Benefit to Level 6 Priesthood?

[Daynarr]

Bug indeed. Clearly, your prophet fancies himself an exterminator and is misusing his powers to smite ants, which are too small to be seen in the battle screen. Rest assured that the ants are being smitten with great accuracy, though.

Maybe someone should make a mod "Revenge of the Ants".

I dont know -- maybe in Drain provinces the 0 fatigue of priest spells cause something like 10? (Anyone know?) Then being level 6 could be useful fatigue-wise. Being level 7 however is definately nice +1 pen on smite.

the main advantage of having a very high level into priesthood is for the reanimate special order. For example A priest level 4 will reanimate one tomb wyrm/turn (C'tis Desert Tombs), whereas a level 6 (Ekishnugal as prophet) will rise 3/turn.

I think that is true only for Unholy priests, not for normal ones.

True, only unholy can reanimate.

I think I've read somewhere than Banishment was more powerful if cast by higher level priests ? Did I imagine that ?
Else there's no point in getting Holy 6 or more, as Smite is lvl 5...

Area = lvl x2
Range = 15 + lvl x5
DMG = 3 + lvl x2

LVL 6 Priest:
Area 12
Range 45
DMG 15
MR -2

LVL 5
Area 10
Range 40
DMG 13
MR -1

And a lvl 2:
Area 4
Range 25
DMG 7
MR 0

Preaching is also affected.
