If you were to make a priest that deals in Exorcism, What powers would you give him ??

[smnolimits43]

I've been watching alot of horror movies lately, some of them deal with Exorcism.  The one power he might use, is holy water, but i can't think of a secondary or primary.  

[Dona Eis Requiem]

If you're thinking Blaster, then I'd suggest Sonic. 

The Priest is using his own voice to channel Divine power to cast the demons out.

Color the powers to look like golden, holy light empowering his words.

Could also throw in the Sorcery pool for the wards etc it provides.

thank you

[roleki]

Gotta be something that can solo Infernal, right?  Else that would be a might bit embarrassing. 

[tidge]

What kind of Priest are we talking about?

 

A Ninja/Trick arrow MM could fit an occidental Priest.

 

A Dark/Water Blast Defender could be a more western take, with the ritualistic powers of healing and holy water.

[Luminara]

Necromancy mastermind attacks would fit this concept quite nicely.

[Troo]

is necro/pain an option?

I give you Divine Radiance (Rad/Atomic Blaster) - an angelic embodiment of God who has come to Primal Earth to smite evildoers with golden rays of God's Light.  

 

 

 

 

• You could make your priest be a Rad/Ninja Blaster - Golden rays of God's Light and a bag of "Holy" tricks.  
• As I think more.... there are SO many options....
  • Ranged AT sets that might work:
    • Blasts sets:
      • Water

I like the warhammer priest idea.  Probably a bit off track….

 

Invulnerability Titan Weapon Tank

 

[Tobogon]

It would need the power to instantly de-spawn all demon themed enemies including MM pets, but be completely powerless against Science Origin characters

maybe I misinterpreted but I think you made an occident.  I’d think your description works for an Eastern priest not a Western priest.

Make a Peacebringer and ignore the squid/lobster forms. You get shields, a heal, and even a form that's pure light. Just color the powers appropriately and you're set.

I made my nun, Sister Sanctity, like that.

[dtjunkie]

I went energy blaster and just changed the color to white... kinda a pure light destroying evil thing.

Figs - rogue isles exorcist

 

hmm.

 

legacy chain were always a really 😎 group, fighting in unison. so as a low effort lift, probably stuff from that.

 

chains like wow shackle undead.

 

stuff where you flail yourself  like some kind of zealot, blood magic and all.  like how radiance works in lords of the fallen, all holy light and bloody thorns and nuns vomiting blood into chalices they then raise and drink to empower casts.

 

and hotcakes 🥞❤️, because christmas. also, custard.

Gravity control might be fun to role play too, and call it poltergeist activity.

[Shred Monkey]

I'm a fan of the way white electricity looks as a "holy power" ... might also do a slightly yellow tinted white.

 

Thematically, I would look at the dominator options.

No, I like this idea better than all the light blasting ones.  Fits a more natural theme.   For less Warhammer, go Willpower/Staff.  Maybe skip the breakdancing PBAoE tho...

[Scarlet Shocker]

Symphony so you can imagine Tubular Bells used in the Exorcist perhaps...

 

or Mace if you want to be like a D&D cleric, because bashing peoples heads in is so much more holy than stabbing them.*

 

Bell, Book and Candle were the traditional tools of the Exorcist - the bell because it was a holy church instrument,  and resonated around the community, the book because that's the holy scripture and the candle to shine light on the darkness. I'd suggest if you went with that theme a Sonic/Rad defender with fire as an APP. Sonic to represent the chanting, Rad to be the holy light that weakens the evil and fire to cleans their soul. Make the colours bright and bind some chants and use the CoT "Floatbooks" emote wherever possible. Also hang out in the universities and look very scary.

 

 

 

*Bishop Odo of Bayeux is alleged to have used a mace instead of a sword at the Battle of Hastings, and is portrayed as such on the famous tapestry but that may be a poor translation/interpretation of the notion. However many Holy men are known to have eschewed edged weapons to set them apart  (and above) mere knights. Knights might swear service to the Lord, but Bishops had his ear.

Thanks. I'm tempted to do something like it myself - but I might choose Dark instead of Rad to reflect the "blinding of evils" so they cannot see to do harm.

[Scarlet Shocker]

you should probably (mis)quote this from Ordell Robbie in Jackie Brown:

 

"The Ghost Slaying Axe: When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf***in undead in the room, accept no substitutes."

[WanderingAries]

NOT...a Reverse Exercism (insert Aussie joke vid here) 

[Enchantica]

Hmmm a priest that deals in Exorcism, I would make a Street justice/ Energy! Street justice to BEAT THE DEVIL OUT OF THEM and energy to sap the poor victims endurance to make it easier to BEAT THE DEVIL OUT OF THEM!
