Useful Info

Orc priests introduce smiting into the game at levels where smiting is scary. So long as an orc priest is visible, it is capable of instantly dealing 7-17 damage to you in a single turn. Even worse, they usually appear along with a pack of orcs, orc wizards, and orc warriors, and can appear as early as Dungeon:2.

Tips & Tricks

Orc priests can be neutralized by hiding from their line of sight (they will try to rush you if they can't smite you), making them confused/paralyzed, or trapping them in a throwing net. Just avoid fights where they get to cast against you for several turns while you have to chop a path through their allies.
