Evil Clerics

Some Clerics worship evil powers. Among the Druids and the Priests of the Hundred, evil Clerics are uncommon but not unheard of, and such Clerics follow the same rules and restrictions as described above. They may perform human sacrifice, employ undead monsters, and perform other atrocities, but always within the rituals of their faith; they believe causing suffering or death for any personal reason (such as sadistic pleasure) is disrespectful to the evil gods or spirits. The believers in Tah (aka Tahists) believe that only Tah is truly a god. Their beliefs include a being, usually called Shaitah or Mephistus, who was once a servant of Tah but turned to evil. Shaitah's goal is to tempt mortals away from belief in Tah; thus, Tahists believe that Druids and followers of the Hundred Gods have been deceived by Shaitah, and they try particularly hard to convert them. But there are those heretical Clerics, sometimes former followers of Tah, who have turned to the worship of Shaitah. They claim (heretically, according to the Churches of Tah) that Shaitah is a god, coequal with Tah, and they wish to help Shaitah win the eternal battle. It is the Game Master's decision whether or not to allow players to play evil Clerics, but in general this is not recommended.
