I'm surprised their isn't a topic on priests yet. I'm a bit disappointed that they're calling then priest instead of clerics. Priest in my mind represent a man in cloth, while a cleric implies a devoted soldier of a church. But hey, a name is a name.

 

But I digress. I'm glad they're basing them of DnD jack of all trades Clerics instead of just making them healers that suck at everything else. I just hoping Priest have the spell varity that clerics had in DnD? Having priest be excellent healers are nice, but hopefully they can do other things like

 

 

The ability to used 'unholy' magic and summon the undead (skills of an dark cleric?).

The ability to buff their physical power with spells (like Divine Power and Rightout Might) and use some divine melee skills (if specialized of course).

They should be also be nuke well with a variety of different spells....if they specialize into nuking.

Being characters that depend on wisdom, they should be less prone to spells that affect the mind (mind control, confusion, etc).

The ability to summon celesial beings at higher leves (from a lesser demon to a deva I guess).

 

So, what's your opinion on this class?

 

Edit: I agree they should have some (minor) differences depending on their God besides their weapon choices. Perhaps something like the domain system in DnD3?

I'm actually fine with them as Priests, though I am curious how much distinction there will be/can be between two different priests presuming different faiths. It'd be interesting to see divine magic from different faiths be significantly different . . . but that's probably asking to much. Perhaps a simple creation of the base effect resources in a grayscale, so that you could more easily apply different thematic colors to represent faiths somehow . . . still that could easily get tacky.

 

Something to think about I suppose.
