<p>Importing CrawlWiki content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{obsolete}}<br /> &#039;&#039;This article is about the obsolete player background. For information on monster priests, see their specific articles.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Priests&#039;&#039;&#039; are religious devotees of [[Zin]], the ancient and revered God of Law. [[Hill Orc]] Priests instead serve the Orc god [[Beogh]]. All Priests have some training in combat skills, but their main power comes from the [[Invocations]] granted by their god.<br /> <br /> Priests start with 45 [[piety]]. <br /> <br /> ==Racial Restrictions==<br /> [[Demigod]]s, [[Mummies]], [[Demonspawn]], [[Ghoul]]s, and [[Vampire]]s cannot be Priests. [[Hill Orc]] Priests serve [[Beogh]] instead of Zin.<br /> <br /> ==Starting Equipment==<br /> Most species receive the following, though some [[species]] may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.<br /> *+0 [[quarterstaff]]<br /> *+0 [[robe]]<br /> *[[Bread ration]]<br /> *20 [[gold]]<br /> <br /> Hill Orc Priests instead receive:<br /> *+0 orcish [[hand axe]]<br /> *+0 orcish [[robe]]<br /> *[[Meat ration]]<br /> *20 [[gold]]<br /> <br /> ==Starting Skills==<br /> These are adjusted by your species&#039; [[aptitude]]s.<br /> *[[Fighting]]: 2<br /> *Chosen Weapon&#039;s Skill: 3<br /> *[[Dodging]]: 1<br /> *[[Invocations]]: 5<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> Like [[Monk]]s, Priests start with worse gear and weapons, but have a head start with their god. Recommended species include [[High Elf]], [[Minotaur]], and [[Hill Orc]] which are strong in the early dungeon. As with all religious classes, it is not mandatory to play a Priest to worship Zin / Beogh, but priests start with Invocations skill, and start gaining piety earlier.<br /> <br /> Unlike in certain other RPGs, priests are not restricted in their choice of equipment - though [[Beogh]] boosts the power of [[racial equipment|orcish equipment]]. Priest&#039;s powers are not tied to healing or buffing, either. However, they &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; bound to the behavior restrictions laid down by their chosen god (at least if they want to avoid [[divine retribution]]).<br /> <br /> [[Zin]] does not inflict wrath on abandonment, unless you switch to an evil or chaotic god ([[Makhleb]], [[Lugonu]], [[Kiku]], [[Yred]], [[Jiyva]], [[Xom]]). Some priests may find it reasonable to switch to another god, using their background for the quarter staff and Invocations skill.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *The Priest background was removed in [[0.13]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Obsolete_backgrounds]]<br /> [[Category:Backgrounds]]</div>
