The DS:UnificationChurch has no strict hierarchy, though certain cults or churches do. There are too many sub-sects to mention, many sponsoring ImperialChampion orders.
Limitations
Faith: A cleric must have the approval of his patron, and that patron must attend to him and work miracles for him, or the magic will not work. The gods do not keep constant tabs on their agents, so you might get away with minor infractions, but major errors will not go unpunished.
Focus: The cleric must always brandish the holy symbol of his god, or a scripture or religious artifact, in order to work his magic. This is usually a rather small object made of metal or wood - suitable for holding in one hand. Holographic holy symbols are also available.
Common Schticks
Healing, Summoning.
Allowed Schticks
Because these are so few, it is easier to list the allowed schticks than the prohibited ones.
Blast (limited list - see below), Conjuration, Death, Divination, Enhancement, Healing, Summoning.
Allowed Blasts
Animate, Binding, Hindrance (blindness, evil eye, terror), Paralysis, Soul Twist, Withering, Wounding.
