With a few suggestions from people on the 3d6dtl discord server I've put together what a dwarf cleric class might look like, it includes a modified spell list with some new spells!
Dwarf Cleric
Requirements: Minimum CON 9 and WIS 9
Prime requisite: STR and WIS
Hit Dice: 1d6
Maximum level: 8
Armour: Any, including shields
Weapons: Small or normal sized blunt weapons
Languages: Alignment, Common, Dwarvish, Gnomish, Goblin, Kobold
Prime requisites: A dwarf cleric with at least 13 STR and WIS gains a 5% bonus to experience. A dwarf cleric with at least 13 STR and at least 16 WIS gains a 10% bonus.
Combat
Dwarven clerics can use all types of armour. Due to their short height and religious restrictions, dwarven clerics can only use small or normal sized blunt weapons
Divine Magic
Holy symbol: A dwarven cleric must carry a holy symbol.
Deity disfavour: Dwarven clerics must be faithful to the tenets of their alignment, clergy, and religion. Dwarven clerics who fall from favour with their deity may incur penalties.
Magical research: A dwarven cleric of any level may spend time and money on magical research. This allows them to create new spells or other magical effects associated with their deity. When a dwarven cleric reaches 8th level, they are also able to create magic items.
Spell casting: The level progression table (below) shows the number of spells a dwarven cleric may memorize, based on their experience level. The list of spells available to dwarven clerics is found in Cleric Spells.
Using magic items: As spell casters, dwarven clerics can use magic scrolls of spells on their spell list. They can also use items that may only be used by divine spell casters (e.g. some magic staves).
Detect Construction Tricks
As expert miners, dwarves have a 2-in-6 chance of being able to detect new construction, sliding walls, or sloping passages when searching.
Infravision
Dwarves have infravision to 60’.
Listening at Doors
Dwarves have a 2-in-6 chance of hearing noises.
Turning Undead
A dwarven cleric may turn undead in a manner equivalent to a character of the cleric class possessing the same level.
After Reaching 8th Level
A dwarven cleric may construct a stronghold. If the dwarven cleric is in favour with their deity, the construction costs are halved, due to divine aid.
When the stronghold is complete, 5d6 × 10 dwarves of level 1–2 will arrive to serve the dwarven cleric. These followers are completely devoted to the dwarven cleric, never checking morale.
D: Death / poison; W: Wands; P: Paralysis / petrify; B: Breath attacks; S: Spells / rods / staves.
† At 1st level, a dwarf cleric may only pray for the mending spell.
