Alright, alright, let’s gab about this… this… storm thingy and cleric stuff. My old man always said, “If ya gonna fight, fight like the thunder!” So, I guess these storm sorcerer tempest cleric fellas took that to heart. Don’t rightly know what all them fancy words mean, but I’ll tell ya what I’ve heard, the way I understand it.

Now, from what I gather, these fellas, they ain’t just whacking folks with sticks. They got magic, see? Sorcerers, they’re born with it, like my cousin Betsy who could always find water with a stick. And clerics, well, they get their power from… somethin’ up there, I reckon. Like the preacher back home, always goin’ on about the Lord’s power. So, you mix these two together, and you get some real fireworks, or should I say… thunder and lightnin’?

• Storm Sorcerer: These guys are like the storm itself. They can make the wind howl and the lightnin’ strike. Think of ‘em as the wild, untamed part of the storm. They’re zappy and flashy, like them city slickers with their fancy cars. They ain’t got much in the way of staying power, though. Kind of like a summer storm – quick and powerful, but it don’t last long.
• Tempest Cleric: Now, these fellas are the backbone of the storm. They’re the thunder, the rumble that shakes the ground. They’re tougher than them sorcerers, wearin’ that heavy armor like my old man wore his work boots. They can take a punch and keep on goin’. They also got that lightnin’ and thunder power, but they’re more… sturdy about it. They ain’t gonna blow away with the first gust of wind.

Put ’em together, and whatcha get? A whole lotta trouble for anyone standin’ in their way, that’s what! They got all that flashy magic from the sorcerer, and that tough hide and strong will from the cleric. It’s like havin’ a wildcat and a bear fightin’ on your side – one’s quick and mean, the other’s tough and strong. And both of ‘em can call down the thunder and lightnin’!

Now, folks say there’s different ways to make these two work together. Some say ya gotta be one of them variant humans or custom lineage folks, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like them city folk with their newfangled ways. I guess it means you get a head start on somethin’, like learnin’ how to fight with a stick before you even get your first pair of overalls. They say it lets you pick somethin’ called a “feat” early on, which can make all the difference. Like learnin’ to swing that stick harder or knowin’ a few extra magic words. There’s also talk about “satyrs,” but them folks sound too wild for my likin’. Always dancin’ and playin’ music, not enough work gettin’ done.

See, a tempest cleric, they’re tough. They wear that heavy armor like a turtle shell, and they got more health than them skinny sorcerers. More meat on their bones, ya know? They can take a beatin’ and keep on dishin’ it out. They got this thing where they can smack folks back if they get attacked, and that smack ain’t no love tap, I tell ya. It comes with lightnin’ and thunder, enough to make your hair stand on end. They’re the kind of folk you want on your side in a bar fight.

Now some say another type of sorcerer, the draconic ones, they are tougher with more health. I don’t know nothing ‘bout no dragons. But if they have thicker hides that’s good. And the more of a beating you can take the longer you can fight.

And then there’s the spells. These fellas got all sorts of ways to make the weather do their biddin’. They got spells that send waves of energy crashin’ down, and spells that call down lightnin’ from the sky. They got spells that can blow you off your feet, and spells that can shake the ground you stand on. It ain’t just for show, though. They use it all to fight, to protect themselves and their friends. Like a farmer usin’ a storm to water his crops, but instead of water, it’s lightnin’ and thunder!

Now, there’s some big ol’ spell called Destructive Wave. It’s supposed to be powerful, like a flash flood comin’ down the mountain. But some say it doesn’t work the same with the cleric’s thunder powers. They say you need special gear, somethin’ called ReverbOrb gear, to make it really sing. Sounds like them city slickers and their gadgets again. Always needin’ some fancy contraption to make things work.

Sometimes I hear folks sayin’ maybe you don’t need the cleric part at all. Just go full storm sorcerer and let the lightnin’ fly. But then you ain’t got that toughness, that grit that the cleric brings. You’re like a lightnin’ rod in a field, powerful but easy to knock over. Me? I like havin’ somethin’ solid to back up all that flash. Somethin’ that can take a punch and keep on fightin’.

So, there you have it. Storm sorcerer and tempest cleric. A whole lotta lightnin’ and thunder, a whole lotta power, and a whole lotta ways to make it work. It ain’t just about slingin’ spells, though. It’s about bein’ tough, bein’ smart, and knowin’ how to use what you got. And most importantly, it’s about fightin’ like the thunder, just like my old man always said.
