brand new to arelith, i'm enjoying it so far. i've got a tonne of questions about clerics, though ; i hope someone can answer them.
- i understand that piety is related to a cleric's ability to cast upper-tier spells. is there anything else ? for example, on some pw's a cleric can't get high-level spells if the patron deity is a minor deity. does the strength of my character's patron deity matter ?
- the comment for the 'home and hearth' aspect notes 'healing' as the action to regain piety. does that mean any time a character whose patron deity has this aspect heals someone [whether w/kit or spell], piety is gained ? ...and does this also include 'healing' undead ? >;^)
- similar question for magic aspect -- any time any spell is cast, the cleric gains piety ?
- if my patron deity has both the 'hearth/home' and 'magic' aspects, do i get piety twice if i cast a spell that's a healing spell ?
- what exactly are spell 'refunds' ? does this mean the spell is 're-memorised' after being cast ?
- considering the cloistered path. the 'silent spell' series is pretty niche. on arelith, are silenced conditions encountered frequently enough to warrant spending two precious feat slots to fulfill the criteria for the automatic silent spell feats ?
