Priest

Piety and Divinity
Priests have two skills pertaining to the use of magic: Piety and Divinity.
For details on these, refer to: Magic and Spellcasting.
Priest Weapon Skills
Blessed Maces
- Damage Type: Bludgeoning
- Stat Dependent Damage Optimisation: 90% str / 10% dex
- Default special move: Thunderclap
Only by wielding a "blessed" mace will a priest be able to raise the blessed maces skill; wielding a non-blessed mace will instead raise the maces fighter skill. To bless a mace, a priest simply has to use the first circle Divinity UY (bless weapon) spell. (Note: in order to revert a blessed mace into a regular mace, simply use a cursed scroll of uncurse on it - but this process will not work when performed on house tiles.)
It should also be noted the blessed maces skill is identical to the maces fighter skill except that in the case of blessed maces, you will not be able to use any of the other special moves that a fighter using the maces skill could. More specifically, even if a (dual-classed) priest had 100% in the Polearms skill and 100% in the Longswords skills, that priest would neither be able to execute Bloodbolt nor Flurry respectively.
All Armour Types
Like fighers, priests reap the full benefits of all 4 grades of armour: unarmed, light, medium and heavy.
For details, refer to the All Armour Types Section above.
Light and Medium Armour Movement Penalties
Like fighters, priests do not suffer movement penalties for wearing light or medium armour.
For a complete list of the various light and medium armour available, refer to: Armour Types.
