Immortals and Priesthoods
by Ramses RamirezFrom the magic restrictions in the HW boxed set, in AD&D terms, HW priests will NEVER have access to the following spheres: Charm, Summoning, Divination, Necromancy, and Animal. In addition, no "hold" spells work in the HW. Lastly, as a result of the Spell of Preservation, the HW priest needs a WIS of at least 16. THIS ARE ARCHETYPES FOR S&P. All priests receive 125- (Major+Minor Sphere Packet) CP to spend. Any unspent CP can be used to acquire NWP, traits, disadvantages or saved for later us in play.
