The Angel's Path

Clerics who follow The Angel's Path believe that divine power is best expressed through protection, restoration, and unwavering presence on the battlefield. Clad in heavy armor and trained to wield the warhammer, these clerics stand among their companions rather than behind them, creating a bastion around which their allies can fight.

Those who remain near a follower of The Angel's Path benefit from powerful celestial protections that hinder enemy attacks, strengthen their defenses, and fortify them against harmful effects. Their restorative magic is equally formidable, allowing a single act of healing to spread divine vitality throughout those gathered around them.

As their connection to the divine deepens, these clerics become the center of a powerful battlefield formation. Allies who protect and remain near the cleric become increasingly difficult to defeat, while the cleric gains the freedom to move through battle and reach those who need them most.

At the height of The Angel's Path, even death can be denied. Through immediate divine intervention, the cleric can preserve a fallen companion, restore their strength, and grant them the opportunity to escape danger.

Followers of The Angel's Path understand a simple truth: protect the cleric, and the cleric protects everyone.
