Cleric
Clerics have spells bestowed on them by their deity and can fight wearing armor and use crushing (no edged or pointed) weapons. Clerics can cast all priest spells except those from Animal, Plant or Weather spheres and have only minor access to the Elemental sphere, restricting them to Elemental spells of 3rd or lower level. Clerics also have the ability to Turn Undead. The prime requisite for clerics is wisdom with a minimum score of 9 being the only requirement to become a cleric. Priests of specific mythoi are not currently implimented in BG.
In ToB, the Cleric can draw from a high level ability pool which gives the cleric some extra spells.
