"A wielder of divine magic who mends wounds and cures various ailments. Keep one in every battle."
Overview
While healing is quite weak in this game, early on you will need a lot of it. Clerics heal best, and are like mages against Undead, since healing damages them. They are the first class able to cast Exorcise, making them essential until you have better options. They have no access to Meditate skill, so compensate by using a Magic Leaf at the start of battle. Expand Mind and Channelling serve as a good alternative MP supply. Later on there are classes and items which offer alternative exorcism methods which render this class completely obsolete, like the craftable Staff of Purification which has 3 castings of Exorcise. Many players choose to abandon Cleric even earlier, getting by with casting from Exorcise scrolls instead. Banish scrolls from Palace of the Dead shops are 300 goth cheaper, in fact.
Can be Used by: Human, Winged
How to Unlock: Cleric Classmarks are available from any shop from Chapter 1 onwards
