Cleric Spells
Do clerics get random starting spells like a wizard? Or do they have access to all cleric spells like in most fantasy RPGs?
Re: Cleric Spells
I give out spells randomly, but I allow them to swap a spell out at any time if they do some significant service for their deity.
Re: Cleric Spells
RAW is that they only know a subset of spells, the number of which is indicated on pg. 31. I have the player roll randomly on table 5-9 to determine the spells. If a player wants to swap out a spell, then I like to require a quest to prove worthiness. Of course, YMMV.Evil Genius Prime wrote:Do clerics get random starting spells like a wizard?

Re: Cleric Spells
I choose spells for them based on their gods. Sometimes I even give them from Wizard spell list, if it fits the deity.

Re: Cleric Spells
I let them choose what spells the cleric has. It is their character...let them have fun with it! Of course, I also stir them in the 'right' direction and tell them the spells need to fit their god and our DCC campaign setting.

Just remember to keep the level in mind when doing this as a different level would mean you would have a minus (or possibly plus) due to level difference. This is listed on Table 5-8 in the core book as the first asterisk below the table.Evil Genius Prime wrote:That's a cool idea.

"Because the wizard version of the spell (in this case Detect Magic) is a different level, the wizard receives a -2 penalty to spell checks when cast it."
