You have spent your life in the service of a temple to Sune. You act as an intermediary between the realm of the holy and the mortal world, performing sacred rites and maintaining the rose gardens and small altars in the town you are from. You are not necessarily a cleric—performing sacred rites is not the same thing as channeling divine power.

You have worked with the other Acolytes, Clerics, Paladins, and holy people to protect the temple from darkness and vulgarity. In all things, light and beauty are key, so you are adept and basic gardening and maintenance. 

Skill Proficiencies: Nature, Religion

Tool Proficiencies: Gardener's tools, Carpenter's tools

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A rose pendant (a gift to you when you entered the priesthood), 5 sticks of incense, vestments, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.

Suggested Characteristics

Acolytes are shaped by their experience in temples or other religious communities. Their study of the history and tenets of their faith and their relationships to temples, shrines, or hierarchies affect their mannerisms and ideals. Their flaws might be some hidden hypocrisy or heretical idea, or an ideal or bond taken to an extreme.
