Editing Priest (section)

==Methodology==
Their actions grant favor and can bring followers, and they can trade things for more favor and there fore power.<ref>Priests, in simple terms, build up favor with a higher power and spend it, often with prayers that have one of a select and small number of possible outcomes.
