Crafts Priest
Crafts priests are those who are dedicated to the patron deities of one of the dwarven
crafts. Although they frequently will have a temple in a stronghold, they usually preside
over a shrine or chapel in the workshops where their craft is practiced. They are usually
members of that craft's clan.
Barred: Crafts priests usually worship the god of crafts, but they may belong to most
other religions. In such cases, they are the priests who prepare ceremonial and sacrificial
items. Priests of the following gods may not be crafts priests: birth and children, death,
evil, disease, fertility, justice, marriage, love, mischief, trickery, and trade.
Role: Crafts priests are more concerned with their crafts than with the welfare of
fellow dwarves. They will seek out the finest raw materials and are often engaged in
expeditions to discover new mines or found new strongholds. Their expertise in these
matters is highly sought. Rarely tied to a central temple, they are free to go where they
please.
Secondary Skills: Crafts priests may choose any secondary skill.
Weapon Proficiencies: They may be proficient with any of these weapons: axe,
hammer, light or heavy crossbow, mace, pick, polearm, short sword, spear.
Bonus Nonweapon Proficiencies: Artistic Ability, any Craft proficiency, Endurance,
and Religion.
Recommended Nonweapon Proficiencies: Appraising, Dwarf Runes, Etiquette,
Local Dwarf History, Underground Navigation.
Equipment: Crafts priests must have access to the tools required for their craft. If
these are large, such as a forge, the priest is not required to own one, but the DM should
inform him where he can go to use one. Apart from that, Crafts priests may use any kind
of equipment.
Distinctive Appearance: According to the specific religion.
Special Benefits: A Crafts priest gains a +3 reaction bonus when dealing with
dwarves of his own clan, and a +2 reaction bonus with dwarves from other clans engaged in the same craft.
Unless a Crafts priest has injured members of his own clan, he will gladly be given
food and shelter by his clansmen.
Special Hindrances: Crafts priests have no special hindrances.
Wealth Options: They start with 3d6x10 gp.
