War Priest
Source: Volo’s Guide to Monsters p. 218, Mythic Odysseys of Theros
War priests worship deities of war and combat. They plan tactics, lead soldiers into battle, confront enemy spellcasters, and tend to casualties. A war priest might command an army or serve as a warlord’s right hand on the battlefield.
