*This mod has been replaced by my 'Classic RPG Archtypes AND FULL NPC Perks GAME OVERHAUL' mod.





Mod Overview

Clerics are typically Spell Casting Warriors/Champions of a particular God.  Their spell casting abilities and holy bonuses stem directly from their Divine Patrons.

For Roleplay reasons, Daily Racial Powers have been removed and replaced with a Daily Power specific to the Divine you worship (regardless of what race you play, your Daily Power is based on the specific Divine you worship)....however, if you become a Vampire and are rejected by your Divine, you regain the default Racial Daily Powers.

You now only gain blessings from your Patron Divine!  Praying at other Shrines doesn't do anything.

Your Magicka Regen is set to 0%...as a Faith Based Spellcaster, you require infusions of Holy Energy directly from your Patron Divine to recharge your Magicka Pool.

Praying at yourPatron Divine's Shrine is now one of the very few ways of regaining your Magicka....only your Patron Divine (or an intrusive Daedric Lord) can restore your Divine Energy pool (with a few exceptions including Atronach effects, White Vial, Black Books, Apocrypha Nodes)

Potions/enchantments that fortify/restore your magicka do NOT work for Clerics.

Clerics start with spells related to their Divine Patron.  The default start spells and racial start spells have been removed!

Clerics who complete quests/challenges associated with their Divine Patron can earn even greater blessings/benefits.

Unlike Mages, Clerics do NOT have to spend years studying/meditating in order to learn how to cast spells.  Clerics are granted spell casting directly from their God.  This means that Clerics have more time to hone their other skills.

Clerics now have 6 Class Skills (varies depending on which Divine you worship).  Class Skills advance normally, but NON-Class Skills advance at only 1%.  Training (immersion breaking) is also disabled!

Clerics do NOT use spell tomes in order to learn spells.  Their spells are granted directly by their Divine Patron as they level up their spell casting ability and and purchase Perks in their relevant Magic Skill Tree.
*Example: getting the Restoration Perk 'Adept Restoration' automatically gives Mara/Arkay/Stendarr Clerics ALL Adept level Restoration Spells.
**Example2: Kynareth Clerics gain Lightning Bolt when they get Destruction Apprentice Perk...but don't get any of the other spells (and can't cast them even if they get a Spell Tome for Destruction Apprentice spells and read them)

You CAN still read Spell Tomes to learn spells...but you won't be able to cast them unless you have the required Divine Magic Skill Perks....Non-Cleric Spells will likely always be beyond your grasp (casting costs are x100)!

Wearing your God's Talisman/Amulet provides greater effects when praying at their shrines

A cleric that falls from favor with his/her Divine loses their innate Spellcasting abilities (and other Divine related bonuses).  See further down for list of actions that will result in your Divine rejecting you.

*For deeper RolePlay experience, the following changes have been introduced on each Cleric File:  Sneak -10, pickpocket -80%, no health regen during combat, start race carry weights are slightl reduced (use iNeed to lower carryweight by -200 for a more realistic feel), lockpicking -80%, tempered values now use a (+1, +2, +3) description to better simulate D&D, actually wearing armor reduces it's weight by 55% (it's far easier to wear something than it is to carry it!)




Divine Cleric Specific Details (generic RP backstories included free of charge):


Stendarr, God of Righteous Might and Merciful Forbearance
....you had completed your training as an Acolyte of Stendarr and had learned the combat basics from your sessions with the Fighter's Guild.  You were then tasked with a mission from your order...apparently, sightings of Daedra and their spawn have been increasing in Skyrim.  For your initiation as a Cleric of Stendarr, you were tasked to travel to Skyrim, investigate the situation and report back to the Temple.  ....as an aside, it was suggested you avoid the Vigilants of Stendarr, as they have taken their own path instead of following the true teachings of Stendarr...

Arkay, God of the Cycle of Birth and Death
....you had not yet finished your training as an Acolyte of Arkay when you heard the Elders speaking of an undead plague rising in Skyrim.  Dreams of becoming a Paladin of Arkay, or even a Knight of the Circle, often occupied your thoughts.  As a lad, your father spent time training you with sword and shield....before he passed away and you were introduced to Arkay.  Having far too much confidence in your fledgling combat skills and Arkay's protection, you made the decision to leave in the night.  You'll show the Elders your worth....Skyrim and Destiny await!

Mara, Goddess of Love
....you've had deep empathy for others your whole life.  While you understand that suffering, pain and death are a natural part of mortality, Love transcends all of that.  It was only natural that you became involved with the Temple of Mara...that you eventually joined the priesthood, doing good works and spreading love wherever you could.  When news of Skyrim's woes reached you, it was an easy decision to leave for Skyrim in the hopes of helping those in need....to help them remember that Love is there to bring warmth and joy, even in dark times....

-*Mara will NOT give you Poison Rune when you gain Adept Level Restoration Perk....



Kynareth, Goddess of the Heavens, the Winds, the Elements and the unseen spirits of the Air
....You've wandered Cyrodiil for years, experiencing the sights and sounds of Kynareth's glory.  Preaching of Kynareth's generosity and wisdom to those who would listen.  On a whim, you decide to head to Skyrim....you've heard of the beauty of the Gildergreen in Whiterun and wish to marvel at this wonder of Kynareth.  Travellers warn of overzealous Imperial Patrols at the border, but surely a Cleric of Kynareth wouldn't evoke suspicion!

Cleric Naughty List (Actions that can potentially result in your Divine Patron rejecting you)
-pickpocket more than 5 items
-steal more than 5 items
-steal more than 5 horses
-any murders (Grelod the Kind doesn't count as murder)
*accidental murder during combat is NOT murder, reset murder count in console with 'ModPCMiscStat murders -1'
-becoming a werewolf (regardless if you stay in human form)
-becoming undead
-equipping any Daedric armor/weapons/Artifacts  (simply unequipped them to restore your Divine connection)
-Stendarr's AND Arkay dislike followers dealing with the Daedra and Undead....having a Conjuration skill higher than 25 will result in a loss of favor.
*Talos does NOT care so much about morals...considering that Tiber Septim and Wulfharth were NOT particularly moral individuals!   The only conditions that will result in his rejection is wearing Daedric gear, being a werewolf, being undead and completing Ondolemar's 'Search and Seizure' quest....and of those, only Ondolemar's quest results in permanent rejection!


NOTES:
-Kynareth's OakFlesh Spell says 'casting cost is per second'...ignore it, the spell works correctly.

-When I get the time, I'll MIGHT add some of the more evil daedric quests to the Cleric 'naughty list'...similar to what I did with my 'Paladin of the Divines' mod, but simpler.  But I'm worried that it might be too punishing for players....so I have to tread carefully.

-I'll be adding all the Divines......and I'll be sticking very close to Lore = it will make for some very interesting (and unique) play throughs!
