he purpose of this series is to provide a companion to the Wzanl Spell
Compendium set. However, as this project was begun, a number of
complicating factors absent from the previous books soon surfaced.
They have shaped the development of this work, and understanding
these factors is useful for any DM or player who wishes to derive full
value from this series.
In brief, it is more important with this series than with the wizard series that the DM use
careful judgment and firmly control priest spell availability. Specialty spells for priest
characters should be set within the context of the individual campaign--completely free
spell selection from these series should not be allowed.This general advice has its roots
in how the collection of priest spells has developed over the years.
First, the combination of priest spell spheres introduced in the 2nd Ed. Rules and the
specialized deity portfolios in The Complete Priest’s Handbook completely shattered the
cohesion of the priest as a character group (clerics, druids, specialty priests). These ef-
fects have proved far greater than the changes wrought in the wizard character group by
the intrcductionof specialty schools.
Second, the concept of a deity providing special grantedpowers has bmadened over
time. Instead of a few free spell uses (or access to such nonpriest spells asfly), nonspell
abilitieslike berserker mge have been introduced, as well as other abilities that are nearly
spells in all but name (but without such details as level and casting time). A more recent
development has been the deliberate placement of specialty spells on a deity-specific
spell list several levels lower than their game effects would suggest, as a special boon
granted by that deity alone. At the same time, such Lists have also been used to bring back
older spells from out-of-print sources.
The result has been two-fold. On an individual case basis, priests of specific deities are
more interesting. However, the general utility of spell level as a measure of power for
priests has been badly eroded. This effect is becoming more pronounced as the line be-
tween granted special powers and a list of spells specific to each power steadily blurs.
Guiding players and DMs through this particular thicket of options has been a major con-
cem in preparing this series.
Third, the priest spell list (always growing more slowly than the wizard list and heav-
ily weighted toward druids) has experienced a phenomenal growth spurt. Between the
time the first comprehensive priest spell list was assembled in 1995 and closed in
December of 1997, more than 400 new priest spells have been published in official mate-
rials. This number of new priest spells is about the same as the number of wizard spells in
the 2nd Ed. Player’s Handbook!At the time of this compilation, the new material is only
beginning to make its impact felt.
While DMs of considerable experience should fare well, those with a lesser degree of
mastery should proceed with caution. The Introduction has been deliberately slanted
toward a conservative approach for the sake of the latter. Experienced DMs are encour-
aged to use this material in any way they desire to enhance the enjoyment of their players.
That is, after all, what it’s all about.

- Ancestral Blessing -Oriental

For example, if a 5th-levelpriest casts this spell
on a troll, she might leam that trolls can regenerate
(a strength), that they are particularly susceptible
topre (a weakness), and that this particular troll
was panially blind in his left eye. The last nugget
of information might translate into a +I bonus to
hit, at the D M s discretion, if the priest attacked so
as to exploit the troll’s weakness.

According to legend, one of the earliest priests

of Tempus, to win the Red Knight’s favor, em-
ployed this spell before battling a rakshasa. With
it, he divined that race’s weakness to blessed

crossbow bolts, a fact that is now h o w n by many
adventurersthroughout the Realms.

The material component of this spell is the
priest’s holy symbol, which needs simply to be
touched to cast the spell.
