DM Entry: Cleric Update

This change has been noted in the Aryathan Jiil Classes and Prestige Classes.pdf and the Aryathan Jiil Campaign Setting.pdf and both uploaded to the google drive.

Cleric

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You are proficient with all simple weapons, and light armor. (This replaces the cleric proficiencies in the Player’s Handbook).

Holy Symbols: A holy symbol is required for turning or rebuking undead, as well as for many of the spells that a cleric casts. For such tasks, the minimum requirement is a wooden holy symbol of your deity. This rather mundane object must be held in hand, dangled from a necklace, or fastened to a shield. In any case, using your holy symbol to turn or rebuke undead, or to use it as a divine focus for a spell you must display it to the target(s).

Presented here are holy symbols of other materials and additional properties. These special properties only apply to turning, rebuking, or spells that have a divine focus (“DF” in the Components entry of the spell). These holy symbols are nonmagical and cannot be used as weapons. A holy symbol should be kept in the best condition for proper use. Once a holy symbol is damaged it reduces its effectiveness (see below). Spells such as wood shape or stone shape may utterly destroy a holy symbol by misshaping them.

Holy symbols can be repaired with Craft checks or spells such as mending or make whole.
