 While NPCs can progress in my campaign worlds, they don't progress quickly or easily.  L1 NPCs are usually apprentices, L2 are normally assistants completing their training and Level 3 is the base level for an adept running an establishment or business, such as a Craft Workshop, Chapel, Library or School.  You may very occasionally find L4 adepts, but after that they are very rare. While NPCs can progress in my campaign worlds, they don't progress quickly or easily.  L1 NPCs are usually apprentices, L2 are normally assistants completing their training and Level 3 is the base level for an adept running an establishment or business, such as a Craft Workshop, Chapel, Library or School.  You may very occasionally find L4 adepts, but after that they are very rare.

 +Are recognised are priests by churches and religious orders, but they do not serve in mainstream temples, abbeys or monasteries.   They may run a small Community Chapel, a private chapel, serve in the military, or act as a noble's advisor.
  
-=== Private Caplains === 
  
-These adepts work in their community, away from a formal church or monastery and might be multi-classed.  Chaplains might act as Clerk and Religious Advisor to a Noble House, serve as a Military Padre, or tends to a Village Shrine  (Adept/Commoner).  Chaplains may (occasionally) lead minor religious services, although they are more likely to lead prayer meetings and offer simple religious advice.  +=== Private Chaplains ===

 Lay Preachers are Charismatic Spell Casters, they don't pray for their spells in the same way as a conventional priest, but still gain spells through their devotions. They are, by far, the weakest and least able divine casters. Lay Preachers are Charismatic Spell Casters, they don't pray for their spells in the same way as a conventional priest, but still gain spells through their devotions.

 This list is compiled from spells that appear on the spells lists for Oracles, Paladins and Omduras, three Paizo Charismatic Divine casters.  It has then been trimmed slightly, to remove spells that seem inappropriate (to me) and remove spells that on those lists at different levels).  Lay preachers are restricted to spells of L3 or lower -  this is based on a very old interpretation of divine spells that says L3 spells (and lower) are learned  as rituals, and do not need any divine intervention to cast.  L4 spells (or higher) need some sort of divine intervention (sometimes from one of the deity's servants) before they are granted.   This list is compiled from spells that appear on the spells lists for Oracles, Paladins and Omduras, three Paizo Charismatic Divine casters.  It has then been trimmed slightly, to remove spells that seem inappropriate (to me) and remove spells that on those lists at different levels).  Lay preachers are restricted to spells of L3 or lower -  this is based on a very old interpretation of divine spells that says L3 spells (and lower) are learned  as rituals, and do not need any divine intervention to cast.  L4 spells (or higher) need some sort of divine intervention (sometimes from one of the deity's servants) before they are granted.
