Divine Power, Mortal Will: Why Play a Cleric in D&D
Do you want to wield the might of the gods and bring both healing and wrath in equal measure? Then step into the light (or shadow) as a Cleric. As a divine conduit, you can mend broken bodies, smite undead with radiant fury, or call down storms in your deity’s name. Far more than just a healer, a Cleric is a warrior-priest, a spiritual guide, and a powerful spellcaster with unshakable purpose. Whether you're a battle-hardened war priest or a calm protector of peace, the divine flows through you—and the world will feel it.
