Cleric variant

[ChimericDream]

Here's a variant idea one of my players pitched to me. I don't have the greatest head for balance, so I'll see what you guys think.

Loses: Turn/rebuke undead, armor proficiencies, one domain
Gains: Spontaneous casting (variant in the SRD), Wis to AC and AC bonus as monk, fast movement as monk.

Opinions?

At a glance, sounds balanced to me.

Sounds good....

May want to clarity if they keep the spontaneous cure / inflict and if they also get the known domain spells for free, though. I'd allow it even if so, though.

In the spontaneous divine casters variant in the SRD, it does specify those things. The cleric gains his domain spells automatically as spells known and loses the ability to drop for cure/inflict.

Name: Temple Guardian. That would work.

I'd also allow that variant -I might even allow 2 domains-.

I like it.

I played a dwarven druid with similar swap outs from UA, wildshape and armor/shield for monk and ranger bonuses http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#druid

I felt it was a fun variant.

This one seems fine as well. I'd allow it I think.
