Cleric Weapon Proficiencies
A Cleric, as a man of the cloth, has restrictions aimed at making his profession less gruesome: he is not allowed to draw blood, but may bludgeon his opponent to death. Thus, no edged or pointed weapons are permitted (although somehow the morningstar and spiked mace and flail managed to get through). Any type of armor is allowed.
Armor, of course, must be available to be worn. The cleric could use any type of protection he can acquire, but can only acquire these types initially:
- Banded Mail
- Bronze Plate
- Chain Mail (Elfin is allowed if available)
- Field Plate
- Full Plate
- Great Helmet
- Small Helmet
- Leather Armor
- Padded Armor
- Plate Mail
- Ring Mail
- Metal Scale Mail
- Buckler
- Large Shield
- Medium Shield
- Small Shield
- Small Wooden Shield
- Splint Mail
- Studded Leather Armor
Cleric weapons are limited to those which do not draw blood. Here are those which are available which fit the bill:
- Club
- Footman's Flail
- Horseman's Flail
- Hammer
- Lasso
- Footman's Mace
- Horseman's Mace
- Sap
- Staff Sling
- Quarter Staff
Return to Step 10 at the proficiencies count for the Cleric or the Holy Order of the Stars.

The Multiverser Information Center
The complexity of creating a D&D character always reminds me of how much simpler it is to play Multiverser®
, the game which incorporates all other games, all other worlds, everything imaginable, with nothing else to buy.
A consideration of time travel....
Temporal Anomalies in Popular Movies
There are enough time travel films out there now that most of the things which could go wrong in time have been shown on the silver screen. This page applies a new conception of how time works (discussed in the Multiverser®
game system to help referees sort out game scenarios in which player characters travel in time) to unraveling the most popular of such movies. An Event Horizon Hot Spot
and Sci Fi Weekly Site of the Week which has won the author national recognition as an authority on time travel in fiction.
