Priest of Tempus (Cleric Kit)

Tempus, also known as the Lord of Battles or the Foehammer, is random in his favors, yet his chaotic nature favors all sides equally. Lord Tempus may be on an army's side one day and against them the next; such is the nature of war. Tempuran clergy can be found on both sides of a conflict, as none can ever truly know whom the war god will favor.

Advantages

  • May cast Holy Power once per day, +1 use every 5 levels.
  • May cast Chaos of Battle once per day, +1 use every 10 levels.
    • Chaos of Battle: Applies random bonuses to all allies and penalties to all enemies within a 60-ft. radius of the caster. Lasts 1 turn. Randomly affects targets' AC, Hit Points, THAC0, saves, or luck. Magnitude starts at 1 (or 5 for Hit Points) at level 1 and improves by 1 (or 5 for Hit Points) every 6 caster levels.

Disadvantages

  • Alignment restricted to chaotic alignments or true neutral.

When to pick it

  • Holy Power turns the Priest into a Fighter with priest spell access mid-battle.
  • Chaos of Battle is a unique party-wide buff/debuff — gambling on the result, but the magnitude is significant at high levels.
