Rifts Priest of Osiris



Priest Of Osiris
Alignment:  Good Only


Method 1 Traditional Priest of attaining OCC:  Training by Clergy in secret Osiris Home Dimension
Learns all priest powers + "Spells" as per Mystic Rules which are trained "prayers" to Osiris and really focus the Mystics own powers (brought out with Osiris's guidance).

Method 2: Curse Priest
Holding 3+ holy relics of Osiris causes good aligned (unprincipled) user to convert to rifts priest if they fail to resist call of Osiris (save vs insanity) or drop the items.  Selfish aligned characters who hold the items have alignment raised one level per month until good (unprincipled minimum) , then transform into priest and become overwhelmed by visions of Osiris returning to life, making that their life quest.

Method 3: Hermetic study by hermits living in caves or other holy places once associated with Osiris (Egypt old kingdom rifts earth) can sometimes be rewarded with glimpses of Osiris's wisdom and Priest OCC
Method 4: With Osiris supposedly dead, who or what is really returning his prayers?


Rifts Rules state Priest get three of these Pantheons of the Megaverse Powers + Mystic Spells + Dragons and Gods Light an Dark Pantheon

House rules in 3rd Age Osiris Priests gain them as they level, using reordered numbers in the book as the levels, so each Level they gain a new power.  3rd age priests of Osiris get spells as "prayers" at 5th level.  Forced curse priests don't get the training of the mystic spells but do get the other powers.
