Out of curiosity, do deities ever grant class skills to followers. Its kind of odd having a Paladin of Verdante, a deity dedicated to plants, animals and the natural cycle, who has no ranks in knowledge (nature). Of course I could take it as a cross class skill, but thats rather expensive for a paladin with only 2 skill points per level to start with.
You can always devellop a PrC. But I would generally see the followers of Verdante more as Rangers than Paladins, so you can always multi-class to take a level of Rangers... oh yeah, restriction, you can't do that, as you will not be able to raise again in Paladin. :\

The Natural Talent feat lets you pick up a cross class skill at 1 point per, and gives you a +2 bonus as well. Not that paladins are brimming with feats either. (It's an approved LEW feat, see the rules thread)

A PrC doesn't seem like the right way to go for the sake of a few skill points.
Actually, I was thinking about taking the ranger route. While it would mean Jaan can no longer gain any levels as a paladin, the ranger is probably closer in concept to what I had in mind when I created Jaan.
BTW, we seem to have lost the DM Credits proposal (amoung others). Was the final decision recorded anywhere else in the forum?

Edit: Just saw Bronte's post about the Natural Talent feat. Something to keep in mind for 6th level perhaps

You could also design a feat, similar to the one Kahuna Burger created for the monk/cleric in her game.
I faced a similar problem when I decided that my third character would be a horizon walker for whom it would make sense to have those planar terrains. Which pretty much means access to the plane shift spell. Which pretty much means going cleric. Which pretty much means having the Knowledge domain (for the knowledge (geography) skill), or multiclassing with Ranger or a different class (such as human paragon). Which pretty much meant either a delay to get the spell, or choosing a deity that isn't obviously linked to that particular way.
In the end I decided for a cleric of Russna, which seems to make enough sense (as a wandering gatherer of knowledge).

That one's back in the Guide to Living Enworld thread, thanks to Bront's unconscious reminder.

Yes, in general, I think new feats are things we'll see a lot more of in LEW. We're not adding more base classes (I believe that's been said), new races will be few and far between, and PrCs are tough to get accepted at times (Did the Dervish ever get done?) though they can add some flavor (see said Dervish) or fill in a need (see Outrider).
So, if there's a feat that would be good for your character, feel free to propose it.
However, this is why I generaly allow a paladin to multi-class if they wish, assuming it's a reasonable multi-class given the character and religion (Such as your Paladin/Ranger multi-class).
If you want, I can look into creating a multi-class feat for paladin/ranger though. I had an idea that just popped into my head.

I agree a PrC should represent a unique combination of elements. What I am looking for is a minor adjustment or adaption. A feat sounds like the way to go. But I probably would be just as well off taking a cc rank and use the L6 feat for skill focus, at least in the short run.
(OOC: If you don't go Ranger, soon you will, though--Pokemount, I choose you!)
RA, I have no idea what you are talking about. I do recall pokemount from the Is DND losing its sense of smell (or something like that) thread. I never did understand the reference.

It is the line of thought that any kind of summoning must be from the pokemon anime/card game (where strange creatures are held in some kind of magical spheres, from which they are called out), and that the concept never existed before.

A new feat could be done for Paladin/Rangers. I think there is one in one of the Complete that allow to add the bonus of Special Mount and Animal Companion together and allow Paladin to continue to progress once he has taken an level in Ranger.

That was along the lines of what I was thinking, not sure if it's out there already. It's a rough wording one, so I was considering it carefully, and will probably have to make a table, but it can be done farily well. Not sure if there is something quite like that before.

And here I thought that it was the line of thought that disposable summonable mounts are worthy of being made fun of and said nothing at all about the level of history of summoned creatures.
Pokemount = "mount concept is cheapened by summoning," not "I have no other way to describe the summoning."

Ok, so there goes one of the adventures I proposed in November. The other floped, but is still out there, might try again when there's more in the RDI.
Oirhandir (El Jefe) will be recruiting for my other adventure, he's got the details for that. Not sure if there is anyone in the RDI, and I know Someone was getting ready to recruit as well, so don't nessessarily want to steal his players.
