Description:
Morninglords dress in bright, long sleeved robes of yellow, red,
and pink. A sunburst headpiece is worn toward the back of the head to
appear as a rising sun. Adventuring
clerics usually wear more useful garb, but none the less prefer reds
and yellows, to the point of tinting their armors that color.
Morninglords
turn undead creatures at four levels higher than their listed level
if the undead is affected by direct sunlight. Intelligent undead such
as vampires know about Lathanderian specialty priests and either avoid
direct conflict or act to remove the threat they pose as quickly as
possible.
Morninglords
convey a +10% bonus for the resurrection survival score of any beings,
upon which they cast raise dead or resurrection (the Resurrection survival
score cannot, however, exceed 99%).
