Cleric Spells (Potnia)
Priestesses of Potnia have access
to the following spells. Remember, since she is a Bronze Age goddess, roll for Magical
Side-Effects for every one cast, not just healing ones. Also, as priestesses, they can cast one
extra 1st level per day, if using the optional rules found in Divinities and
Cults: Volume II.

Mycenaean
Warriors
Whether in boar’s teeth helm,
bronze breastplate, and figure-eight shield, or even positioned on a chariot in
the mighty (and very unwieldy) Dendra panoply, these fighting-men live for
personal combat. As a result, they can gain a +1 damage bonus per odd level
(1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) when fighting a single opponent.
Mve: 35’ (Dendra: 20’; though
much faster on a chariot!); AC 6 (Dendra: 3); HD 1+1; Attk: 1; Dmg: by spear or
short sword; SP: +1 dmg per odd level when in single combat; Sve: F1; AL:
varies
Minoan Warriors
Though more pacifistic than their
Mycenaean counterparts, the Minoans must defend themselves at times too. They eschew
armor though, instead dodging and bull-leaping out of the way of attacks. They
thus improve their AC by 2 per odd level (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) when lightly
clad (except if trapped or surprised, in which case their AC is 10), as well as gain a +2 bonus to all Dexterity checks too.
Mve: 40’; AC 7; HD 1+1; Attk: 1;
Dmg: by spear or short sword; SP: improve AC and Dexterity checks by 2 per odd
level when lightly clad; Sve: F1; AL: varies
Minoan
Encounters
See also Etruscan Palace
Encounters (listed on this blog under Uni) for Minoan locales, since they are
similar, but don’t forget to add minotaurs, atavars, gorgons, and griffons to
convert them into Minoan Labyrinths!
Next week: The revised version of Divinities and Cults: Volume I (Labyrinth Lord) should be available.
If you’ve spotted any typos in it (I’ve fixed a bunch over the last few
weeks), now would be a good time to let me know!
