Priest Proficiencies Like wizards, priests acquire a variety of nonweapon proficiencies over the course of their careers. More than any other character, a priest is likely to find a use for common or everyday skills. In fact, in many cultures, priests are the principal teachers, scholars, or craftsmen of their societies. Priests have a nonweapon proficiency progression that equals that of a wizard, but gain weapon skills much faster.

In this section, we'll take a look at some new priest proficiencies. These should be considered addenda to the Table 37 : Nonweapon Proficiency Groups in the Player's Handbook. Refer to Table 10 : New Priest Nonweapon Proficiencies.
