-These adepts work in their community, away from a formal church or monastery and are often multi-classed.  Chaplains might act as Clerk and Religious Advisor to a noble House  (Adept / Expert), serve as a Military Padre (Adept/Warrior), 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.
