How to create a priest class?

[G-Solo (Indonesia)]

Hi, I'm new here, and I wonder how do we make a priest character is. Because the 'priest' animation is considered as a mage. And it's weird to see that a priest use magic like another mage.

But if I make a new category of magic, like say prayer, then how can I make a weapon that not inflict damage to the enemy, but to heal self and friends? Thank you.

If you want to use healing and other support magic, you don't make it use magic. That class won't learn any type of magic.
Instead, you need to go to the Details option of the class tab and tick on the "Can use Staves" option.
After that, make sure to create items (not weapons) of the Staff type, so they can only be used for that class and other classes with the same option.

Oh thank you. So we can't make a spell that can do something like regeneration to our people?

Well, I managed to create a priest class that use physical attack, and capable to use healing prayer (well, I make a new item category, and it work). I use "Priest" animation, and mercenary for combat animation.

Thanks for your help.

If by regeneration, you mean something that gradually recovers HP each turn: then I'm fairly sure you can.

In the database, create a new State, and set "automatic recovery" to a positive number. Then just set "duration in turns" to however long you want the regeneration effect to last for.

Then in your weapon/staff/item/etc, set "optional state" to inflict this new state (likely you'd want it with 100% chance).
And that should do it.
It becomes like a reverse poison, adding HP instead of removing it.
