Contents edit

The guidebook provides supplemental information for characters belonging to the Cleric and Paladin base classes. This book introduced Divine Feats, which are still used in version 3.5. This book also contained tips for creating and playing characters of the aforementioned class, as well as several prestige classes.

Publication history edit

The book was designed by Rich Redman and James Wyatt, and was published in 2001 by Wizards of the Coast. Cover art was by Brom, with interior art by Dennis Cramer.

Although it was not updated to 3.5 Edition, most of the book's prestige classes were reintroduced in the 3.5 supplemental sourcebook Complete Divine.

Reception edit

The reviewer from Pyramid found the advice on effectively playing clerics and paladins useful, even if it "rarely goes beyond the basics information", and found the section on special paladin mounts to be one of the most interesting areas.[1]
