Shaman
Cleric Category
Shamans are a class of spiritual missionaries. Representing less organized sects than their formalized counterparts the Priests, Shamanic
religions tend to worship a pantheon rather than a single Power. Shamans
venture into unknown lands, fighting against anything that is offensive to
the Powers they serve. They prefer being armed only with a mace and a shield,
although they are also skilled in combat with flails, nunchaku, polearms,
staves, whips, and yo-yos.
Because they command the favor of their Powers, Shamans have the ability to
call down holy (or unholy) energies to empower themselves. Using mystic
rites and symbols, they can envelop enemies in pillars of flame, exorcise
demons, protect themselves and their brethren, or perform simple tasks
such as creating food and water.
In addition to defending their faith, Shamans journey around the world in
search of wisdom and enlightenment. Because Shamans come from many
different races, their beliefs vary widely, and in fact they are often
completely opposite from one another. The denominations have a long
history of warring with each other, and with various other religious
groups. Young Shamans often wage jihads in Xaventry, a town located on
the continent of Sepharia, as many other religions are centered there.
