The Cleric is a spellcaster who gains the power to work miracles by following a spiritual regimen of meditation and rituals. The word "cleric" is a bit of a misnomer because a cleric doesn't have to be affiliated with an organized sect. We use the word "cleric" because it's the term for this class in other games (both 5E and Pathfinder). In Adventure Band, clerics don't get their powers directly through prayer. They practice rituals prescribed by a sacred mystery and thereby gain spiritual powers.
