Warriors and Priests of the Realms is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1996.
Warriors and Priests of the Realms is a sourcebook presenting character kits for the Forgotten Realms setting.[1] Each kit contains information such as ability score requirements, starting money, and proficiencies, as well as a general overview and role-playing information. The book organizes warrior kits by geography, while priest kits are organized by faith.[1] The book also details character classes for the Harper and Crusader: Harpers are fighter-rogues who combat evil, while Crusaders are fighter-clerics who can be of any alignment.[1]
Publication history
Shannon Appelcline commented that among other changes to the Forgotten Realms publications in the 1990s, "There was also a proliferation of adventures, often laid out in trilogies, and finally a number of more player-oriented books — doubtless intended to sell like the PHBR volumes. Some of these volumes, like Wizards and Rogues of the Realms (1995) and Warriors and Priests of the Realms (1996) even shared the same trade dress."[2]: 104
