Players guide to Olindian Faith

i.e. stuff you need to know if you are a lawful cleric!

Olindian Cleric Paths

All clerics of this faith have the option to choose these domains, according to their Alignments:

Evil, Good, and/or Law

All Olindian Clerics must choose a path from the following list and may make their domain choices from the previous list and those offered by their path. Each path must be walked with great care. Each path has a specific ethos, and in so serving that ethos, the cleric attains faith points. Guidelines for attaining faith points are specific to each path.

Upon reaching sufficient level, faith and other prerequisites, the cleric may but is not required to, apply to a specific patronage. These patronages will further specify the scope of the characters ethos, as well ad give him or her more tools to further it. The stakes become higher as the ramifications for faithlessness are increased. (it becomes easier to loose ones faith). Each patronage is associated with a specific angel, who is tasked to a more specific archetype within the chosen path. If a patronage is chosen; the character immediately gains the power granted by the angel and is allowed to change one of his domains to the domains in the angels list. A petitioning cleric must change one of his domains if neither of his appears on the patrons list. The Cleric is now subject to all the restrictions set by his path as well as his angel. This patronage maybe denied once at great penalty, but never changed, with one exception. If one is called by Aesiaen’s they may accept and forever switch patrons, without penalty. The cleric is freed of his former duties and granted powers, and acquires the new ones.
