Priest of Lathander (Cleric Kit)

Lathander is the good god of renewal, creativity, and youth — celebrated nearly everywhere. His followers are very popular throughout the Realms, with numerous wealthy temples devoted to him.

Advantages

  • May cast Hold Undead once per day every 5 levels of the caster (1 use at 1st level).
  • May cast Boon of Lathander every 10 levels of the caster (1 use at 1st level):
    • Lasts 6 seconds per level of the caster.
    • Grants the recipient +1 to-hit and damage, +1 to all saving throws, and +1 extra attack per round.
    • Protects the recipient from level drain.

When to pick it

  • Boon of Lathander is one of the strongest single-target buffs available — extra attacks, all saves, and level-drain immunity.
  • Hold Undead is a useful crowd-control against skeletons, zombies, and (later) wights/wraiths.
