Priests of other gods can receive and pass along prophecies. However, since this is rarer, the DM has the right to approve or disapprove any character taking this Priest Kit.
To be a Prophet Priest, the character must have a Wisdom of 15 or better.
A character may not abandon this kit. As long as he is a priest, he is a Prophet Priest.
