Neverwinter Nights 2: WarCry Exclusive: The Warpriest PrC

In Dungeons & Dragons (both 3E and 3.5), prestige classes allow players to choose a specialized type of character focus that goes beyond what's offered by the "core" classes. Fighters excel with weapons, wizards are the masters of offensive magic, but those professions do not allow characters to shine in the way that an assassin or blackguard can. Prestige classes offer special abilities that exemplify the concept behind the name -- weapon masters gain superior weapon talents, divine champions gain the ability to smite enemies of the faith -- giving players the ability to create spectacular characters.

While Neverwinter Nights 2 maintains most of the prestige classes from the original game, it also has several new options. Two of these new classes are the frenzied berserker and the warpriest. Both classes were taken from the pages of 3.5 supplements (Complete Warrior and Complete Divine, respectively) and adapted for use in a computer environment.

Warpriest

Warpriests are fierce, earthy clerics who pray for peace but prepare for war. Their strong wills, powerful personalities, and devotion to their deities make them fearsome combatants. Warpriests are most useful as members of parties fighting large battles, where their terrifying and inspirational abilities can have the greatest effect. Though clerics are the most likely characters to become warpriests, militant druids often follow the path as well. It is not unheard of for dedicated paladins and rangers to become warpriests, but it is quite rare.
