Special Abilities
Exorcism: Lawful clerics have the power of Exorcism, that is, to drive away undead monsters, possessing spirits, and other creatures of Chaos by means of faith alone. The table below depicts a cleric’s Exorcism ability (in terms of x in 6 chance) by level and target HD.
Divine Spellcasting: Starting at 2nd level, a cleric may use divine energy in the form of spells, which are granted through prayer and worship. The power and number of cleric spells available to a character are determined by level, as shown below.
Craft Magic Items: Also starting at 2nd level, clerics can scribe scrolls and enchant weapons and armour usable by their class. They are unable to craft other types of magic items (such as potions or wands) however. Refer to the BFRPG rules for Magical Research for more information.
