Benefit to Level 6 Priesthood?

[tinkthank]

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.
