About this class

Devotees are a dedicated body of clerics who wield divine power through prayer. They watch over their flocks, smite the heretics and bestow boons on their allies. The devotees commune with their deities and act as conduit for their will and their power.
While they are practitioners of divine magic, most of them are in top form. There is more than one way to honor one’s Deity.
