Introducing Hero #4 - Catherin the Cleric

Hey Heroes,

This week, we focus on a hero who fights for justice and the Light. She has flexibility in the kind of role she can bring to a team - having a strong stable of offensive and healing spells, while being no slouch in the combat department either.



Catherin the Cleric
Catherin is a cleric of the Holy Order, holy warriors who train to combine both faith and steel to become paragons of justice and strength. As a peacekeeper of the realm, she fights tirelessly to defend the realm against threats of both physical and supernatural in origin.

Starting Talents
Her training and background gives Catherin a disciplined personality, and this shows in her starting talents. She's not one to back off from doing what's right, and championing the right causes, and she has the ability to back up her words.

  • Stubborn - Has a +1 bonus to Endurance and Willpower challenges
  • Tough As Nails - Has a starting +3 HP bonus
  • Proficiency : Blunt Weapons - Can use maces and flails.
  • Proficiency : Medium - Can use medium armor.
  • Proficiency : Shields - Can use shields.


Skill Schools
Every school has around 20-30 unique skills. Shown below is a small sample of the kind of skills Catherin can obtain over the course of her adventures...

  • Divine - Divine skills focus on channelling the power of the Gods to lay waste to your foes.



  • Holy Warrior - Holy Warrior skills focus on combining offensive and defense abilities that are mostly martial in nature.



  • Spirit Healer - Spirit Healer skills focus on empowering, protecting and restoring your allies.



Skill Previews
Here are a couple of preview shots of select skills in action!

Smite

Radiance

Healing Wind

Build Potentials
Catherin can fulfill multiple roles in the party as the need arises. Her healing abilities are second to none, which can help sustain her allies through a rough patch, or to reverse the effects of a tactical mistake. For a more self sufficient and capable party, she can dish out the hurt with her divine abilities, although it requires her to build up her channelling charges.

  • Divine - A cleric who weakens and smites foes down with powerful spells.
  • Holy Warrior - A fighter that can soak up damage or jump to her ally's defense when needed.
  • Spirit Healer - A priest that keeps up the vigor of her allies, while also enhancing their prowess.
  • Divine+ Holy Warrior - A potent combination where martial abilities feed into powering up divine abilities.
  • Divine + Spirit Healer - A spell focused cleric that can competently dish out both offensive and defensive spells.
  • Holy Warrior + Spirit Healer - A team-focused fighter that fights in the front line, but can pull out healing spells in a tight situation.
