KNIGHTS OF CROM

An Age Of Conan Hyborian Adventures Guild

Priest Archetype
 Priests in Age of Conan are a step beyond the stereotype of a vulnerable healer - they can call forth the power of their deities to smite and expose their enemies whilst protecting and aiding their allies! Whilst the priest is certainly the cornerstone of a good team in that they provide the vital restoration skills required to keep their allies standing in battle, they are so much more than that as well. Priests draw on the strength of their faith and their abilities are derived from the power of their respective deities. Each god provides unique aspects to their followers, from the lethal poisons of the snake god Set to the elemental powers of nature itself harnessed by the Stormcaller. The priests of Hyboria can be broadly split between those that follow the shamanic path and those that dedicate themselves as high priests of a deity. Trusting in their respective deities to preserve their lives priests largely wear light armor, and need to avoid direct melee confrontation wherever possible.

Priest of Mitra:
 With powerful healing abilities and dedicated to Mitra, these priests are able to call upon the power of Mitra to throw back those that would confront them, keeping the Priest safe from harm. Race: Only Aquillonian and Cimmerian priests may follow Mitra Specialties: Healer, one handed blunt weapons, repulse area of effect ability.

Scourge of Derketo:
 Another excellent healer, the Scourge is dedicated to the god Derketo, calling on the gods power to bring the woes of fire and brimstone to their enemy. These attacks focus on area-of-effect damage spells Race: Only Aquillonian and Stygian priests may follow Derketo. Specialties: Healer, two-handed blunt weapons, area of effect damage .

 Scion of Set :
Dedicated to the god Set, in addition to their excellent healing power the Scion of Set has been blessed by the snake god with the ability to inflict damaging poisons upon their enemies. With the ability to take a lethal snake form the Scion is not a foe to be underestimated. When they are faced with the enemy they prefer to wield their sacrificial and ceremonial daggers Race: Only Stygian priests may worship Set. Specialties: Healer, dagger, poison.

 Druid:
 Rather then following one particular deity the Druid is at one with the power of nature. The Druid can call upon swarms of bees and hornets to kill enemies, and has natural healing remedies and abilities to keep their allies standing in battle. Race: Any race may become a druid. Specialties: Healer, damage over time abilities.

Bear Shaman:
 This type of shaman has a powerful mystical kinship with bears and is able to call upon and be infused with the strength of a bear, and even become a bear themselves, providing great melee prowess. While still having good restorative abilities, the Bear Shaman prefers to rend and maul the enemy. The Bear Shaman is also the only priest class that is able to wear medium armor. Race: Only Aquillonian and Stygian priests may be bear Shaman. Specialties: Healer, two-handed blunt weapons.

Stormcaller :
Masterfully in touch with the elements themselves, this shaman can control and call upon the power of weather to hinder and attack their foes, calling down lightning and creating storms. Like their fellow shaman their knowledge of restorative remedies and abilities is not to be underestimated. Race: Only Cimmerian priests may become Stormcallers. Specialties: Healer, electrical damage, summon storms and hurricanes.
