Specialty Priests

In the spirit of Faiths and Avatars of 2d Forgotten Realms, effort is being made to adapt the specialty priests of the faiths into archetypes, rather than prestige classes where appropriate.

Druids: Druids are the specialty priests of Chauntea (who refer to her in her primal aspect of Jannath and to themselves as “True Priests”), Rilifane Ralathil, Shiallia and Silvanus. Druids who are specialty priests of one of these gods also gain proficiency in the deity’s favored weapon, and are considered in accordance with their vows when using it, regardless of its construction or weapon type.

Malar also sponsors druids as specialty priests called Talons. The specialty priest of Malar gains proficiency in the claw bracer, and loses proficiency in any sort of ranged weapon; they are forbidden from killing at a distance, and forbidden from killing the young, and will have to atone if they resort to doing either. Also, they lose the Animal Empathy ability, and instead gain the ranger’s Track ability at the same level.

Other deities of nature (those who have Animal, Plant, Weather, terrain domains, or — with a few exceptions — elemental domains) also sponsor druids and grant them prayers, though these druids are not other deities’ orders of specialty priests.

Other specialty priests of other faiths and their archetypes will be outlined on the house archetype list in deity exclusive features.
