Bishop
|
| Extremely intelligent and pious individuals, Bishops devote their lives
to pondering ancient knowledge. Pooling the wisdom of all schools of magic,
Bishops are well-read characters who can learn any spell. However, because
of the time required to study four spellbooks, Bishops learn spells more
slowly than their specialist counterparts. It is rumored that some Bishops
have chosen to pursue only two of the spellbooks at a time to increase
the pace of their learning in a particular area. Like the Priest, the Bishop's
contact with the divine allows him to dispel undead. The Bishop also has
the unique ability to remove cursed items from party members without casting
a spell. |
