Thesaurus Check - Priest
 

In an interest in trying to create a diversity of names and RP styles, I would like to try to find a new name for Priest. Something like Monk. Something that stays cloistered, something that builds monastaries, cathedrals. I do like Monk, but it wants to remind me too much of a fat friar and not enough of the overbalanced overpowerful D&D starting class.

Try "Abbot"

I saw that, thought about it, but since abbot generally RUNS the monastary, then that may be a replacement for High Priest.

Cleric?

Cleric is a good word, but for someone highly religious, something like Holyman (Or Holywoman, really) might work too.

Prophet or Seer?

A Friar?

Bishop?

Oblate?

Cardinal?

Pluffy Slave?

er i mean...High Priest?
