The "iconic" for the Cleric class for Realms of Strife

realmofstrife.com/characters/c…

Clerics spent most of their days on the road, seldom calling any one place home for very long. They are wanderers; following a path of Faith outside the confining walls of churches, temples, or monasteries. However, this does not mean they are rebels or deviants of the faith, for they can go places where the more formal agents of faith cannot. Most Clerics see it as their solemn duty to spread word of their faith far and wide, carrying it with them in whatever adventure, quest or war they get caught up in. Their experiences in this vast and often violent world leaves them tough and combat ready. Clerics are comfortable standing toe to toe with a foe while calling for blessings from the heavens, controlling undead minions, assaulting the enemy with primal forces, or warping their opponents minds. This has garnered them the reputation as Warrior Priests, making them a welcome ally among bands of adventurers and even military battalions, though at a cost of the odd sermon preached on the eve of battle. While their individual messages may vary depending on the culture they hail from or the faith they profess, Clerics believe that if they are to send men to their death, either fighting by their side or striking them down with their own hand, they should send them on well prepared for whatever awaits them in the afterlife.

As Clerics gain more experience on the open road they tend to equip themselves with heavier armor, coming to the realization that sometimes a well made coat of plate mail can turn a blade better than a prayer. Clerics also prefer blunt weapons so that when they are forced to take up arms against a foe, they may yet have a chance to share their faith when that foe lies broken at their feet. While comfortable in a variety of roles, Clerics excel while in the thick of battle, even if they are not actively attacking their foe. This makes them excellent tanks and front line healers, capable of holding the line against insurmountable odds. However, they are not restricted to a support role and are also very adept at casting offensive faith powers while engaged in combat.
