Priest of Helm (Cleric Kit)

Followers of the neutral god of watchers and protectors. They 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 (1 use at 1st level).
  • May cast Seeking Sword once per day every 10 levels (1 use at 1st level):
    • Creates a sword in the Cleric's hand that cannot be dropped or unequipped.
    • The sword is considered a +4 weapon for hit-determination purposes (no bonus to attack/damage rolls), and deals 2d4 damage on hit.
    • Sets the Cleric's number of attacks to 3 per round.
    • Lasts 1 round per level of the caster.
    • While equipped, the wielder cannot cast further spells.

When to pick it

  • Strong utility (True Sight reveals invisible and illusion-based foes) plus a high-damage emergency weapon.
  • Seeking Sword turns the Cleric into a temporary blender — but locks out further casting for its duration.
