-<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Spells:</font></b>";</php> A cleric casts divine spells which are drawn from the cleric spell list presented in the Player’s Handbook.  Her alignment, however, may restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to her moral or ethical beliefs; the cleric cannot cast any spell with an alignment descriptor opposite to her own or her deity’s (if she has one).  A cleric must choose and prepare her spells in advance. To prepare or cast a spell, a cleric must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level.  The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a cleric’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the cleric’s Wisdom modifier. Like other spellcasters, a cleric can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day.  Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table above.  In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score (see page 8 of the //Player’s Handbook//). Clerics meditate or pray for their spells.  Each cleric must choose a time when she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells.  A cleric may prepare and cast any spell on the cleric spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

-<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Spontaneous Casting:</font></b>";</php> A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time.  The cleric can consume any prepared spell that is not an orison or domain spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name). An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) can’t convert prepared spells to cure spells but can convert them to inflict spells (an inflict spell is one with “inflict” in its name). A cleric who is neither good nor evil and whose deity is neither good nor evil can convert spells to either cure spells or inflict spells (player’s choice).  Once the player makes this choice, it cannot be reversed.  This choice also determines whether the cleric channels positive or negative energy (see Channel Energy).

If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects two domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval).  The restriction on alignment domains still applies.

Your cleric gets the granted powers of both the domains selected. With access to two domain spells at a given spell level, a cleric prepares one or the other each day in his domain spell slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in her domain spell slot. Domain spells and granted powers are shown on the [[:domains|Domains]] page of the wiki.

A cleric who channels positive energy can turn or destroy undead creatures. A cleric who channels negative energy instead rebukes or commands such creatures, forcing them to cower in awe of her power.

 === Ex-Clerics ===
 A cleric who grossly violates the code of conduct required by her god loses all spells and class features, except for armor and shield proficiencies and proficiency with simple weapons. She cannot thereafter gain levels as a cleric of that god until she atones for her deeds (see the atonement spell description).
+----
+====== Variant: Priest ======
+Unlike her cleric counterparts, the priest chooses to forgo the majority of her martial training, instead focusing her energy on studying ancient lore and religious scripture. While lacking the cleric’s combat prowess, the priest has a greater breadth of knowledge and can empower her prayers with divine energy, allowing her to heal or inflict wounds without having to be on the front lines. The priest has all the standard cleric class features, except as noted below.

+===== Class Abilities =====
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffc671;;inherit>** Words of Divinity (Su):  **</font>    At 1st level, the priest can invoke positive and negative energy through speaking words of divine scripture that she has uncovered through her studies. Whenever the priest casts a //cure// or //inflict// spell with a range of touch, she instead treats the spell as if it had a range of close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels), and is no longer required to make a touch attack in order for the spell to affect her target. All other aspects of the spell remain the same.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffc671;;inherit>** Vestments of Faith (Su):  **</font>    At 1st level, the priest can imbue her cleric’s vestments or other such religious garment (adventuring priests typically choose something more practical) with divine energies, giving it a +4 armor bonus to AC. Doing so requires that the priest spend 1 hour performing a religious ceremony. Once the ceremony is complete, the vestments retain the armor bonus indefinitely until destroyed, or until the priest imbues another such garment, in which the previous garment loses this benefit. This ability does not function on armor or anything that already provides an AC bonus. The AC bonus provided by this ability functions only for the priest. The item can be enhanced with magic normally as if it were armor.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffc671;;inherit>** Scribe Scroll (Ex):  **</font>    At 1st level, a priest gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffc671;;inherit>** Impart Wisdom (Ex):  **</font>    At 3rd level, a priest can assist her allies with words of guidance and instruction. As a move action, the priest can use the aid another action to grant an ally within 30 feet a +2 bonus on their next attack roll, skill check, ability check, caster level check, saving throw, or +2 AC against the next attack made against them. The priest must choose one of these bonuses to apply when using this ability, and the ally must be able to hear and understand the priest to receive the benefit. The bonus lasts for 1 round or until used. For every three levels beyond 3rd, the priest can aid one additional ally. When affecting multiple allies with this ability, all allies receive the same bonus.
