Cleric Name Generator

What role do clerics play in fantasy worlds?

Clerics play an important role in fantasy worlds as religious leaders. They often have a deep understanding of the history and mythology of their world and are able to offer guidance to others. Clerics are usually skilled in diplomacy and can be called upon to resolve conflicts. They may also have access to powerful magic, which they can use to protect their followers or vanquish their enemies.

What kind of magic does a cleric use?

A cleric is a divine spellcaster who channels the power of their deity to cast spells. Clerics can be of any alignment, but most are aligned with the same alignment as their deity. The type of magic a cleric uses is determined by their deity.

Most deities grant clerics access to two of the eight schools of magic: abjuration and divination. These two schools are thematically linked to the portfolio of the deity. For example, a cleric of a war god might have access to the evocation and conjuration schools, while a cleric of a nature goddess would have access to the transmutation and druidic schools.

Clerics also have access to domain spells, which are extra spells granted by their deity that supplement the cleric’s spell list.
