Pacifist Priest

(jberends@eagle.wesleyan.edu)

Ability Requirements: 13 wisdom, 12 intelligence, 14 charisma.
Prime Requisite: Wisdom.
Level Advancement: as Cleric.

Armor Allowed: none.
Weapons Allowed: only lasso and net.
Wrestling is the only form of non-lethal combat that may be used.

Races allowed: all but dwarves and elves (elves, in my current campaign-world,
tend to be good with the view that evil must be destroyed, not converted; and
they tend to believe that violent means are the best).

The priests deity is the goddess of childbirth, mercy, and peace. Characters who
worship her seek to spread peace and non-violence through the world. They must
also grant mercy to all who ask and must give sanctuary or refuge to any fleeing
from some violent authority. Fighting can only be used as a last resort, and
even then only in defense.

Major Sphere: All, Protection, Charm, Creation, Divination, Healing, and
    Elemental.
Minor Sphere: Necromantic, Plant, Animal, and Guardian.

Only non-combat spells may be used. Damage caused that is incidental to the
intended effect is OK, but no spells meant to harm or kill are allowed within
the ethos.

I've added quite a bit more "color" to this character, but that's the bare
bones. If anyone has any responses or suggestions, please let me know. Also, if
anyone would like to see a fuller description of the character, alone with
details of the priesthood etc., let me know and I'll post it or e-mail it to
you. Personally, I think the character should provide for some terriffic
role-playing.
