The concept of cleric talents (and why they are a good idea) is first presented in The Genius Guide to the Talented Cleric, along with a large number of talents (many adapted from the abilities of cleric archetypes and hybrid classes). The new talents presented here can be used with that book, or added as new options for the traditional cleric class. With the extra options, a cleric can gain power as the leader of a cult, gain favor from her god by making sacrifices, and cut deals with supernatural creatures other than her god, all while remaining the voice and hand of her chosen divinity! - from the publisher's blurb
