Priestly Vocations

Priests of each type of Ainur are, in my opinion, different enough in their outlook on life and worship to warrant their own separate vocations, so here they are. The same philosophy was used to choose the various skills and stats need to build a completed vocation as was used to choose the various spells open to a worshiper of a specific Ainur. Hence the emphasis on crafts in the skills lists for Aulë, and the emphasis on outdoor skills in the skill list for Oromë.
