Message: <blockquote data-quote="Beholder Bob" data-source="post: 1238231" data-attributes="member: 12866">Why an alternative cleric?  Clerics can be cherry picked (2 good saves, d8 HP, and up to 2 feats included in domains, such as time and war, as well as saves and turn undead - take a feat to use it another way per cleric splat book, uses your charisma, not level, gaining cool new ability), gain nothing (other then spell/turning) for going up level - giving strong incentive to go prestige, and considered by many an overpowered class.  This is not the only version of cleric using sorcerer like method - but I'm hoping the something at every level makes it a base class worth taking - and a prestige class a tough choice.  That, and I think they are weaker then clerics - so it makes for better balance. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> GODSMANAlignment: Within one step of his faithHit Die: d6Skill Points: (2 + Int modifier)Class Skills: Concentration, Craft, Diplomacy, Heal, Knowledge (arcana, history,  religion, and the planes), Profession, and Spell-Craft.Weapon Proficiency: all simple weapons.Armor Proficiency light armor and shields (except tower shields).
