This cleric kills Evil.

[Kromm]

How about somebody else to join that martial artist, bard, knight, and wizard? Nobody ever said that clerics had to be heal-bots . . .

Albi Holyaxe

248-point Dwarven Cleric

Albi is a cleric of the dwarven goddess of shield maidens. Stanchly virtuous, she obeys laws, speaks no lies, and is willing to die for those around her. Indeed, she truly believes this is the order of things, and that most people are honest and honorable at heart – that's why she's willing to lay down her life.

One thing Albi is not, however, is some impoverished, wound-patching, pacifist monk. Like any dwarf, she values gold, though she prefers to pry it from the cold, dead hands of Evil. And like all in her sect, she's an implacable foe of Evil, hurling herself against the forces of darkness with fanatical zeal and no concern for her personal safety.

Albi considers herself a fighter, which is evident in her spells – she buffs herself and her allies, drawing on her considerable stamina to do so. She especially values damage output, and uses Flaming Weapon and Might (and her Heroic Might ability) to augment this. She also knows a bit about slaying evil spirits.

When Albi's personal energy runs low, she draws on her power item: an exquisite dwarven shield that holds 8 FP. Her most prized personal possession is her equally well-made axe, however, which bears a blessing from her goddess that ensures it always finds its way home.
