Indeed, I am located in Sunny Austria, the Land Down Under. Where kangaroos roam the mountain tops, and the jolly natives are woken each morning by the sonorous droning of alpenhorns and didgeridoos in concert, along with the crystal voices of the Vienna Boys' Choir. They are giving me a real headache, let me tell you.
One of us must be cracked up, because that made about as much sense to me as an elephant on roller-skates. And it certainly doesn't answer my question in any clear way ...
As to the priest
on rereading your original post, it probably won't be quite what you're looking for. In fact, the OA shaman itself may be more suited to your concept (different spell list and all). The only change necessary might be to replace the martial arts feats with a different pool of bonus feats.
Actually, the Priest is perfect! Multi-class that with Bard and you've got _exactly_ the character concept I was looking for. I really don't want to come across as a brown noser (not to suggest that you can't wipe properly

), but "the wife" was getting exasperated with my class fiddling and was suggesting something very similar to this.
Well, no Increased Movement

, but there's always the Boots of Standard Equipment (er, I mean, Striding & Springing

).
Tar, I definately see where you are going with your class idea, but didn't it bother you that you couldn't scribe scrolls or make magical items? That would bother me. I am _sure_ that as a human, one of my 1st level feats is going to be Scribe Scroll. I think I will go Spellcasting Prodigy for the other one.
Regarding the X-Bow and Chain shirt: Way ahead of you. Until I multiclass and pick up the MW Mighty Short Bow +1 (yeah baby).
I have to agree with you that Travel is a great domain. Love it, love it. I like Luck's special ability, but the spell list does nothing for me. Not when compared to Protection. So I went that route. If you take a look at Hong's Priest, they get a Third domain at 11th level. so it looks like I can't avoid Luck, since Fhargly only has three to offer.
Hong - a question about the priest: How much playtesting do you have for this? It seems to be almost too good to be true. Great spellcasting, plenty of feats, turn undead, no armor or weapon restrictions (sure they aren't offered, but just one level of some Fighter-type solves that), d6 HD, Divine Favor @ 5th. Have you played in groups with this? Or gotten forumn feedback?
Would love to know how this class doesn't dominate in game. Obviously the BAB progression hold you back, but I was wondering what other "checks" there are on this character. Just seems generous.
Cheers,

Edit --> Does anyone else think that it's unhealthy that I still crack up every time I read my own sig? The wife does ...
