Priests act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine. Through magic and prayer they can protect and heal the faithful or curse and wound their foes. As shepherds of souls, Priests also have power over the dead and undying. Their duties are two-fold: to perform their deity's will and to convert other people to their cause. Since the recent Time of Troubles this has only become more important.
In Impiltur, the state religion is that of the Triad - Tyr, Torm and Ilmater. Priests of other deities, particularly the neutral and evil ones in the Human pantheon, face heavy restrictions and monitoring.
WARNING: To cast a spell, a priest must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level. For example, to cast a 2nd-level spell, a priest must have a Wisdom of 12.
NOTE: A priest's alignment must be the same as or one step removed from the alignment of the priest's deity. A priests's chosen domains must only be selected from those granted by the priest's deity. Please refer to the Deities page for a list of deities and their corresponding domains and alignment.

Prestige Routes[]
This assumes the character has only a single class to meet the requirements and is non-human before taking the prestige class (PrC). Human characters will have greater flexibility in regards to feat progression due to the extra feat granted at character creation by their racial bonus, Quick to Master. Some class routes to prestige may also favour multi-classing in order to more effectively meet pre-requisites or to better synergise the character's skill set to suit the PrC, however caution is advised as most PrCs have strict skill requirements (meeting the unmodified rank, not a modified rank) and the wrong combination of classes (due to cross-classing of skills) may result in further delaying and reducing the levels of a prestige class obtainable or render it entirely unobtainable for the character.
| Prestige Class | Minimum Priest Class Level | Maximum Prestige Class Level | Skill | Skill | Feat | Feat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blackguard | 7th Level | 1st Level | 4 ranks in Intimidate at 5th Level | - | Cleave at 1st Level | Great Cleave at 3rd Level |
| Breach Guard | 6th Level | 2nd Level | - | - | Toughness at 1st or 3rd Level | - |
| Harper Scout | 5th Level | 3rd Level | 8 ranks in Diplomacy at 5th Level | 4 ranks in Perform at 5th Level | Iron Will at 1st or 3rd Level | - |
| Spirit Caller | 4th Level | 4th Level | 7 ranks in Concentration at 4th Level | 4 ranks in Sense Motive at 1st Level | Alertness at 1st or 3rd Level | - |
| Triadic Knight | 6th Level | 2nd Level | 8 ranks in Religion at 5th Level | - | Weapon Focus at 3rd Level | - |
