Priest Class

General Gameplay Goals

The overall goal with this class was to create a support class/healer that has a 'button to click' every turn.  My favorite thing to do in MMOs/DnD is heal, and unfortunately this is an option that is often lacking in games.  I like using skills and having choices, but often felt in BG3 that using a spell slot was like using potions in Skyrim or elixers in Final Fantasy -  I hoarded them even though there was no reason too!

All spells the Priest learns are cantrips, and this class utilizes a new resource called Holy Power to cast more powerful spells.  Holy Power is gained by Long Resting or casting spells which generate Holy Power, and is initially capped at 5 and later increases to 10.  You keep Holy Power between fights.  Spells are learned at fixed levels and gain power by learning increased Ranks (Heal, Rank 1 -> Heal, Rank 2 -> etc.), and many scale with Wisdom.

This is a support class!  While the Priest can deal a good amount of damage, it excels at support.  This generally means healing, shielding, fearing enemies or providing allies additional actions instead of directly dealing damage.  Pairs well with the Warrior Class and WoW Pally!

-----------------------------Priest 2. 0 Updates-----------------------------

Priest has some pretty massive changes! Following my latest class mod, WoW Pally I made a 'talent tree' of passives instead of subclasses.  So no more dedicated Shadow or Holy Priest, but there are  Holy/Shadow/Disc talents!

Every other level you will have a choice of 3 passives, generally split between Disc/Holy/Shadow.  The Level 12 passive is still Angelic Form and Shadow Form, but now there is also Apotheosis! Sadly no more cool subclass icons, but you will now get to choose your own path.

Classic Priest will still have an optional file on Nexus, but no more work will be done (maybe some bug fixes if they are really bad).  If you prefer the old version feel free the continue with that!   See Articles for the description.
