 Adept is by far the most disappointing NPC class.  The other NPC classes have a clear place in the game, while the poor old adept is some sort of strange mix of arcane and divine casting abilities. I use these archetypes to fix that.  Apart from the notes below, these Adept Archetypes conform to the published class specification.
-While NPCs can progress in my games worlds they don't progress quickly or easily.  L1 Adepts are usually in training somewhere, 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 Chapel, Library, School) although you may very occasionally find L4 adepts, but after that they are very rare.

 Most adepts fall into the [[consolidated:economy:start#the_silver_economy|Silver Economy]] bracket and have a reasonably comfortable life.  They eat regularly and may even have a very small room to call their own.  However, Adepts are a diverse group -  some have a standard of living similar to commoners, others have a much more comfortable life.

 ===== The Divine Adept =====
-It seemed a shame just to have one Divine Archetype, considering there is such a wide range of clerical classes and that non Clerics can be priests of some gods as well.  I have settled for three that (I think) gives me a lot of flexibility in the way I use them.  Most Divine Adepts take Brother or Sister as a personal 'title'.

-All divine adepts have the ability to 'activate' a shrine or an altar for 24 hours, by praying for their spells at that location.  Shrines and graveyards might just have a single clergyman (low level adept) to look after the shrine and and pray there.  Other religious buildings will have a group of clerics assigned to them to hold regular program of payer meetings and ceremonies, to ensure that the altar stays permanent dedicated to the deity.  A shrine or an altar with these daily prayers becomes inactive and loses many of its benefits.
