Necrotheologist {Book: Requiem for a god}

Necrotheologist
The necrotheologist specializes in the study of dead gods.
Despite their studious approach, however, they are also usually hardy and capable individuals, able to call upon the lore
they have mastered to aid them in battle and other situations. Their accumulated knowledge grants them a strange
amalgam of spells and powers drawn from the loosed divinity and essence of dead gods themselves. They know a bit
about the undead, divination, magical attacks and defenses,
and other uses of divine energy.
To begin the path of necrotheology, a character must
imbibe godsblood. Sorcerers, wizards, and bards make excellent necrotheologists, as do clerics, although they must be
wary of delving too deep into the study of dead gods or risk
offending their deity. Ex-clerics, or clerics who have lost their
god, excel as necrotheologists.
Both the Memento Mori and the Cabal of the Dirge welcome necrotheologists into their ranks. Others work alone
or in their own small groups. One frequently encounters
them around or at the site of a god’s death.
