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, +1 use every 5 levels.
  • May cast Seeking Sword once per day, +1 use every 10 levels.
    • Seeking Sword: Creates an undroppable +4 sword in the Cleric's hand for 1 round per level. Grants +4 THAC0 (no damage bonus) and deals 2d4 damage per hit. Sets the Cleric to 3 attacks per round. No further spells may be cast while the Seeking Sword is equipped.

Disadvantages

  • Alignment restricted to lawful good, lawful neutral, lawful evil, and true neutral.

When to pick it

  • Seeking Sword turns a Cleric into a powerful frontliner mid-combat — 3 attacks per round with a +4 weapon and THAC0 bonus.
  • True Sight on demand is invaluable against illusion-heavy enemies like the Salamanders' Shadowdancers.
