More Cleric Talents! | Patreon Weekly #283

Hey Patrons, in this weekly I’ve got some more info to share on earlier talents/spells for the Cleric.

More Talents

(Just as with last week, most of this is still WIP and partially implemented)

Last week I showed off two T1 talents, I’ve now implemented them all, and have another two to show off!

Satiated Spells only superficially ties into spell effects, but by making the spell cast the shielding trigger, the player can eat food out of combat without worrying too much about the shield fading before they can use it. Shield of Light is a more short-term defensive spell that can work well as a panic button when combined with Satiated Spells, especially with its instant activation.

Now, what about T2 Talents? Just as before, here’s a little visual overview, and some talents I’m more confident about:

Enlightened Meal is as close to a standard talent as the Cleric will get, another variant on the simple ‘food = recharging’ talent theme. Instead of the Rogue, who gets a smaller amount of charge to all artifacts, the Cleric gets a larger amount of charge to their spellbook specifically.

Divine Sense is a more active counterpart to the Huntress’ Heightened Senses. With this talent/spell the Cleric gets a huge mind vision range for a shorter period. I’ll be very interested to see how this spell ends up power-wise.

Sun Ray is a more standard offensive option, giving the Cleric a nice little panic button for enemies at a distance. It can be cast once for a blind, or twice for a stun, but can’t debuff the same enemy repeatedly. This is a little similar to improvised projectiles, giving the Cleric a quick answer to distant ranged enemies, but also a delayed panic button against tougher melee enemies.

Of course, after T2 talents come subclasses and their associated talents! Concepting for those isn’t coming together quite as quickly as it has for earlygame stuff, but I will have some stuff to share there next week.
