The Illarion Cleric (If and when it finally appears)
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 4:10 pm
I know it is likely to be a good ways off but when and IF the Cleric is ever fleshed out as a character I am wondering which attributes they would need. I realize this is pure speculation but I'd love to hear some opinions from the other players here. I assume that a Cleric would have to have a relatively high intelligence. One would also think that a good amount of willpower would be beneficial. Also a certain amount of essence since the natural role of a Cleric would put them at odds with undead and demons and the like. Clerics in other games are the ones responsible for healing for the most part but these spells are already given to Mages in Illarion.
There is also the possibility of a fighting Cleric. Other games I am familiar with have fighting Monks of one sort or another. These would require strength and agility as well. Of course we are all familiar with Monks who lead a monastic but productive life as crafters or farmers producing everything from beer and wine to almost anything one can think of. There is a monastery just outside Atlanta, Georgia in the US where the monks grow and sell the most beautiful bonsai of all things! So it is possible to perhaps have a Cleric as crafter character?
You can understand why I am curious as to what we will get when our Cleric finally appears in Illarion.
What form will Clerical magic take?
I ask this because if one were to create and RP a Cleric now it would be little more than guesswork as far as attributes go. When the character class is finally unveiled it would really suck to have guessed wrong and placed the attributes incorrectly to take advantage of what the devs come up with.
