cannot cast further spells while equipped.

Disadvantages

  • Alignment restricted to neutral.

When to pick it

  • True Sight is a constant utility against illusion-heavy encounters; the kit's free castings remove memorisation strain.
  • Seeking Sword turns a generally weak melee Cleric into an emergency frontline brawler.
